    food - has this happened to anyone else?

    Hi, I have just restarted SS after gaining all my weight and more:cry: Just like last time, I have become obsessed with food. Not for me but for others. I spend hours cooking for the family and actually enjoy going to the supermarket. Before starting the diet I would have said I would have...

    OMG Why is it so hard to re-start

    I think restarts are hard because we know how difficult the diet can be at times, especially the first few days. I have restarted today for the 3rd time after gaining all my weight and a bit more :cry: This will be my last go - hopefully 3rd time lucky! I need to lose 6 stones and have a special...

    local anesthetic and SS

    Thanks for the replies. My CDC had a reply from the medical staff at Cambridge that said I should step up a week before to ensure that I wasn't in ketosis and not return to SS until everything was properly healed.

    Anyone with underactive thyroid?

    I'm on 150mcg too and SS'ing. Used to take 200mcg but after losing a couple of stone the dosage was lowered. Hopefully, I might be able to drop further still. Been on thyroxine for 17 years now (starting dose was 50mcg). Dr said mine was linked to childbirth.
