Topic: constipation

Have any of you struggled with severe constipation despite correct diet, fiber supplements, even mild laxatives? Thinking my "not going" is a problem, AND affecting scale numbers. Don't see doc till May 21 for 3mo follow up.

Topic: Surgery Booked for 18-MAR-13

As my subject line says, my surgery is booked for march 18th, 2013 here in Montreal at the Royal Victoria Hospital.

This is just another step in the changes that I have made in my life over the last 2 years.  I made the decision to change my life because of body pains and plain discomfort that I have been suffering more and more as I grow older.  I don't have hihg blood pressure, or high cholesterol or any breathing issue....I have extreme joint pain and have dislocated my knees several times over the years, starting when I was in high school playing basketball.  

The weight does not helpt and is a detriment to getting any help from the medical community for the joint pain because they want you to lose weight before they will look at the deteriorating joints.

I'm here to join a community of people who know what I'm going through.  Not everyone does.

I hope to hear from some of you

 

I quit smoking on January 1st, 2012 (after almost 24 years of smoking).  I started going to the gym on June 14th, 2012 and was going almost 4 times a week for 6 months until I dislocated my knee twice since December 2012.  The cold increases the joint pain and instability.

Topic: Finally Thursday Feb 28th

I have been quite well thus far on the pre-op diet and getting excited that the date is nearly here.  I have pre op clinic with my surgeon and then the hospital on Tuesday.  I'm still very excited and of course anxious and worried.  I have placed the controls in my Higher Power's hands and I will do my best to remember not to try and take it back thinking that I can do better or know what is best for me.
