  • Sorry, posted too soon! I was going to add I actually have been on a year long plateau, and gained about 10 lbs back from the 30 I lost when my gallbladder was wreaking havoc with my stomach. I've lost 6 pounds since my surgery and my energy level is better. I have to wait a month to get back to exercising but I'm hopeful…
  • Hi: I had my gallbladder removed laproscopically about 2 weeks ago after suffering with attacks off/on for over 10 years. I feel so much better! The month before surgery, no matter what I ate, I got nauseous. I had 8 stones, 6 about 2cm in diameter. Your body still produces bile as SueinAZ wrote; her description is what my…
  • Thank you SRMAGGIEMAY! I've never heard of the insoles you mention, but it makes sense. Do you know the brand? :happy:

  • Thank you nam985! I did go to a running shop nearby and they were really great and patient and HONEST! I spent about 90 minutes trying on shoes, the sales lady watching me walk. End result, I walked out empty handed as the sales lady was honest and told me she didn't like the way I walked in any of the ones I tried. She…
  • Thank you as well Mostly Water! I did not think about the support advantage for cross trainers. There is a New Balance outlet an hour or so from where I live and was told they have a good selection. Thank you for another option! I'll be busy this weekend!:laugh:
  • Thanks for the advice Cherimoose! Oddly my arches don't hurt on a regular basis. When I try on sneakers is when my right arch hurts. During the day, I wear Easy Spririt and on the weekends I wear Merrell. Most of my shoes are slides. I loved the LL Bean Comfort Slides but they don't make them right now. I'll check out the…
