Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!!!!!!!

W ell I'm here now but not often, as for me I'm past my goal weight of
 153lbs as of last Monday I'm at 146 my family doctor wants me to eat
  more because he says I've lost to much since my double knee
  replacements in Nov, it's very rough on me I'm not walking like
I should and still using a walker & cane but I do know the power of
 prayer please keep me in prayer have a blessed weekend.

My prayers are with you Lovedoll....what a switch huh your doctor wants you to eat more...there is a silver lining to every cloud :)

I do pray that you will make a full recovery LoveDoll>  I deal with knee issues myself and am contemplating surgery also.  Keep the faith!

Okay, wow, I'm out of lurk mode again....can't beleive it.

Well, again I am 2 years out.  Orginally, I thought this was the worst thing I could have done due to complications encountered early on, but, I had a wonderful surgeon who did what she could to make me comfortable for the months I suffered.  To make a long story short...I could not keep anything down and ended up a feeding tube!!!  Have been complication free since...Thank the Lord!!!!

I am happy with my decision that I made, because I do know that without this surgery I would not be where I am today with my overall health and weight!!!  This is a life style change and a great one I must say.  My eating habits are great and I LOVE the gym!!!! I make sure to take my vitamins daily and I do my best to get my water in...I do have days of struggles with that one thing.

If I can offer any encouragment to any of the newbies or anyone who needs encouragment please do not hesitate to ask!!!

Hey Diva looking good!!!I'm sure the suffering in the beginning is but a mere past memory.  Love those GUNS girl!

Thanks Pokerchips!! 

You are so right, it is a mere past memory, although my daughter and I were talking the other day, and she was just saying "Wow Mom, remember how sick you were, you could not even dress yourself" and look at you now!!!!  When I think back about how ill I was...IV's in my neck and everything....it reminds you how good God is!!!!!!!

With all the struggles I've been through I cannot do anything but SUCCEED!!!!!!
