 I have gained 10lbs in the past 3 months. I had orthopedic surgery 3 months ago and just returned to work 2 weeks ago. I know that's a big part of it. Up until last week I was constantly in pain and not able to do anything. I've been feeling trapped because all I could do was sit on my ass all day!! Fortunately, my PCP put me on a med that has been helping so much that I hope to get started on getting off my ass and moving!! 12 hrs at work makes me exhausted but I'll get back in the swing. I missed my 9 month visit with Dr V because I was unable to drive...........gotta reschedule! Hope to finally get back to meetings but I feel like a total failure and that my surgery is not working for me. Just wanted to get this all off my chest!!! ~~~~~~~~~Kim

Go to the meeting tonight if you can, I will be there. I have been going up and down the same 5 pounds for two months! Hate that I cannot break this stall, hoping to hear something tonight that clicks. Maybe I will say "hhhmmm, maybe I should/could do that!"?LOL?
Stay positive you are still in that one year window I am sure the weight loss will kick in again!

BTW just noticed you are only 10 lbs from goal, that could be the issue. Those last ten pounds can be a b**ch and may be a rebound gain?

 Sue, I'm working tonite so can't make the meeting. The 10 lbs from goal are now 20 'cuz I didn't fix my ticker....in denial! I called to make an appointment with the NUT and MD to see if I can mix things up a bit. I know the majority of my problem is almost no exercize. Now that I'm on the mend I hope things will start turning around. I didn't do this surgery for nothing!!!!!~~~~~~~~~Kim

It was a good meeting. The first I have attended because I usually work every Tuesday and Wednesday. Maybe we will meet at another meeting. Stay possitive and good luck!

 Happy to say that 6lbs dropped off like "magic"! 4 more lbs and I'll be back to my weight before ortho surgery. But like you said, at that point I'll be 10 lbs from goal, I've heard they're the worst!! Thanks!~~~~~~Kim
