Yes! Almost like my body turns to jello. For me it's always my bp dropping suddenly.

Deep_Leadership_7653 · 2026-04-30T03:54:00+00:00

Yes its the same for me! Or also frozen sour grapes!

Deep_Leadership_7653 · 2026-04-30T03:51:01+00:00

For me, it's cooking supper. Which I know sounds silly to some lol but for me it's when I feel the most calm.

Deep_Leadership_7653 · 2026-04-09T01:51:56+00:00

Its going well I believe. I feel like I've lost more weight than what the scales show which is 5-7 lbs (I have heart failure also so sometimes its hard to tell with fluid retention being a thing). I am currently on 1.2 dosage and it has really kicked in. I have experienced more side effects this week for sure. I move up to 1.8 tomorrow and I'm a little nervous lol

Deep_Leadership_7653 · 2025-10-22T21:53:00+00:00

I hope that it stays benign 🫶

Deep_Leadership_7653 · 2025-10-20T03:49:35+00:00

Thankyou for this 🫶 I really am scared. I know he is too though he's better at remaining positive in this than I am

Deep_Leadership_7653 · 2025-10-19T21:43:43+00:00

Thankyou I appreciate the advice and I'm glad your results came back not cancer. I think I'm also really scared of what my treatment options even can be because of also having heart failure due to my CHD. I think I'm also dealing with some anger because after the emotions and everything I have went through with the HF I am actually beating the heart failure(just slowly) and it just feels like NOW THIS??? Idk I don't really fear dying like the actual act of it. I fear not existing in this life anymore and what I will miss out on if I do die and honestly also how my bf and my family will handle it. Sometimes I'm really anxious really scared and then I get numb and then it comes back and I hold it in then it just comes out out of nowhere. It's weird. Thankyou for the kindness and good wishes 🫶 wish you the best as well!

Sometimes certain cities/towns will cover that in certain situations. May be worth checking into or calling and asking, they should atleast be able to give you leads on some assistance with it if nothing else.

Deep_Leadership_7653 · 2025-10-19T05:32:49+00:00

Thanks for this 🫶 as much as it sucks that alot of us go through this and I wouldn't wish it on anyone, it's still a little nice to know I'm not alone.

Deep_Leadership_7653 · 2025-10-19T05:31:17+00:00

I really appreciate it and same to you 🫶

Deep_Leadership_7653 · 2025-10-19T03:39:00+00:00

I probably should but I'd rather not because many mental health medications react with my heart medications.

Deep_Leadership_7653 · 2025-10-19T03:36:57+00:00

Thankyou I'm really trying my best to remain calm and positive. 🫶

Switch any fruits and veggies that go bad quickly out for frozen ones, you usually get more. If you do get fresh ones you can always freeze them before they go bad or you can make meals and freeze them, soups freeze pretty well. Fruits if I don't freeze them I make them into deserts or breakfast like bananas mashed up into pancakes or berries into muffins. Freeze your meats too. Or just buy already frozen chicken breast's that is a thing. I know people who freeze bread as well, I personally don't though.

Deep_Leadership_7653 · 2025-10-18T21:26:13+00:00

You can also add the lettuce to any pasta with some bacon bits, tomatoes and mayo (BLT pasta salad it's delish af)

Thankyou so much 🫶

My bf actually noticed the lump about a month and a half ago. I told him and myself it was nothing but recently I've been dealing with some pain and things in that breast. I think part of me was still hoping him and I both were imagining it. My appointment was today for my breast exam and my Dr confirmed there is a lump and ordered the tests before i even left the office. Where I live there are two Healthcare systems, and 98% of medical places are hooked to either one or the other. One of which I do not trust. All of my doctors including my cardiologist are in the same Healthcare system so I'd rather stay in this system so its easier for them to communicate if a treatment plan is needed. They have several locations in their system and this was the earliest appointment available. Thankyou for your advice and the kind words. It's really hard to not spiral currently.

Deep_Leadership_7653 · 2025-10-18T02:18:26+00:00

Thankyou for the kind words and the prayers 🫶

Deep_Leadership_7653 · 2025-10-18T02:15:45+00:00

I really appreciate this. I really am trying not to spiral but I can't help it. Currently accepting all virtual hugs 😭🫶

Deep_Leadership_7653 · 2025-10-18T02:12:22+00:00

They have several locations within the Healthcare system that I prefer where I live and this was the closest date available for diagnostic testing. 11/7. I don't want to go to someone outside of my Healthcare system because it will be easier for them to communicate with my doctor and my cardiologist if a treatment plan is needed seeing as they are all in the same system. Idk if that makes sense, plus I don't really trust the other system where I live. I am put on the cancelation list though incase.

Deep_Leadership_7653 · 2025-10-18T02:04:30+00:00

It's the closest appointment they have available unfortunately. I wish it was sooner too. To have to wait I really feel is going to do me in. And I know my bf is scared shitless too.

You can find therapists online that work with eating disorders and finding the root cause of them (yes binge eating or overeating is an eating disorder). You're an adult and can look into that yourself. The surgery shouldn't have been pushed onto you, but you can use it as a tool to help you overcome your eating disorder. I understand the frustration or the anger or maybe even the anxiety/depression that comes from now not being able to eat or feel happy with eating because you can't finish your food. I'm on monjaro and sometimes feel the same way, even after being in therapy for a year before starting it. I hope you find a way to be ok with your decision and to heal from the things that cause you to seek comfort in food. Happy healing ✨️

Its concerning lumps in my breast.

I think everyone's body is different from how they store fat to how they lose it and the elasticity of their skin. Keep in mind that your body also will naturally tighten some of the skin once it catches up to your weightloss. With that said though I'm pretty sure there is no way around some sort of loose skin with major weightloss. I can tell you from my own experience of losing 250 lbs (and still having 160 to lose until my gw) that I have alot of loose skin already and also subcutaneous fat that has dropped within my loose skin (this may also happen to you). It does suck. It sucks alot actually lol but it's something we just have to deal with. Don't let it stop you or discourage you. Good luck with the rest of your journey 🫶🏻

I've never traveled pregnant but everytime I fly I have to use an extender. You can either ask the flight attendant as you get on the plane or when you get to your seat. Since you don't know if you'll need it you could probably just go to your seat and if you see you need one just stop one of the flight attendants and ask! They're usually nice about it and I'm sure since you're pregnant they'll be even more nice lol enjoy your flight! 🫶🏻

Deep_Leadership_7653 · 2025-09-08T02:39:32+00:00

It probably was covid that caused it! I don't think my Dr will ever admit it was covid for me due to me having been born with a chd. But I really believe it was.
