At least not just me

I have had that feeling come and go a few times and it was very weird.

It comes off and on...first thing in morning and late night is most times of day.

Anyone having problems with ears? It is really weird...can't really explain it. Antibiotics from Dr didn't help...netti pot...ear flushing...drops to dry out...tried everything. They are muffled...feels I have been out in cold wind. Has been since sugery. Probably not related..

I am wondering if this is a symptom of dehydration and/or electrolyte imbalance. Or perhaps an allergy? Maybe you should go see your primary care doc if it is continuing to be a problem for you.

Interesting. I have the same problem. I thought I was just weird. For me it is when I don't get enough water. Once I am fully hydrated it goes away.

I am 2 months po today!

I've lost just about 50 lbs--- sad thing is u can't tell! I was 319 now I'm 268.2! I can tell a LITTLE on my face in person and a LIL on my upper tummy--- it's hard to have lost that much but not look like it!

Today is 2 months po for me too. I've not lost quite as much as you but understand the bit of frustration over the loss not really showing. My clothes are a bit looser but still wearing most of them. I went from 295 to 253 so 42 pounds. I see a bit less in my upper belly and my arms and thighs.

Have you taken your measurements? You look a lot smaller to me, especially from the back. Remember too, you've only just started your journey.

Thanks.. I haven't measured- I can wear a few clothes that I couldn't I guess I'm worried too that I'm not losing fat just muscle or something!

You seem to be going great! Congrats!
