Sara you ROCK!!! So very proud of you! You are doing awesome and I am praying that the Docs quit farting around with alternative treatments and get down to the nitty-gritty and replace that knee! Keep rocking it!

Yay!! You are doing so well and every lb you lose before your knee replacement will help with your recovery. Keep up the good work!

Thank you everyone I was overwhelmed by the weight drop and excitement took over this morning when the scale read 298 so many good emotions, I do think that with yesterday I eat higher protein as I had steak for supper something we don't eat much of cause it's so expensive but I got 2packs of steak 10xx a piece had 3 little steaks in it but that's plenty for me and the hubby and then my carb intake yesterday was under 100g and the biggest thing my sodium intake was 2300 lower than the recommendation for intake so all that helped me not hold onto water weight and helped with 2lb loss today I had little bit more in sodium not much but had 148g carbs due to vegetable soup and dang jiffy cornbread mix if I could cut bread products I could probably due better than 150g of carbs a day I'm trying though and I have meatloaf plan for tomm if I'm not snowed in as I need to get a few things to put in it like onion and eggs.. we got 2in today but tonight's gonna feel like windchill of -10 and by 8am windchill will be -15to -20 hopefully I can continue this process of dropping more weight I did 3 sets of 15 reps today with a 10lb kettleball and trying to exercise as well as I can without standing up or walking around alot. Yesterday went to the dollar store and walked around to get some exercise in...

You are doing great! FYI, my mother had both knees replaced (same day!) in her mid 70's and she's still very mobile in her mid 80's. You've got this!

Badjujugirl-did your mom need someone to stay with her after surgery? We have a family member who needs both knees replaced also and were wondering about that

I had a right-side uni-compartment replacement and it bought me a couple years only before I had a revision to total. I had gone bone-on-bone actually 12 years before my left knee total because I was "too young" for a replacement. My rheumatologist went ballistic when I told her why I was limping so much in my initial visit with her. She demanded I be given the replacement. I've had it 25 years now. I do not agree that anyone should have surgery withheld because they are "too young."
