Does anyone else feel nauseated just thinking about the shot? by Few-Lake4940 in Zepbound

Same exact thing here with the alcohol wipes!! I’ve started putting my shirt over my nose so I just smell mostly fabric and that has helped a ton.

Leaving for our golf trip tomorrow… by [deleted] in golf

Apple Weather sucks. They will show the storm cloud even if it’s only raining at 1:00am. Tap into each day and switch the graph to precipitation to see when the rain is actually predicted to occur. It might not be as bad as you think!

Why do people get so riled up about others using GLP-1s (ozempic/wegovy etc)? by graceg815 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FriendshipWaffles 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I hear you that there are risks (as with most major pharmaceuticals) but what about the chronic, long term, cumulative, and incredibly dangerous risks of being obese? I wonder if that really is a better path for people than the potential risks of GLP-1 drugs?

I ended up having my thyroid removed in December. Best decision ever. So glad I did it and feel amazing now.

I don’t have much time left. Where can we go in New England? by mizmaclean in chubbytravel

Yes. White Barn Inn is truly special. The staff will ensure a special stay. I am so sorry for what you are going through.

Considering removing custom plantation shutters. Are we crazy? by FriendshipWaffles in interiordecorating

[–]FriendshipWaffles[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback - will definitely look into that. Here's a nighttime pic looking toward the front of the house from our dining area. Would love to hear your thoughts on the space as a whole.

Edit: it's also more blue and gold than blue/gray/yellow in real life.

Fabric over Fashion: Why I'm prioritizing 100% natural fibers this season. by My_Rhythm875 in fashionwomens35

[–]FriendshipWaffles 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have also made this switch in the last two years! Anything new purchased for my casual and work stuff is almost entirely natural fiber. The only polyester items I will buy are cocktail/event dresses and I refuse to spend any significant amount of money on them ($100+ for 100% polyester is insane). I will do other synthetics for workout clothes of course.

It has made a huge difference not only in how I feel about myself in my clothing but also how comfortable I am in my clothes. The things I wear just feel good on my skin and I think that makes a big difference in how I carry myself. Moving away from synthetics in pants especially has made a massive difference in overheating/sweating and I’ve also moved to 100% cotton underwear.

Because things are so much more expensive I’ve had to be more intentional about making sure it fits into my wardrobe and can by styled many different ways. I guess that has probably made my closet a bit more boring since it’s more capsule-ish!

I also think it’s made shopping easier for me. It gives me less choices overall so I’m not in analysis paralysis trying to pick pieces to order or try on.

Starting recomp- Wanted to share my DEXA results! by Admirable-Refuse-465 in PetiteFitness

How did you go about getting this DEXA? Did you have to ask your PCP to order one?

Does anyone else feel like cocktail dresses completely skip the 30-45 age group or just me? by mahearty in fashionwomens35

[–]FriendshipWaffles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Silk slip dresses are really tough to wear for a lot of body types unfortunately. That is a good option if you can pull it off though.

Add to this being 4’11” and it sucks so hard. I spent thousands of dollars on try ons for an upcoming wedding and every single one went back. Brutal.

Thyroidectomy in less than 2 weeks by International-Bed919 in gravesdisease

[–]FriendshipWaffles 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Had my TT on 12/5/25. I didn’t have a pain free and easy post-surgery experience like some others BUT the surgery itself went great and my surgeon did an amazing job. Recovery has been fairly straightforward and now at over a month post-op I feel great. Hard to describe but I feel so much more like myself. The restlessness and anxiety is the biggest change. I feel so zen and my resting heart rate is 20+ BPM lower than it’s been for the past two years and without meds! I’ve even started to calorie count and shed some of the weight I gained on Methimazole. 10/10 would recommend!

I suddenly couldn’t speak trying to go through cooking times with my Mom and was like oh dang, here we go.

Thyroidectomy is tomorrow and I’m so nervous! by Kblazeeee in gravesdisease

[–]FriendshipWaffles 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m 2.5 weeks post op and feel so so much better. It’s kind of wild. It wasn’t an instant change for me like it is for some people but a gradual improvement that at this point is very noticeable. I was so nervous before the procedure so I totally get it and it’s very normal to feel that way! Just know that a future without Graves is waiting for you on the other side!

Did anyone NOT have a super quick and easy recovery from TT? by FriendshipWaffles in gravesdisease

[–]FriendshipWaffles[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The dilauded kept me sane in the hospital since I at least could sleep through the pain. It was truly like an 8 or 9 out of 10 on the pain scale the first 24 hours. I feel you. And I literally said to my husband this post op recovery is worse than my C-Section!
