You were quite the athlete. It's no wonder you had trouble with your knees. Do they give you problems now?

I played on 3 baseball teams, did rowing and volleyball. Then my knees got messed up. Had to have surgery on both of them when I was 18/19. And I wasn't even that heavy back then ?
You're on your way. It won't be long now.

Hi folks just a little update on how my progress is going, I saw the surgeon ( Dr Hagen) last week and picked up my optifast. My appointment was very brief, he weighed me again and took some notes and asked me how I was feeling and if I still want to and if I'm ready to do this. Of course I responded yes he sent me on my way and told me his secretary will take care of everything else that I need. His secretary Ella was super nice and helpful gave me my pre-op package optifast and my sick leave note for work. She told me that the hospital will be contacting me with my appointment with the anesthesiologist and pre-op which is about a 4 hour appointment.
Oh yeah and my surgery is booked for Friday March 15th!!

Good morning everyone. Hope you all had a good weekend. It was miserable weather here, and still is. Not much on the go today, I'm staying home to avoid the slippery roads.
QOTD: Were you in any sports in highschool? I was on the gymnastics team. If I tried to do a front walkover now I think I would throw out my back and break a hip.
The eats today at 4 years post-op are:
B. Coffee, coffee, coffee
S. Protein coffee shake
L. Big bowl of cabbage roll soup (no rice)
D. Scrambled eggs, bacon, half of an avocado.
S. Protein latte before bed.
Have a great day everyone.
