Thanks, all!! I notice that it is getting better daily. However, I am still scared to get into bed with all the moving my hubby does. I have been sleeping comfortably in a recliner for the few nights. Just not ready to try again yet.

Hello, My RYN surgery is scheduled for Dec 10th! I'd love to keep in touch about our progress and support each other!

Hi! That is a great idea that I will have to copy. My surgery is the day before yours - December 10th! My doctor put me on the cabbage soup diet beginning 12/3 - one week prior. I have a closet full of clothes ranging from size 24 down to where I began in size 16. I can't wait to shop my own closet in a few months!!! :-)

I, too, am a recovering sugar addict. In the past, I felt dessert was the natural conclusion to every meal. I know how hard it is to change those habits. I have fallen in love with Atkins Caramel Nut Chew Bars!! They taste like a snickers - Seriously!! Try one and you too will see. Also, experiment with things like…

Oh yeah!! GREAT ADVICE!!! Water! Water! Water! Drinks LOADS of it!!!!

Hi there! I suffer from hypothyroidism too. First, I don't think you are eating enough based on your diary entry from yesterday. Only 700+ calories may not be enough especially when you are working out, too. I have found that cutting carbs helps alot. Perhaps on the days that you don't exercise, eat different/healthier…

I am a 38 DDD and I would recommend the Enell bras! They are awesome but pricey. I have also used sports bras from Lane Bryant - a black front closure bra. I have several of them but they are only sold online. They work!

And, depression has kicked in too. So, I have decided this week to do something. Anything - with the hopes of making some progress. Glad to find a…

I have found that the microwaveable bags of veggies are a great quick lunch. You can buy a variety of bags and just grab one to go along with maybe a microwave minute rice cup.
