Topic: RE: Super dizzy

My BP was low as a pre-op. It's lower now as my normal. I salt my food pretty shamelessly to keep from feeling dizzy or faint.

Topic: RE: Diarrhea at least five times a day, what can I take to stop it?!?

I hope you're getting some relief by now. Immodium does wonders if something is "off," but I found that calcium and probiotics are the winning combination long-term.

My has M.S and is mobility chair bound, and can not move very fast at all. He was having constant diarrea. It was a complete nightmare as his wife and caregiver. Finally we told his doctor about it. He perscribed One Imodium, once a day, at the same time. It has been a complete game changer. We both finally have our lives back. He has been doing this method know for almost two years. No side effects, what so ever. He only goes number two every three to four days. Maybe a bit less than a normal person, but it works for him. We get the generic form. Ask your doctor about it. God bless.....

Topic: RE: DS 15 years ago. Heart pain?

If you've been having heart or chest pain for an extended period, I would suggest you get checked immediately by your doctor. If it gets worse go to the emergency room.

Topic: DS 15 years ago. Heart pain?
I had my D.S 15 years ago, and about four days ago I started having heart pain. It is all the time and doesnt go away. I do get iron infusions two to three times a year, the last one being about a month ago. My bariatric doctor has since passed. Anyone experience this? Any ideas. I do wonder if its a protein issue. Im not good about doing my protein.

Topic: RE: Deactivated and Started another

GeoGuessr Free

To regain some sense of control, I deactivated my account and created a new one. I'm still hoping that once the account is fully deactivated, it will eventually stop showing up in Google search results. It's frustrating that something as simple as trusting a privacy setting can result in such a big invasion of personal space. I truly hope the platform addresses this kind of issue better in the future.

Topic: RE: Amuse me-playing the waiting game!

As for my DS journey, I started at 320 lbs. In the first year, my monthly weight loss varied a lot, but here's a rough breakdown:

  • Month 1-3: Around 20-25 lbs per month (the rapid drop stage!)

  • Month 4-6: Slowed to 10-15 lbs per month Geometry Dash

  • Month 7-12: More like 5-10 lbs a month as my body adjusted

By the end of my first year, I had lost about 160 lbs total. It wasn't linear--there were stalls and fluctuations--but it was steady progress. And even though we all lose at different rates, it's totally okay to imagine your future and set goals. Dreaming is part of the process and keeps us going when things feel slow.

Absolutely do not abuse too many drugs with the same effect in one day. Because their different medicinal properties may not be compatible with each other. You should first drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration.

Really interesting concept! A pill that mimics gastric bypass for 24 hours without surgery could be a game-changer in weight loss treatment. Curious to see how it performs in larger human trials
