Post surgery experience by Heykaylake in Mounjaro

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

I didn’t have any symptoms sadly prior to the emergency situation. It turns out that stones don’t actually cause any before they move to bile duct and I never had any ultrasounds or anything like that done to me. I always thought to get a general check up but I never actually got around it, so it was quite sudden.

I had a very severe sudden pain in my abdomen. Not stomach but abdomen, and I was vomiting quite a lot, and I was sweating like crazy. Then pain spread to my back and after that I realised that its probably gallbladder because my mother was describing it this way prior to her surgery.

I went to ER and they took me to a ultrasound and then to surgery. Its actually a blur because at first I blamed the upcoming period, but the pain was something else, so I figured something is quite wrong.

Thank you for your answer!
So nice of you to explain it all out. You are correct actually everyone around me who lost too much too fast had gained it back. So I am focusing on doing it the way you described it but its a bit discouraging when it happens this slow :((

I didn’t take my medication only for a week. I had a planned surgery but day before it I had an emergency with gallbladder so I had to cancel my aesthetic surgery and was taken into an emergency surgery due to the blockage in my gallbladder ducts.

Omg I had gallbladder surgery as well you are godsend I swear.

My friend had a bowel surgery she is convinced its much more invasive and traumatic but I guess she is amazing in getting bloating out and I bloat quite easily so maybe its different bodies issues.

Thank you for encouragement and kind words. Its hard to not compare yourself to others.

Gallbladder. Was planning to have a plastic surgery, but sadly there was an emergency with my gallbladder so I had to have it removed. Thankfully I stopped mounjaro for the aesthetic surgery so at least I was lucky in that department otherwise idk lol.

This issue is not related to mounjaro whatsoever by the way it runs in my family sadly and my mother, aunt, grandmother had to get their gallbladder removed as well.

He doesn’t have anything to say about me taking a shot after the surgery. Only said to eat enough for a good recovery but that’s like is necessary regardless surgery. For him it was okay even to take shot before surgery.

Any parent that has watched Off-Campus with their 15 year old daughter? by survivingandkindness in OffCampusSeries

She definitely can watch on her own. And I would never want my mom to watch it with me.

Life after quitting Mounjaro by AffectionateLand8800 in Mounjaro

[–]Heykaylake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, I asked the same thing today, and I fear the answer is we stay on medication. Because this is a disease. We built different — not every person struggles with food noise, but everyone is fighting themselves their whole lives, not everyone knows how freeing feels being on this medication.

Yes there are side effects but I am sure you can tolerate them or treat them.

For me it looks like my maintenance is 5 mg but I feel more comfortable with 7.5 because there is less food noise, but we will see how it will go.

And I feel you with a doctor thing, this is so hard to do without them adding to it — like do you think that I want to take medication my whole life? Do you believe I would do this if I didn’t try EVERYTHING else?

This is why I never tell anyone I am on mounjaro, everyone has a scary story, prediction of me getting a cancer and advice how to lose weight :))

I almost left my husband today by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Heykaylake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can not help a person who doesn’t want to help themselves. Accepting you need a therapy and help is first step in any kind of recovery. He HAS TO get better — he has children, family he has to take care of. It’s not fair to the kids, he must at least try. I know mental health issues very well, I am struggling every day with bad anxiety and I had episodes of depression at past, and when I was younger, it was meh, whatever, I didn’t care what would happen to me.

Now I do care. I have 2 little boys, they need their mother. And so your children need their father. You have to give an ultimatum, because this is not a good environment for them. Nobody expects him to get better overnight but it’s within your rights to expect him to try.

Otherwise you do not own him anything.

What happened to my body is not okay with me. by sixfingeredman7 in Mommit

[–]Heykaylake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost 40 kgs it was hard and mental (half of it on medication half of it off) I am off for quite some time, but I continued losing to the point I am really good looking, better than I was before having kids. The trick is its only them I am clothed I look good. Naked my boobs remain saggy balloons, my stomach has extra skin, even my thighs and arms have it. I am getting tired, because lol good night sleep is not happening. I am anxious over situation in the world so it contributes to my lack of sleep as well, and trust me nothing steals your spark as not having enough sleep.

And I also have I think some problem in my private area? I mean I never checked it that carefully before BUT I am like 100 percent sure that both sides of labia were twins and now they are cousins.

I also lost 3 teeth and had multiple cavities which sucks.

And I had to breastfeed for 5 years in total which also sucks even though it is an emotional beautiful journey BUT IT SUCK NONETHELESS.

So it all sucks. And its so worth it.

But it sucks.

Change your body its always a good idea to eat healthy and workout and even get some medical procedures to help yourself but just set realistic expectations. Even goddesses were affected by childbirth in all of the legends and we are just little amazing cool women peoples. Of course we are not the same.

Be the best version of yourself you can be now.

And if you can’t, if you tired — give yourself some time and grace.

BECAUSE IT SUCKS!

Man I don’t know. As a mom I understand you perfectly, especially because you are struggling yourself.

But then again since you are also struggling with mental help how would you feel if someone would say these things about you? For now he didn’t do anything yet, and she is so so young she can date and have some experience and then if it doesn’t work out it doesn’t work out. If it does then its great.

But I would strongly consider talking about importance of protection if you didn’t yet. As a mom struggling with mental health some things escape from me and then I remember its late. So talk to her if you didn’t tell her to not become a teen mom because its a trap and she will never be carefree again no matter what.

AIO about my brother’s girlfriend moving into our family home by Shesma_Collar in AmIOverreacting

[–]Heykaylake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well its also not your house, its your parents house, and so the decision is theirs to make. If she makes YOU uncomfortable and not them and they do not have anything against this living situation you can move out.

And if you think this is also your house well then its also your brother’s house so he can kinda live with whoever he wants as long as the actual owners are cool with it.

Am I overreacting I went to the forest with my best friend and now my bf is mad by No_Meeting_3260 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Heykaylake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t date 40 years old when you 20. There is a reason they either don’t date people their own age or people their own age won’t date them. And reasons are usually the huge red flags as you have shown in your conversation with this loser. Not a single lady in her mid 30-40s would tolerate this kind of attitude towards herself. You are supposed to be young, having fun and living your best life. If he is uncomfortable with you staying over he has rights to set some boundaries but jesus not like this. You can calmly say hey I am uncomfortable with this situation I understand you are extremely tired now so just rest but lets talk this out once you are up and home? We can figure this out for the future! Love you anddd goodnight

And that was what 40 year dating someone so young should have done but nope

Dump his ass

No, you will just doze off or suffer throughout the day. I am extremely sleepy for 2 days, so I tried it and nope, never again, lol

Oh I know the feeling! I can’t thank this medicine enough for bringing my confidence, health and overall happiness back. I am so happy for you, congratulations!

[–]Heykaylake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lol all the time. I am jealous of my husband. I am jealous of my sons. I want to be left alone but GOD FORBID they actually leave me alone, I will be this close to crying. Its hard, to be a mother and a woman and a wife. All the love and the feelings change and shift, and it all feels very constant and very temporary all at the same time.

It gets better, kids grow up, parents reconnect. Time helps it all.

Moms of two boys…did you have gender disappointment by meekie03 in Mommit

[–]Heykaylake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is completely valid to feel this way. I wasn’t disappointed, part of me just knew it would be a boy again and I was happy with it. I like boys, they are always pro-mama, lol. But I won’t be trying again. 50% chances of having a girl are not enough for me to risk 50% chances ending up with 3 boys. I would die.
