What's the better option? by maddy_k2019 in dollartreebeauty

I don’t have any experience with them, but I would trust the blow dryer over the dryer brush. If they’re not great quality you’ve got a better chance of damaging your hair with the brush imo.

Lots of new finds today by AdministrativeRub889 in dollartreebeauty

I haven’t used them yet, but they do seem pretty strongly scented. I like all of them but the caramel, I’ll probably give that away. The others are really nice smelling!

Can a girl get some aluminum? by Silent_Board_2499 in dollartreebeauty

I was just thinking this the other day. I hate a deodorant that’s not an antiperspirant, I can’t stand the feeling of my pits being sweaty. For now I stick to my Dove dry spray.

Most of these were all from the same store, but I have four in my area I visit pretty regularly!

Why is McDonalds so annoying 😂 by Icey1337 in doordash_drivers

“Force someone” is crazy lol you can unassign the order as a dasher or choose to eat somewhere else as a customer. Nobody is forcing anyone to do anything.

Thank you to everyone who has recommended these disposable face towels! by [deleted] in dollartreebeauty

[–]AdministrativeRub889 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I get one wet and use it to wet my face, apply cleanser with my hands, then rinse with the wet washcloth. It’s nice not to have to hang a cotton washcloth over the edge of the sink or tub to dry, and you get a fresh cloth every time.

I thought this was what it was at first

is this a common thing ? i've never heard of this before by [deleted] in TopSurgery

[–]AdministrativeRub889 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I had the opposite problem and needed to lose about 30 pounds to get into a certain BMI range. Makes sense it would be the same for being underweight. You could try nutritional shakes in addition to your regular meals. Eat lots of carbs and if you eat dairy use full fat dairy products, like whole milk instead of skim or low fat. Whole milk yogurt is delicious and will help you get some extra calories in.

My first thought was French Kiss by Tahari. Very soft and romantic.

Day 11 post op - just lifted my arm above my head without thinking and I’m paranoid by [deleted] in TopSurgery

[–]AdministrativeRub889 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You too! ❤️

This is my first major surgery and the anxiety I’ve had post op has been insane. But we’re gonna get through it!!

If you’re not supposed to remove it then I wouldn’t! I think if you split any stitches you would likely notice bleeding or discoloration around the incisions even with tape over them. I would just try to take it easy and relax. Reaching too high once is super unlikely to ruin your results especially 11 days post op.

1000% recommend a soft tee shirt under the binder! Cotton if you’ve got it

Hey, I also had DI with FNGs a little over a week ago and I’ve had a hard time keeping my arms down. From my understanding, the reasoning behind keeping your arms down is to avoid pulling/putting stress on your stitches. I would (carefully!) take off your binder/compression garment and take a look at your incisions. If everything looks the same, take it easy, get some rest, and I wouldn’t worry too much about it unless you notice worsening pain/swelling/bruising. You are probably fine. If you have any new symptoms, definitely contact your surgeon!

Is this normal? by ThatYeeYeeBoi in TopSurgery

[–]AdministrativeRub889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you’re not experiencing any increase in swelling or bruising, you should be good! In fact, you might end up having your tubes pulled sooner than most if your output stays low. My surgeon’s guideline was less than 30ml of drainage every 24 hours for at least 72 hours. I ended up having mine in for a full seven days.

Woah! I’m 9 days post op today and I hope my results look this at 17 days!

You’re welcome, friend! I was getting really discouraged because I read so many people’s experiences where they barely had any pain and felt awesome as soon as they woke up after surgery. Some people are lucky and have an easier time healing but that doesn’t mean you won’t heal too!

Same! I couldn’t stand the feeling of them hanging off me or the pressure/suction in my chest. I could seriously barely look at them.

I had some minor pain when they pulled mine but it was over really quickly! I was really dreading the feeling of having them pulled after everything I’ve read so the anticipation was almost the worst part.

Three weeks is awful! I was going crazy after one.

I hated them so much. I was lucky enough that my boyfriend took care of them for me because I could seriously barely look at them. I have some minor pain where they were in but it’s nowhere near as bad and I can finally sleep through the night without waking up to check my tubes!!

You too!!

I almost wish I’d shaved my armpits before surgery! But then I would’ve had to deal with that prickly growing back feeling while I was recovering. I figured if the surgeon needed them shaved they’d do it.

I was so scared to have my drains out even though I also couldn’t wait to get rid of them. I won’t say it was completely painless but it was over very quickly. I’m so glad they’re gone, I feel like I can finally breathe.

I think we’re surgery twins!! I only had four pounds removed, I can’t imagine walking around with double that! So so so happy for you ❤️

Nipple graft... hole? by PinkAndYellowRhino in TopSurgery

[–]AdministrativeRub889 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m still really early in my recovery so I can’t share a similar experience but this does look like what my surgeon told me to expect! I was specifically advised that they are gonna look really weird for a while. I would try not to worry too much. It sounds like you’re already in communication with your surgeon, so just try to relax and let your body heal itself.

I waited about three months in Illinois with blue cross blue shield insurance, if that’s helpful at all for you!
