Oh I LOVE Good in Bed! Have you read the sequel, Certain Girls? It's good too... not as much about the weight battle but if you love the character it is a great read as well! I wish Jennifer Weiner would make it an actual series.

"You don't have to say you love me" by Sarra Manning is a good one. I picked it up after reading an article about the authors own weight loss and how it affected her.

TryAmazon UK. You have to create a separate account and the shipping fees are higher coming from across the pond. But I have gotten UK only releases from there before.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
