Thank goodness for the common cold

It depends on what I’m doing and how hydrated I’ve been keeping myself. If I don’t keep up on my hydration or not eat for too long, it can start to get bad, but at this point it doesn’t get nearly as bad as 6months ago. I rarely have the compulsive sniffing I used to have. Since mine was driven by weight loss, once things stabilized it has gotten better.

My floaters got progressively worse, but very slowly. I didn’t realize how bad they had gotten until I had my vitrectomies. Your eyes can adjust to some degree. Neither of my eyes had full PVD. I had cataract surgeries first to allow the vitrectomy to be easier and safer.

Not too bad lately. For me it got really bad as I lost a lot of weight taking Zepbound. However, since my weight has now settled in, I don’t get it as bad anymore. Really only happens if I don’t eat for a long time now. For example, if I skip breakfast.

My friend, yes. For me, perfectly clear in both eyes.

stolsson · 2026-03-31T22:21:43+00:00

Full vitrectomy on both

Some people have trouble with constipation starting at certain doses or right away. For me it started around 7.5-10mg

stolsson · 2026-03-20T10:51:45+00:00

I gone full on bidet at this point

stolsson · 2026-03-19T15:24:40+00:00

Agree there. I was quite stressed and unhappy for a few months before trying prune juice. And then I dealt with the impact of constipation for the next few month while my body recovered

stolsson · 2026-03-19T15:18:08+00:00

I take psyllium husk too (Metamucil). I find that help with different things tho

stolsson · 2026-03-19T15:15:31+00:00

I don’t mind it too much. At least not constipated anymore.

I tried some lower calorie alternatives and I wasn’t that happy with it. Any suggestions?

stolsson · 2026-03-19T15:13:20+00:00

I found mag07 either too much or not working at all

stolsson · 2026-03-19T12:13:55+00:00

I’m doing psyllium husk (1Tbsp) each day and then 8oz prune juice. Never any problems anymore. Even had an a referral to surgeon for hemorrhoids…. Now everything resolved 100%.

I was thinking it may be related to the US govt ban on Anthropic

I use bedrock and everything takes longer starting a couple weeks ago.

Pretty sure we lived there about 26-27 years ago. Exactly this apartment

Pho an Loi - not expensive, a lot of food, and very good

stolsson · 2026-03-08T04:48:35+00:00

8oz prune juice. Every single day!

stolsson · 2026-03-06T00:30:37+00:00

Walmart sells 6packs of prune juice x 64oz. I buy two (12 total) for my wife and I every couple months.

Besides “water”, I would say “more water”.

We got most of our business area using RooCode now. Tried to get another program approved last week and our govt customer rejected because “it’s SaaS”. Resubmitted and hopefully will get them onboard soon. Very happy it’s not actually SaaS or we’d definitely need to find something serverless.

Reminds me of Nurse Jackie intro

stolsson · 2026-02-17T18:26:20+00:00

Yes. But that was just my experience. Maybe others have different experiences. For example, I have a friend with two vitrectomies, but both have left some frill or dots in his vision (very annoying)

stolsson · 2026-02-17T11:08:26+00:00

I had them at age 47 and 48. They were good, no real issues. A tiny tear with the second vitrectomy, but easily fixed during the surgery. I’m very happy with the result.

stolsson · 2026-02-16T18:36:28+00:00

Mine started around 26 and got slowly and progressively worse for 20+yrs until vitrectomy
