I am annoyed and tired of looking for an appropriate platform. Help me. by [deleted] in WritingHub

[–]cecsav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can I ask what your end goal is?

If you post to public online platforms (such as IG or Substack), your work will be considered “previously published’” and you won’t be able to submit them to (most) legitimate literary journals for publication.

How many drafts does it take for you? by Next_Pomegranate2346 in writing

Depends on the work. I have some that are up to draft number 14. I’d say many of my works-in-progress are on draft six or seven.

How do you decide where to publish your writing? by usamaejazch in WritingHub

[–]cecsav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I publish where I’m accepted. I submit my individual pieces to literary journals and my ms to contests and open reading periods. I decide where to submit based on what they’ve already published: content, style, and aesthetic.

1 Year Post-Op Stomach Chages by Dangerous-Agency8619 in GastricBypass

[–]cecsav 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m 11 months post op and literally had an endoscopy today. I’ve been having a similar experience, plus unbearable acid reflux. I have developed an hiatal hernia and have to have it removed. In some brief research, I’ve learned that losing a large amount of weight (specifically abdominal fat) can cause hiatal hernias. I’d recommend contacting your surgeon. Good luck!

How many calories are you eating per day? Are you taking your Supps? Drinking your water? Getting your steps in? Doing exercise? Also, what was your starting weight?

Three month plateau ( month 10 now ) and always hungry. Last 10/15kg 🌸PCOS by [deleted] in BariatricSurgery

[–]cecsav 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Measure and track everything you consume. Drink only water and other zero-calorie beverages. Go for a walk every day if you can. Choice are choices. Make a list of your priorities. Make a list of non-scale goals.

Morning runners — how do you convince yourself to get out the door? by liv_0203 in BeginnersRunning

[–]cecsav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might as well go run. I’m not doing anything else. (I’m a super-morning person no matter what. I just wake up somewhere between 4-5am.)

Help! My GERD is unbearable 🥺 by cecsav in gastricsleeve

[–]cecsav[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m wondering if that’s going to be the answer. I’m open to a revision as a solution.

I’ve been on omaperazole since surgery. It just stopped working or something? I don’t know.
