When did sizes change? - I keep hearing how sizes have changed.  A used-to-be size 12 is now a size 10 or whatever.  Someone who used to wear a size 8 at 140 lbs now finds they can wear a size 4 when they ...

How long did your first stall last? - I'm only 2.5 weeks out and I've been in my first "stall" for about 5 days now. I'm NOT upset though... and I'm totally fine with it.... since I get that they happen to everyone and...

2 weeks out, what did your NUT say? - So I was just going through all my NUT's information and I can't seem to find a recommendation on how many calories I should be consuming.  What did your NUT say? I'm 2 weeks ou...

Dear Stall, I've been expecting you...... with gre - Ok, so I've been around these boards long enough to know that stalls happen and that they're just part of this journey and to ACCEPT them (maybe not quite embrace them) but to let ...

Low carb milk alternative?? - Ok, this is my issue and question......... I'm looking for an alternative to skim milk to mix with my protein shakes.  I don't necessarily like the taste of them when mixed with...

Drain..... drain? - How long did the place where your JP Drain was still kinda ooze or leak out stuff? Not infection kinda stuff... just watered down looking blood.  ??  The area around the incision i...

Lack of support..... kinda a shocker... but I will - So this week after surgery hasn't been the easiest emotionally or mentally for me.  My mom (who has been my best friend for many years) came to stay with me during my recovery time...
