All I want for Christmas is knee cartilage...

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! 


I WISH YOU ALL A VERY 
HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON!
