I was 76 years old when I had the TKR. I was exhausted for a few months after the surgery and lost my appetite for the first time in my life. I lost about 11 or 12 pounds.

I was 71 years old when I had my TKR Feb. 2023. I too lost 15 pounds. Never before lost my appetite for food but I did. I had tried for years to lose weight and was kind of excited about losing this weight which I kept off for about 9 months and then rediscovered my enjoyment of food and have regained about 75% back. In April I broke my femur and so far my appetite hasn't been as affected eventhough my portions are smaller but my weight hasn't changed too much . . .kind of strange.
