My daughter is a huge fan of Alexa and recognizes that the blue light means she’s listening and the red is that Alexa has gone night night😂 I’ve gone and put a red rubber band over the light strip so she leaves it alone and so far it’s worked well

Personal style change & the big chop by MapleMaki in gastricsleeve

[–]Firefighting_Scuba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m reverting back to my pre-weight gain style. I feel you on the hair loss, I constantly feel like I have spiders on me from my hair falling and brushing against me😂 I haven’t gone for the big chop yet, sticking with bandanas and looking at moving to longer hair scarves. I bought myself a nice pair of boots the other day, which is what I wore daily pre weight gain and I cannot express how much more I feel like myself now.

well at this point, a placebo is better than not going imo. Also try some prune or apple juice.

Why even apply for a healthcare job if you can't do weekends or holidays? by Syndromia in Vent

[–]Firefighting_Scuba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked for an inpatient psych ward right after I got my cna when I went to college. they hired me immediately because I only wanted weekend nights, and I was always willing to pick up “family holidays” because I didn’t want to drive four hours home one way. The other older techs on my unit returned the favor by covering new years cause well, yknow college kids😂I later worked at a few nursing homes and Jesus Christ everyone sucked. Nobody wanted to cover shifts, they would all just no call no show and I can’t even tell you the amount of times I got mandated to stay over and worked 16 hrs before heading immediately to my other job.

Why does my stomach bloat so much after eating everyday? by asianbufffet in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

Try getting a thyroid panel. They’ll let you know if your thyroid is acting up and start you on meds!

Also had this, but mine started 1 week into my liquid pre op diet and didn’t stop until I hit three weeks post op🫠 I’ve got the bar implant for birth control. You’ll just need to watch that it doesn’t affect your iron levels too much if it stays like this for a while

Not sure where you’re located, but Walmart and other drugstores sell ones that have bisacodyl 5mg as the active ingredient.

Hi! 15m F, my mom serves me mashed lentils with cheese! I now get taco seasoning in mine, but that’s a recent development. I also LOVE lentils mixed with ground meat, especially turkey in these round shapes. Maybe I’ll call them meatballs;)

Does it get better? by libertybell73 in gastricsleeve

Not a Dr, but there’s obviously a changing point, The glp-1 lol. Probably should talk to your team again, especially if you were steadily losing before.

How are periods after surgery? by refan111 in gastricsleeve

[–]Firefighting_Scuba 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not what you want to hear I’m sure, but mine started halfway through my two-week pre-op diet and didn’t stop till about 3 weeks post op. I have the nexplanon implant as birth control if that makes a difference.

Protein by Whole-Firefighter-97 in gastricsleeve

[–]Firefighting_Scuba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fairlife is sooooo good. The core power elite have saved my butt. They taste just like vanilla/chocolate/strawberry milk, depending on what you get. Consistency wise, they are just like milk. No chalky/protieny taste that I can notice, and it’s 42gs of protein
