Well I'm 2 months from surgery and still making changes. Remy dog and I have been walking the horse track at the feed store in the evenings and I've lost another 15 lbs. I notice the difference because my knee doesn't ache as much anymore which is honestly such a relief. You have no idea how much it hurts til it stops hurting. Thankfully this means I can get off the Aleve and ibuprofen now.

I went through some boxes and found old clothes that no longer fit because I outgrew them so I washed them and put them in my small dresser in anticipation of wearing them as I go through stages of weight loss.

I'm stocked up on 4 different protein powders, shakes and snacks in case I don't care for something after surgery. Plus I have all kinds of popcicles and "ice creams" made up and frozen in little containers. I cooked up 3 pots of broth, chicken, beef, and vegetable and froze little containers of it. I even made my favorite veggie soup and pureed it. Doesn't taste bad at all really.

I got part of my tax return so I'm only $2000 from surgery and I have picked up extra on call hours at work so I will have just enough the week before surgery.

One step at a time but I'm getting there.

Are you getting excited? I know what you mean about the pain! OMG! I used to hurt all over especially my legs. I didn't even really know I was in pain like you...until it stopped. I think your doing great! Changing before surgery makes things easier.
