So far I don't feel to bad. I have been taking Tylenol and only get sore when I forget to keep taking it. thanks for the support it really helps. donna

unfortunately, it's a SPACE Issue, there is no space to put one....

I will not have a recliner available to me, as my dad has only one, and needs it. I was thinking of possibly getting foam wedges for under my back and knees. I am living in a motor home at my moms, and has 2 small stairs.. a little concerned about that, but Dr says should be ok. I will be in the hospital overnight anyways... What did you do to prepare for surgery?(LBL)

Donna, You seem depressed. The only way i keep my self from gaining is i get in 2 scoops of protein in my drinks everyday. And i walk almost daily. 3 miles. I eat almost everything but still only can eat small portioons. I stay clear from sweats and most carbs. Since i have stopped drinking beer i seem to be losing again slowly. I am at 145 My husband does not want me to lose anymore. I think the beer keep me from losing to much .I am so glad im clean and sober. I dont want to be to thin. I like being 150 pounds. I am very tall. 5-8.5 . Since i have been married i have also got off my depression meds. So I think that is helping me lose to. You can lose that weight back. Stay off the sweets and get that walking in. shrink that stomach back up. Somedays i eat more than other days. Hugs Barb
