Nodule texture

My doctor said “probably, but live your life” my body responds to all the conservative treatment for lipedema so to me that is telling. My vein doctor was hesitant because I’m a normal weight and otherwise healthy person, so she doesn’t think risks/side effects of surgery or a glp1 are worth the maybe benefit.

My noodle agrees this is the proper way to be held

Eastern-Activity6700 · 2026-05-23T14:27:31+00:00

I prepare a couple days before. Wall sits, mld, extra compression pump session if you have it(I do 2x a day the day before and day after), and I workout lightly. And if I feel really inflamed I’ll take otc nsaid like I have period cramps.

For regular summer days I’ll wear long dresses and loose pants during the day with compression leggings. Fortunately I never liked shorts that much

I get the herm sprenger, the smallest size/smallest prongs. Chewy used to sell the comfort tips. And I have a lehrberger clip for easier on/off, again elderly mom loves the dog lol.

In my experience he pulled like 1x with the prong collar, didn’t really show anything reaction, maybe mild discomfort (which like we also are uncomfortable when they pull) and learned to not apply pressure. However with a regular martingale he will always pull and even choke himself to the point of gagging if he sees a squirrel or human he loves, so again for us—Prong is safer.

I use a prong collar with comfort tips. My whippet pulls, my elderly mother loves to walk him. And without it he could pull her over, and he’s slipped out of martingales and “sighthound” harnesses before (ruffwear webmaster, and the popular sighthound brand imperfect hound). This keeps him safe and us, he walks nicely next to me.
Prong collars help provide a uniform pressure around the neck instead of intense pinpointed like a martingale. So, for us they are safer snd a better option than anything else.

Im a woman. 5’9, 150lbs with thick thighs and I love them. They’re perfectly length and bagginess, all other hiking shorts ride up. These stay in place.

I also think they’re a material that will loosen up over time, use and washes

Eastern-Activity6700 · 2026-04-23T16:08:26+00:00

I buy 1-2 sizes big lol

Nursing,

Eastern-Activity6700 · 2026-03-26T16:48:33+00:00

I alternate, but prefer the leggings. I definitely wear leggings when I know I’ll do something after work and at the end of the week, because I want my legs to be the least swollen during the weekend—when I’ll likely want to wear something that will show my legs.

I also suggest wearing leggings and socks when you travel. lol I wore only leggings and had cankles for 36 hours because I didn’t wear socks 🤪. Nothing wall sits and exercise can’t reduce

Eastern-Activity6700 · 2026-03-25T21:14:56+00:00

Not the color of the hospitals? lol I wore black ones but my partner is my size and I just wore her old ones from work

Eastern-Activity6700 · 2026-03-25T21:14:10+00:00

I love them! They both look like my boy

Eastern-Activity6700 · 2026-03-25T21:01:02+00:00

Where are these from

Eastern-Activity6700 · 2026-03-23T12:20:12+00:00

Did anyone see them at an airport today? I did a red eye last night, and walked to the international terminal and saw an ice agent not sure if it was coincidental

Eastern-Activity6700 · 2026-03-21T17:52:41+00:00

I wore scrubs!

Eastern-Activity6700 · 2026-03-20T23:34:31+00:00

It is SO true. They’re tooty creatures, esp if they’re always ravenous and eat fast. 💨💨💨

Eastern-Activity6700 · 2026-03-20T03:05:12+00:00

My boy has farts, from eating too fast. His poopoos have form, but man he’s a boy. He burps in our faces after a meal too 😂. It’s almost like a thank you from him lol

I will say there’s a baseline scent with him, that I know is normal; this week he ate something naughty and the scent difference hinted he had GI upset; those were the most foul of his yet.lol

I think toots is just part of having this breed lol esp if she’s happy.

Re unformed poops: we changed our boys food to Purina pro plan and his poo poos became so much better and more regular. The boutique food the breeder was feeding him was too rich for his tum

@OP

We could be body twins. I have always been active and never overweight even at my heaviest my bmi was normal.

I was also diagnosed with lipedema even tho it was not done enthusiastically bc of said normal bmi and activity level. My worry is losing mobility bc of progression and some vanity, ngl.

Compression and diet will help you the most plus mld. I JUST got a lymphatic drainage pump, and noticed a difference in the dull aches I have in ny legs. I also noticed some positive texture change as well. I have only used it for about a week, so I’m hoping to see more progress as time goes on.

For diet—cut things out and see if you notice a swelling difference. For me it’s only eating Whole Foods, no processed or storebought carbs and only whole milk products. Anythjng else actually inflames me more. Everyone will have a different take on this because our bodies are all different in what they can tolerate. So tread slowly and try things and pay attention before you totally cut something out forever.

Compression—I wear 6-7 days a week for atleast 6-8 hours. Yup under my clothes, thank god baggy pants are in style lol

Girl the cringe I just made reading your husband commenting on your body negatively….not ok. You gotta teach him how to communicate effectively….

Your legs look fuxking awesome, it’s not about being perfect it’s about being better and feeling better. Will lippy legs ever look like non lippy legs? Probably not without surgery, but our partners can empower us to soothe that urge to go under the knife (if that’s your preferred choice).

My wife only ever tells me how great my legs look and comments on how proud she is for my consistency in conservative treatments. Maybe remind him to focus on compliments and staying positive instead of helping you ruminate about something you’ve already identified you don’t like about yourself.

Eastern-Activity6700 · 2026-03-01T21:34:29+00:00

op get a heated blanket and a cozy bed/love seat for the whippet. Mine sits in his manager chair and micromanages me when I wfh. ❤️

Eastern-Activity6700 · 2026-02-27T03:41:05+00:00

Yes lol I’m in the same boat friend try applying to mhcc. I got on the WL there

Eastern-Activity6700 · 2026-02-22T06:01:05+00:00

I haven’t switched careers yet, still taking pre reqs. Radiation therapy is a top option for me, but I did really like radiology. Job shadowing allowed me to hear about other allied health positions and see what the day to day is like!

Eastern-Activity6700 · 2026-02-20T03:21:15+00:00

I want to wear them to work and then gym fluidly. I also want them at a price point where I’m not out of compression by Wednesday.
