Jdth,
It's good to hear you've improved and are not so depressed. It's easy to get down when you don't feel right.

What food have you found that you enjoy post TKR? After my last one in '23, chicken noodle soup hit the spot. Other things looked good but I found I'd take one bite and get turned off. Rich things were a no-go for a long time. I lost some needed pounds, but it's not a happy way to do it, is it?

I have balance issues so am using a rollator anyway.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels hungry but then just can’t eat. Yesterday I sent my husband for a flatbread with chicken and avacado. It tasted fresh. I’m craving mashed potatoes. He’s not a cook and thought a ham sandwich every day would be ok!!! I Jace tried to cook a bit, but I’m just not motivated do much. That’s what concerns me: I’m usually a go-getter. My PT says I’m expecting too much too soon. Thank you for commiserating!
