Osteoarthritis knees, Menopause & VSG Post Op Updates:
I lost a total of 95 pounds during my weight loss WLS journey. After two years, I have re-gained 25 pounds and have been able to maintain a comfortable body weight. I did not make my original goal weight of 145 lbs., but I do feel much better. I have lowered my blood pressure, no longer have sleep apnea and went from a size 28 into a size 16/18 today.
I am on a high dosage of HRT patch as I endure the change of life, and it is working well. No more hot flashes, mood swings and I still feel randy like a Cougar in heat. - I have not taken a lover yet, but God help the man whoever he is, who de-flowers this wanna be MILF after her long awaited erotic hideous.
My next weight-loss goal is to wear a size 10/12 long term and am not sure what that will look like on the scale. The end of 2017 has been a very physically painful one that I am working on. I am suffering from bone on bone Osteoarthritis in my right knee and am getting an MRI next week to check my options. I am young and strong enough to possibly get surgery since I have no cartilage left in my right knee.
Not being able to walk totally sucks! Pain management has been the focus of my every day these past 3 weeks.
What is working for me is Intermittent fasting protocols 16/8, stopping eating when I feel satisfied - not full, and now building my core strength with weight training and some physical therapy for the muscles surrounding my Osteoarthritis parts. I am trying out some new supplements to help support my joints too.
It's a fine balance between gracefully gliding into my version of fun elegant form of mature style inside and out and fighting like hell against aging. It's all about what I eat, what I avoid, how to reduce inflammation and not go crazy feeling deprived as one withdrawals from wanting to eat sugar, milk chocolate, flour, rice, potatoes and drinking alcohol.
I take many supplements that help with inflammation and have been drinking a lot more water these days. It's not easy eating clean during the holidays, and I am having a lot of fun with friends even though I am not as mobile right now.
I hope to make my next weight-loss goal for the Spring Strawberry music festival in May! My 3 year Surgiversary. WE WILL SEE!
