Headaches, congestion, runny nose, my one son even had a fever, sore throat. Feeling like complete crud, but never actually getting sick. It's caused by snow mold and dust here.

She has lost 225 pounds and is struggling with an identity crisis. I always thought about what I would do with myself once I lost the weight and didn't have to focus on it anymore. The sad truth is that it will always be something I have to focus on, if I want to remain fit and healthy.

At least, it sounds like the same woman. In the article I read, she sounded very negative about the whole experience of WLS, and like she still didn't like herself very much.

You have to know how to use the tool ahead of time and how it is going to work for you before you can begin to use it. I had lap-band surgery 8 years ago and would do it all over again if I had to. I lost 120 lbs. I tried Weight Watchers; worked with a dietician and even tried prescription weightloss drugsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10787598214973987592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-53070763848009528172013-04-26T21:59:34.217-04:002013-04-26T21:59:34.217-04:00With the sore throat thing happening only at night...With the sore throat thing happening only at night, I'm guessing it could have to do with an allegic reaction you are having to something. Possibly the washing powder you are using on your pillow casings and sheets? Try using a different one. Could me a number of things in the room too. If it's only happening at night and in that bed, then chances are this is what's going on. Hope Richardhttp://fatburnhelp.comnoreply@blogger.com
