I Lost 10lbs in one month since surgery

P44

I’ve just finished my third week of therapy, and it’s been more than a month since my surgery.

I still have lag- that’s what you call the bend in affected knee. It still takes long to complete heel slides and I haven’t progressed to wall slides successfully yet. On the bright side, I am walking faster!

I’ve lost weight since getting injured, around 10 lbs. How? Avoiding carbs and being on an alcohol detox. I’m now down to 95-96 lbs which was my target weight for so long. I could never hit it until now so that’s one good thing to come out of this injury
