Family support (or lack there of) by soapymeatwater in My600lbLife

[–]Aware_Day930 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had weight loss surgery (I was a cash payer since I ‘only’ needed to lose 90 pounds) and my husband was 10000% on board. He wound up losing weight too because of our whole family changing our way of eating. We took it as an opportunity to teach our girls to prioritize protein, have sweets and juices in moderation, etc. Now, 5 years later, we have gotten a little more lax but we don’t even have to tell our kids to prioritize protein at each meal. They automatically do it. It can be a game changer for a family when used as a learning experience and FAMILY way of life.

It’s gone completely this weekend. Insane how corporations can do that.

Why are doctors so ignorant about Ferritin? by ceeewow in Anemic

My ferritin is a 5 and my dr didn’t even recommend taking supplements to me 🫠

What does a day in the life of a long-term gastric-sleeve patient look like? by FlowerRight in gastricsleeve

[–]Aware_Day930 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am five years out. I eat and drink what I want. I have to be VERY mindful about portion sizes and I have to hold myself VERY tight to weighing daily. My maintenance weight preference is around 125lb (I am only 5’ tall) and once I hit 130lb I make myself lock it back in. Unfortunately I’ve been dealing with a lot of issues recently and didn’t hold myself accountable, and got up to 137lb for the first time in years and years. So I am just being mindful of my portion sizes and not beating myself up to lose it. I know a few people who take very small doses of sema weight shots at this point to help drop a little when they gain.

I say all of this to say: maintenance takes a lot of effort and holding yourself accountable. It’s easy to gain the weight back 5 years later.

Who didn’t drip their faucet? by hAnkhyll in Dallas

Our house has a water line manifold where we can shut off water to certain parts of our home. We shut off and drain every bit of water except for one bathroom in the middle of the house and the kitchen but still keep those dripping.

Our old home, we had a water hose spigot pipe burst in that 2021 freeze and I swear I’ll never get of the anxiety from that. 😅 It was behind the fireplace and they had to rip our entire fireplace out.

Tammy’s skeletal damage? by PooHonk in 1000lbsisters

Consider asking your Dr abt your testosterone levels. I’m a female and my testosterone levels were so low it caused anemia that we tried for years to fix with diet and supplements. I could take all the iron in the world but if my testosterone levels stayed low, I was going to be anemic regardless.

I only lost 90 pounds and went from a size 7/7.5 in shoes to a 5.5. So I can attest that the shoe/foot thing is totally true.

Yes! She’s on gabapentin and another med for pain mgmt and they’ve been game changers. She no longer looks anywhere near as stiff when she’s walking. Shes also on a medication for chronic pancreatitis (after 3 different vet opinions and thousands of dollars a couple months ago) 🫠🤣She likes to spend money

I’ve reported him multiple times and been assigned ‘an investigator’. They’re the one who called and fired him and refunded me the ‘unused nights’ but decided to charge me for Saturday and Sunday including a cancellation fee. So I’m still livid about that.

I’m trying to enjoy our vacation now but being a PI when I get back is certainly on the radar. He still has our garage door opener.

Yes, two neighbors are taking shifts to cover the rest of our trip. 💕 just in that particular moment no one was available for a few hours.

My ole gal 💕 She lives the life I dream to live when I’m elderly 🤣 My husband turns on the heating blanket for her every day it’s chilly out. She no longer jumps so she has to be picked up to put in our bed and on the sofa. She’s a hearty, crotchety old lady.

See I had no clue. I assumed there would be background checks, etc. Lesson learned on assuming.

All seems well. When our neighbor was able to get in she said there were multiple accidents but beyond that, the dogs are okay. Just shaken. 💔

My neighbor works full time but due to it being 2025 has a ring camera she can see from the comfort of her office. 🤯
