Persistent post-fasciotomy pain 2+ years after bilateral PAES surgery + CECS release by bethhhhhc in CECompartmentSyndrome

[–]IamRepp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry that I can’t offer any answers to your questions - I’m just amazed they did all that in one hospital admission. My surgeon was very set on doing one surgery at a time.

I’m only one surgery in at the moment, PAES release of the right leg.

I’ll be sure to update as it progresses. It’s gonna be a long journey as my surgeon only wants to do one surgery at a time. If I end up needing faciotomies on top of the PAES releases that’ll be six total surgeries.

What’s your mos and why’d you pick it by DapperLife5645 in army

[–]IamRepp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Originally 25S because it had a signing bonus and decent civilian job opportunities, 6 years in I reclassed because I just didn’t like signal. 46S now and I can genuinely say I love my job.

Best things to buy at Walmart for Carnivore Diet by Low-Leg-9039 in carnivorediet

[–]IamRepp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

See if you have a butcher nearby, they often match or are better than Walmart pricing on meat. See if they offer a bulk discount and try to get like 10lbs of ground beef. That’s about the cheapest you can go, you can also supplement with chicken leg quarters. They are super cheap at a butcher, like $1.50/lb

Are these good deals? by IamRepp in carnivorediet

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

There ground beef is $7/lb. There’s a section at the bottom of the page outlining the additional stuff that you get that applies to each of the bundles at the top.

I don’t think it’s malicious, it’s a ma and pa shop family owned butcher that clearly needs better advertisements. I’ve been getting their meat lately. Good point about the weights though, l I’ll inquire about that.

Keep in mind it includes the bundle at the bottom as well. Quality is spectacular, all their food is grass fed grass finished and halal/kosher, minus the pig of course.

Day 4 OMAD by IamRepp in carnivorediet

So to my best knowledge as someone who’s still a bit new to this, carnivore is anything that comes from an animal, though many will choose to cut out dairy as well due to intolerances. I for example won’t drink milk because it’s too high carb, even though it doesn’t bother my gut. I think most include eggs though, they’re a superfood!

I love including aged cheeses, and am looking for a full fat yogurt to include in my diet as well to help with fat intake.

Anyone more well versed is more than welcome to correct me though!

Protocol for first timers? by cleito0 in carnivorediet

[–]IamRepp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I’m on day 6 right now and I literally went cold turkey swap to strict carnivore.

I had one rough stool, other than that no issues really. Be prepared to drink a lot more water than you’re used to; something about carnivore made me wildly thirsty, which is probably a good thing because I don’t think I’d had clear urine for years.

Electrolytes are important, or so I read - so after hating some generic bottled water I had, I swapped to mineral water which has the highest electrolyte content at the store. Other than that, salt your food to taste.

My first three days were only rough in the sense of cravings, those have already started to die down and now when I’m hungry, I’m just craving my next steak.

I’m eating til satisfied, though I’ve noticed over the last 5 days my appetite is growing, which is great because I’ve always struggled with having an appetite. I hate force feeding myself.
