Hip replacement 4 weeks ago
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi everybody I have just found this forum and it seems very helpfull I had myop 4 weeks ago tomorrow I invested in a electric chair before hand and it has been a godsend although I only sleep for two or three hours at a time I cannot sleep in bed yet I am looking forward to that. I am still using two sticks to.walk and wondered when I can stop using them. I have two more injections to go I hate them as I dont like needles. Im afraid I have put on half a stone since I got home so need to start dieting again, anyone else have this problem?

Please don't be too anxious to go from 2 sticks to none at all. Ease your way down to one and then none. It's always better to be safer than sorry. Also, I'm from the USA so words here are different to me. Are "sticks" canes or crutches and what is a half a stone? I too lost weight prior to surgery (7 1/2 weeks ago THR), but have gained most of it back. Good luck to you!!!! Ginny USA

By the way I gained 23 pounds in the first six months too. But since 22 Nov I have lost 23'.6 pounds and 20 inches.I'm looking pretty good.
I was up to 221 pounds when I started the diet.and this one doesn't require sooo much exercise.

what part of USA??? I am eating like crazy. I lost 36 pounds prior to surgery (I still needed to loose a lot more, but every bit counted), and i'm afraid ive gained almost all back since i have been home. I also quit smoking. so, between the surgery and not smoking, i have a double whammy. i know i will work the weight off once i get going again. summer will soon be here and i live in new jerey by the shore. wont be long before i walk the boardwalk pain free!!!! Sleep will change for you shortly!!!! hang in there!! Ginny USA

I hand wt too after surgery.
However since 22 Nov I have lost 23.5 pounds and 20 inches and I'm thrilled.I can look inn a full length mirror feel good instead feeling getting sick to my stomach.
Before surgery I was walking six miles a day.now I struggle walking 3 miles a day.My dog Molly helps with that.I just don't have enough energy to walk more..have Great day.
