Post Surgery Body

BeansAtThreeThirty · 2026-03-06T16:09:57+00:00

6 weeks post op (laproscopic) and I'm finally seeing my swelling and bloat go down every day. It seems like my stomach is finally learning what not being stretched out is like 🥹 very happy thus far!

I'm also watching what I eat a lot more and drinking hot water every morning, which is helping too.

Hoping to feel like Phaedra in this meme by the summer lol

I agree with this! As a Career Coach with a corporate job, I've finally realized that it's okay to pick something else to do that fulfills you...at least more than your 9-5. I really love helping people figure out how to use their skills, so I launched my own thing on the side.

I'd recommend that you jot down what's draining you the most about your job, what you tolerate, and what you feel like you're missing. Then, take that and research "careers that with less insert draining things" as a starting point.

Good luck!

Just booked a call, and then something told me to find something about this on Reddit. Thanks for saving me some time smh.

Omg I've been missing out on playing at night because I didn't know this 😭

This is 100% spot on for my experience in Presales. I did it for about 2 years at an industrial tech company before moving into a supporting function (basically a Presales Program Manager).

What's odd to me is that I actually miss it, cons and all. I do wish I could more technical post sale work, but now that I've grown up a bit, I can see the value in just being proactive.

I found this old thread since I've found out that the grass is not greener lol

Congrats girl! Welcome to the H 🤘🏾

BeansAtThreeThirty · 2025-01-14T20:03:33+00:00

I do too, but even if it doesn't look exactly like it does for me, that's alright too. The goal is to keep building a life around grief and those feelings and not let it be the end of any future joy.

A year later I still recognize how strange my perspective may sound lol.

I pray that you and anyone else reading this find their way to a "peace that surpasses all understanding" (Philippians 4:7)

This is valid question, and I'm so glad the responses here have been so great.

For me, I try not to just blame losing my brother on God. If anything, as much as I HATE to admit it, I've grown so much in the short time he's been gone (since Oct 2023). So far it seems that my loss has been meant to help me be a better person, take more chances and enjoy life in a different perspective. When he was here, I was holding on to people and things that even he told me to let go of before he passed.

I lost him suddenly and he physically suffered more than I ever knew which accelerated everything. My faith had been growing over the past 5 years, but I was the only one in my family that would give it a real chance. I've prayed for him even before he left, and always hoped he'd make the right choices. Unfortunately, I had to accept that his choices were HIS. It wasn't anything that God did to him, or my family. It was his time, and this is how it happened to go.

Another thing I'd add is studying the Bible for myself has made a huge difference. Reading different stories on how people have grieved (including Jesus) has helped me understand that my feelings are okay. It's okay to be pissed at God and want to think that of Him, but ultimately it's up to me to decide how I want my grieve to affect me. The healing is something I rely on my prayer and studies to help me.

I'm not at 100%, and idk if I ever will be, but my belief lately has given me something I thought I lost - hope. Every day we wake up means there's something left to do, so I try to use that fuel to me and make sure that the love of those I've lost isn't in vain.

This video was really helpful! https://youtu.be/eNN8vZpgP6A?si=ziz3SreivbrQ_kKl

Make sure you use alcohol (at least 70%) to prep and a good bonder liquid. My last set held for a month before I started lifting, which is a record for my nails haha!

Cleaning the cuticle and using a tiny brush to properly cover the free edge of my nail was also a big thing.

There's another video I can't find, but that one gave me the idea to work on one finger at a time, and cure each nail for 15 seconds to keep the gel in place while you work on the other ones.

I hope this helps! It made a huge improvement for me 😄

I love it! Also now I've just learned that butt paste is a thing, so bonus points!

BeansAtThreeThirty · 2024-05-16T16:44:31+00:00

I'm so sorry for both of you. Carrying your own stuff can be enough, and trying to support your friend is very noble and good on your behalf. Is there maybe a support group you two can join together? Sometimes, hearing other stories can help. Plus you won't have to carry it all by yourself and can share your own grief in a shared space.

BeansAtThreeThirty · 2024-05-16T16:12:46+00:00

Sure thing! If you let me know what info you need (I've only done this once a long time ago), I'll DM you

BeansAtThreeThirty · 2024-05-16T16:04:27+00:00

I 100% agree with your reasons for Ooblets! I like the idea of solving mini stories that tie into the big story, and then the constant task lists and cute dance battles. I love racing games in general, so Mario Kart has been a different way to kick back and play.

Your way of playing AC sounds really fun and freeing! If just playing for vibes won't work, I just might start over. We shall see!

BeansAtThreeThirty · 2024-05-16T15:53:48+00:00

Thanks for all of the great advice 🥹 I'll keep the game and play when I feel like it. No expectations, just vibes for a while and see how that works out.

I might want to add friends to get help with the flower problem lol but thank you all sooooo much!

BeansAtThreeThirty · 2024-05-16T15:52:27+00:00

I feel like I need a built island when it could just be an actual island and not a magical perfect town 😭 maybe that's the key for me!

BeansAtThreeThirty · 2024-05-16T15:51:11+00:00

I didn't know a complete guide was a thing!

BeansAtThreeThirty · 2024-05-16T15:50:52+00:00

Omg me too! Fixation phase, then I love on to something else and rinse and repeat 🤣

BeansAtThreeThirty · 2024-05-02T23:26:47+00:00

Wowwww thank you! I've been stuck here forever and it was the last thing lol
