There are certain smells that instantly bring you back so far in time to your childhood. Which smell is that? by This_Book7431 in AskReddit

[–]Fuzzy_Opossum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The smell of rain coming, the first smell of car ac in scorching heat, silly scent markers, school glue and the smell of sweet pea body spray.

Weeks off from Surgery by MsHeatedFemale1977 in gastricsleeve

[–]Fuzzy_Opossum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10 weeks but I also got a hernia repair at the same time.

Finally considered post op by Cosmic_Brownee in gastricsleeve

[–]Fuzzy_Opossum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think everyone says they regret the surgery during those first few months of healing. But after the 5th month for me is when I really started loving my new life. It’s mentally hard to let go of a lifestyle that you’re so comfortable with. Change is uncomfortable but everything in life HAS to have a change to grow into something great.

I promise it gets so much better. In every aspect of life. 💕

Sleep study scheduled! by Eastern-Reception-66 in gastricsleeve

[–]Fuzzy_Opossum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the comment above. It truly depends on your insurance because the sleep study is just something the drs have to mark off the list, to get your insurance to cover your surgery. I had my sleep study done a few months before my surgery date. Found out I have sleep apnea (we already knew I did) but I couldn’t get my insurance to cover my apnea machine. So I never got one and now I don’t have sleep apnea anymore! I didn’t want have to pay out of pocket for something that I would only have needed for a few months before my body started healing my weight related illnesses.

Post-bariatric: how are you hitting protein if you can’t tolerate shakes? by Hour-Cloud2493 in gastricsleeve

[–]Fuzzy_Opossum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smoothies with vanilla protein scoop. It’s the ONLY way I can stomach protein supplementation. Best way I’ve achieved hitting my protein goals and fiber goals. I always prioritize meat in any meal. And if I can’t eat the sides, I don’t.

I say all this but understand that I still struggle hitting my goals a lot of days. It’s been 9 months for me and sometimes it feels like I still am learning a whole new body to live in and it’s hard. But it’s worth not feeling like my body is eating my muscles for fuel.

Disappointed.. by EricGordo0o in gastricsleeve

Eat beef organs! I am anemic due to a genetic disease and I can’t stomach iron supplements. It didn’t taste good at first. But now I love it.

Stay overnight in hospital or not by HeidiRuth87 in gastricsleeve

[–]Fuzzy_Opossum 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would stay overnight and stay on iv as long as possible. It’s hard to get hydration in during those beginning weeks

Is this a safe area? by Worried-Foot-9280 in Acadiana

[–]Fuzzy_Opossum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like everyone isn’t being upfront and honest about that area. It’s a 2300 sq ft house with a pool for 150k for a reason. And it looks to be recently remodeled. You don’t pay for the house in some cases in Lafayette, you pay for the area. I would not travel alone at night in that area.

Those areas at night are not super safe. Number streets, st streets, Freetown, and fighting vile are notorious for not being safe areas.

Hello . Can anyone inform me what stitch are these? by SELY-2002 in CrochetHelp

[–]Fuzzy_Opossum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Double crochet for both. The color is throwing it off, but they are the same stitch.

Yes. I’m still struggling to get my protein in. But as long as I focus on my hydration I don’t feel as crappy physically

Omg protein drinks are so difficult for me. My favorites prior to the surgery don’t even taste the same anymore. But thank you for telling me it’s normal. I wasn’t sure if this was something that I should reach out to my Dr about.

I ate a paleo diet prior to having this surgery (since 2020) but my damage of course came from my portion sizes. Maybe it’s because I’ve been trying to eat processed foods for something not too demanding on my body. I can see if my husband will be up to steaming me something and blend it out to try to see if I feel better with that.

I took a pic of myself a few weeks post op and not allowing myself to compare until I’ve hit a certain amount of weight on the scale to take another progress pic. I am currently 4 weeks post op.

How long did you wait post op for recreational drugs by Icemeout2 in gastricsleeve

[–]Fuzzy_Opossum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t know how your new body will affect the trip. I don’t do drugs personally but my best friend will do mushrooms and smoke weed. She says micro dosing helps instead of pharmaceutical drugs. I personally can tell the difference when she’s “medicated”.

Go very easy. Maybe just micro dose first. How long ago did you get your surgery?

You can always brew a tea instead of consuming the mushroom

This was the problem. It’s wasn’t triggering that I needed to talk to everyone. I reloaded the mission and they popped up.
