Oprah Winfrey’s journeyto success is a testament to resilience and determination.
One of these hurdles Winfrey overcame was her double knee surgery.
She underwent the first in August 2021 and the second in November of that year.
“As I was rehabilitating, I started hiking.
Every day, I tried to hike more and do more.
My appreciation for every organ and every limb has expanded exponentially,” she explained [viaPeople].
While the operations may have been a success, the actor has faced other challenges with her health.
Luckily, Winfrey has not allowed any of them to keep her down.
Most people lose weight.
I didn’t."
Most people gain weight.
In actuality, Winfrey’s thyroid problems were at the root of her racing heartbeat.
Unfortunately, she consulted with five physicians, who only prescribed Winfrey pills without acknowledging her thyroid disorder.
It was a thyroid problem that was causing the heart palpitations," she explained to the outlet.
When explaining her decision to use prescription drugs, Winfrey pointed to the intense chatter surrounding her body.
“It was public sport to make fun of me for 25 years.
I have been blamed and shamed, and I blamed and shamed myself,” she shared.
Winfrey is not only depending on her doctors to keep the pounds away.
She has made several diet adjustments, such as consuming more fruits and veggies.
