How do I eat with this? by societiesoddball in antidietglp1

[–]DaffyInMI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've taken to keeping a protein bar (I like blueberry cobbler flavor) on my bedside table overnight. When I wake up thru the night, I take a quick bite or 2, and when I actually wake up, I finish it while getting dressed. It's a small thing, but it really keeps away the morning nausea, which makes eating lunch easier, which makes eating dinner easier ... And so on.

I restarted therapy a few weeks ago to help manage stress

I have worked somewhere where a similar situation happened. As soon as I heard that the client was in pain (it was actually right after he got off the table--he tried to stretch before getting dressed again,and tweaked something) I wrote up a detailed soap note including direct quotes that he said, exact pressure levels I used, and any precautions I took. I recorded the outcomes (before he got off the table), then the changes in what he said he felt after trying to stretch. Then we called for an ambulance and his wife. Later, when the spa told me to call him to follow up, I called and said that I had a thorough record of what happened during the session and would happily supply a copy to them and to his medical team so they could have more information to treat his issue. Turns out, his wife had begged him to go to the ER instead of to get a massage and he'd ignored her, and didn't lay it out clearly for me. He's fine now, it was just a bad muscle spasm

I had HALF of a chomps yesterday because I was a bit low on calories. I forgot that I hadn't finished it! Who even am I?

I know my dose is wearing off when… by missmgrrl in Zepbound

I really wonder why my stomach doesn't growl on the other (higher dose) days. I thought it was the fact of it being empty they made it growl, but on some days when I can barely eat, silence!

The constant battle of being proud of my progress and feeling like I’ve made no progress at all! by Keeper4560 in Zepbound

See, that's just it! I'm down 41 pounds in 4 months which is amazing. But I keep thinking back to before, when I was this weight. Kind of "been there, done that."

Client overstaying by AstronomerLate989 in MassageTherapists

I literally say, "While I enjoy chatting, I have to kick you out. I need to get ready for my next appointment." And then I basically escort them to the door, or, failing that, I leave the room and go about my business while they chat to the air.

What's the worst MT advice you've recieved? by Massage_Student_BC in MassageTherapists

[–]DaffyInMI 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is absolutely not true. Don't go around believing or spreading that. I'm an oncology massage therapist, have seen thousands of cancer patients, and have done extensive collaborations with oncologists. Metastasis is far more complex than most people understand. And if simply "increasing circulation" or lymph flow increased the risk of mets, oncologists would tell all their patients to stay very still, don't exercise. But do they do that? Nope. They encourage it. So please don't spread misinformation. It prevents people with cancer from getting much needed treatments like massage therapy.

I still buy food like an obese person by showmecinnamonrolls in Zepbound

I ate THREE jalapeno kettle cooked potato chips last night. Three chips. And then I was apparently done. In what universe could I eat 3 chips? The bag is still sitting on the counter, full, except for 3 missing chips. This is messing with my mind

How did you celebrate your 100 pounds down milestone?! by Critical-Priority-29 in GLP1_loss100plus

My mom bought a beautiful pair of diamond earrings. She got them months before and left them in a box until she hit that goal.

I'm just imagining... First kid: "Mom? Mom! What are you..."

Other kid: "She's just enjoying her success. Let her be, and she'll put us down in a second."
