lost in ky

[feastorfamine]

I am new to this site and have no online friends. I need help. I did great the first 5 years with my rny but gradually got off track and now my weight is 205. I am 65 with bad knees so walking is not and option. I do have the option of wsimming. It is a 23 miled drive to town and someone else has to drive. I am determined to lose this weight but I can not do it alone.patti

Patti-well it sounds like you are interested in continuing your weight loss and that is great. My RNY will be next month and I also face challenges similar to yours. The only exercises I am able to do are stretching and resistance band exercises while sitting in a chair. I have several physical disabilities one of which is I need a total hip replacement. Walking (with a walker) and even doing light housework is very painful. I just take things a day at a time and do what I can and try not to get stressed out. I also need help with some things, and as I'm sure you know, help isn't always available when you need it. Just keep trying and make sure to come back to this forum for support. Please keep us posted on how you are doing.

you are not lecturing me and I respect what you are saying. The hardest part is just getting theright mindset. It is like when you stop smoking and everyone in the family continues to smoke. Not a particularly good analogy but it fits the bill........patti
