Sinus drainage
Has anyone else experienced sinus drainage issues since having surgery? Mine have been creeping up on me over time but lately, they're crazy. Granted, I live in the deep south of the U.S., and it's more or less open season on anyone who is sensitive to allergens, but I've never experienced problems like this before. I'm…

Stomach spasms
So I landed myself in the ER yesterday with what they could only guess was some type of stomach spasms. Basically, it felt like a sharp stabbing pain just underneath my left rib cage that was steady at first but then eventually started coming in cycles. I have a pretty high threshold for pain, and while it wasn't the worst…

Slowing Down
I will be 8 months out on Saturday and my weight loss has started slowing down. I know this is normal, and I'm not freaked out by it (only a little annoyed since I'm still 33 lbs. from my goal). However, I am looking for ways to change things up a bit so my metabolism doesn't slow too much. Currently, I walk/run 4-6 miles…

Very much a SV!
I have lost 51 lbs. since my 5-day pre-op clear liquids diet (starting on 2/11/15), and I just got under 200 lbs. for the first time since 1999. I will likely fluctuate back up a lb. or so here or there, so I think I'll just stay off the scale for a week. :smiley: Anyway, I was excited enough to jump on here to post. Just…
