And I'm absolutely sure that some compliance has been better than none for our health. I do think we can do better and it would probably be easier just to stay compliant. I like the idea of doing mostly MWL and cheating with Regular plan on special occasions. So that's where my head is and I hope you find your own healthy doable space. You are wonderful Buns and if everyone in the world were like you this would be a much better place to be!

I too really enjoy and appreciate simple food and simple meals. I am SUCH a volume eater - I just feel so much more in control when I keep it really simple. So here's to a fridge full of baked potatoes & sweet potatoes!!!!
When is your next surgery?

First, want to wish you the best with your upcoming knee surgery. Please let us know how you are doing... Hoping it is easier than your other knee as you know what is coming, etc.
Then, I am no good at this... but want you to consider the standard Mark Cooper feedback about being kind to yourself... Just check out any of his threads. Super hard to move from point A to point B if you are feeling down on yourself... Try to not be harsh...
You have all the right foods and can do all the right things!!!
Best,
Stephanie

I hear you about being more kind to myself. If I was not me, I wouldn't hang out with me, because I call me names and get mad at me too easy. At some point you have to figure: I've been there, done that. Why hang out in the frustrations and anger of the past? Get going from HERE ON, right?
Tomorrow I have my three month appointment with the doc who did the first knee. I'll get x-rays and probably talk about how I'm doing which is okay. I don't like how weak/painish it feels and I may not look great walking, due to the other knee hurting like it does. The surgical team at the hospital took me off the anti-inflammatory last Friday and I can tell that they work by how bad both knees feel now that I'm not taking it. They're concerned about blood thinning. don't want me bleeding out inside my new knee joint. So I'm just a little worried that I might walk weird while showing the surgeon how lovely things are now that I've had this done.
Goals: walking without a limp by six weeks. Using just one crutch by four weeks. ??? Good ROM by four weeks? six weeks? off opioids by eight weeks? six weeks? I'll play it somewhat by ear but also do want something to aim for
gonna bake a 10# of potatoes on Thursday. Last part of my big food prep
