Today is the third day in a row of a nagging headache. I don't usually have headaches. It took me three days to realize what was going on.

The pain starts in my shoulders and neck, and comes up and around the back of my head. Oh, yeah, that's right, a stress headache.

In a twisted kind of way I take a stress headache as an NSV. I never used to get them. And I bet I wouldn't have one now if I could go to my kitchen and graze. I can simulate grazing, but it's only a nibble. I can't reach that mindless state of carb and fat laden fullness any more.

So, I must find a way to cope. I've lost my drug. This headache is a sort of withdrawal. I don't like the headache, but I am amused by it.

So, here I am, trying to keep busy, trying to dispel the stress another way.

I'll be up late if anyone wants to talk.

I'm stressed and want to eat, too. My problem is I can... lol :P

Luckily I have scientific chores to complete tonight, so I can be listed as a co-author on my sweetie's next paper. ;)

Ryan, time to resort to the feminine ways of relieving stress...

I know you're hanging on every word now... :D

Run yourself a tub full of hot Water and put in some bubble bath or soaking salts or something, and lean back for a nice long soak. You may want to try a little moisturizer massaged onto your face, paying particular attention to your temples. Use that slow, sensuous, hypnotizing touch I for some reason KNOW you have... ;) Maybe even light some scented candles and put on some soothing music.

Sigh... Wow, I feel better already... :D

Thanks for the psychic sandwich, Jack! Yum....

I'll take a bath with you guys anytime... lol :devious

I'm cured!! :banana

The bad news is... Sweetie doesn't get back until 1/16... "Flying Solo" takes on a whole different meaning sometimes... :guess

I did NOT just say that! :rolleyes

I guess I'm going to have to add a disclaimer to my sig line like DeLarla has... ;) What's "said" at LBT, STAYS at LBT! ROTFLMAO :speechles

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
