    Hi Mary,

    Well done darling!

    I'm having to borrow daughters size 16 as I've had 7 weeks of stuffing chocolate & all the wrong things so now have almost a stone to get off. Ouch.

      Hi Karen

      Feel for you there I have added one stone four pounds, in 8 weeks, could take two pounds off for the implant as apparently that is what it weighs.

      At least I went back to my weight loss class today, going on holiday in May and need to fit into my bathing costume, so fingers crossed for some weight loss.  Good luck to you.

      Hi Shirley,

      Hope your weight loss class went well & you are full of enthusiasm.

      Why do we eat junk knowing we shouldn't?

      Good luck to you Shirley & roll on May. XX

    Well done nice person!

    I'm 22 days post op and while I use a crutch in town I too have been shopping for a new summer lightweight jacket...also to find out about Leki poles for nature walks post 6 weeks and return of crutches.

    I enjoyed shopping but found the very upright chairs in shops were very uncomfortable on ny haunches and wound. Not pain...but very uncomfortable.

    Wonder if very upright chairs are awkward to others too?

      I was just so pleased I could manage in the changing room . Sure you will lose it when you are fully mobile again .

    You are really risking dislocation.

    Did your surgeon lifted the hip precautions?

    Protect yourselves from dislocation.

      I was careful . Trying on clothes in changing room with a seat is just the same as at home .

      Hi Beach bum....

      A tad over caution here maybe?

      Surely we need to explore at our own pace, respecting the guidelines as well, guidelines.

      The boost of new jeans is a psychological boost too methinks!

      Careful yes, and push it a bit too...onwards and upwards!

    "Who's a clever girl?"  Mary is a clever girl.

    Mic, I found upright chairs with hard seats very uncomfortable too.
