I cracked a rib last week from fainting when I was sick and dehydrated. Now I'm on pain meds and just laying around. I've been doing good since I had my surgery in Aug I've lost 60 lbs. Today I grazed all day for the first time and it scared me. I don't want to revert back to old ways. Support needed please!!

I just sleep. it sounds lazy but when I was sick I would just sleep as much as I can. I'd rather do that than eat.

another weird trick (works for me at least) brushing my teeth often. I think it's because I hate the taste of toothpaste and food so it helps.

nothing scientific, just my 2 cents.

good luck!

and force yourself to drink that Water :-)

I do the brushing my teeth thing too. But that's because the floride makes me feel funny and I can't eat because of it.

I cracked a rib last week Sunday! I had a hysterectomy 2 weeks prior to that and tripped on a load of laundry. I was counting the days left after having my hysterectomy to being able to exercise and now this! Now I added a few more weeks to my recovery, so I definitely know how you feel! I don't take pain meds, but I think if I did I would prefer to sleep the weeks away. Lol... A lot of Water seems to help me. I'm not extremely hungry because I'm kind of nauseous from the pain. I've been reading and on my I pad a lot to distract me. I have also went through my old bills and shredded things I no longer have to save. I think keeping your mind and hands busy is important! We can get through this, it's just a hiccup! Good Luck!

I've been reading and knitting maybe I'll put a before pic on the fridge to remind me of my goal. Thanks I hope you feel better too.
