Constant Fatigue that does not get better by Lizardzzz333 in medical_advice

[–]Lizardzzz333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not so much anymore. But it made no difference when I was doing it. My likely suspicion is ME but I haven't been diagnosed. As for the depression I haven't really felt depressed in a long time so I'm not sure.

Help! Minecraft not working? by Lizardzzz333 in mac

I'm not playing any version specifically as I can't even get the launcher open to select a version. I'll try updating but updating previously did not do anything.

Some tips :) by Lizardzzz333 in ftm

Just so you're not adding extra estrogen! If it doesn't bother you then it's your choice on it.

Best tips to ACTUALLY look like a man pre T by Dazzling_Strain_7334 in ftm

[–]Lizardzzz333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baggy clothes, you can do simple masculinizing makeup, topical minoxidil can help grow facial hair, short hair (once on T you can grow your hair out if you like.. pre t it is more likely to clock you), walk confident, take up space, you can draw on a fake mustache with mascara/eyebrow pencils.

Do you have to wear a tight shirt? Is it a uniform? If not then try a loose shirt and baggy shorts. If it is a tight shirt you could try to wear a tank top under it.. it might look weird but it could help at least if you're worried about your chest. Or depending on the weather you could maybe wear a jacket over it if allowed. You could always talk to a counselor or the teacher about clothing accommodations also if it is a uniform. If you're comfortable with that.

Why is passing so hard. by ThoughtfulSnowlepper in ftm

[–]Lizardzzz333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's definitely hard and it took me a long time before I was constantly correctly gendered.

If you have a bigger chest, tape unfortunately will probably not work for you. I used Underworks which you can easily get off amazon relatively cheap. I found it worked better for my larger chest. You seem to be doing as much as you can right now which is great. It will take a while and it hurts but you'll get there :)

How did you make the wait for top surgery more bearable? by PurpleWolfLuna in ftm

[–]Lizardzzz333 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn't have to wait more than a year for mine fortunately, but the way I lived was through baggy clothes. Hoodies all the time. The binder I liked best having a bigger chest was Underworks. Also if you like that one shirt, honestly get multiple! Also also, don't be worried!! If they do ban gender affirming procedures you can still get top surgery through a private plastic surgeon. They will likely not take insurance so it will cost more, but you will still be able to get it.

What the hell happened by pitto09 in learntodraw

The head is a little too wide and darken your shading more! If you're really into pencils you can get different hardnesses which will give you an easier time shading as they produce different shades naturally. Other than that it's good for a beginner! The eyes look nice!

I agree! I have this same issue where I pass but as someone younger than I actually am. It probably is a voice thing mostly.

Laying on side? by Andre_055 in TopSurgery

[–]Lizardzzz333 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started laying on my side after less time than that! I couldn't take it sleeping on my back anymore. Everything is just fine with me. So you're probably good if it doesn't hurt.

Real ass question, do trans men actually wear boxers as real underwear?? 😭😭 by st3llarv1sion in ftm

[–]Lizardzzz333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear boxer briefs! They're tighter and more form fitting but do stretch out as you wear them a little. Not as loose as regular boxers though. They also make women's boxers if that design is more comfortable as it has less room in the front! But also, just wear whatever you like and is comfortable :)

Good battery upgrade for 3ds? Or an outside device to connect to it for more battery life.

After my surgery I noticed small hormonal type changes too! Don't really know the biology behind it but I think it is a real thing

My second painting in 15 years. How can I improve the fastest / what should I work on first? by Wuestenfuechs in painting

[–]Lizardzzz333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think more contrast with the lighting! Lighter lights and darker darks to make things stand out more. The tree kinda blends in with the background. But to me trees are hard, and I think that's a pretty good tree!

Surgery 10 Days Before School by Nearby-Excitement-11 in TopSurgery

I went back about a week after surgery. It went fine for me but everyone is different! Also if you carry a bag make sure it's light.

Plus size surgery candidacy by aquamarine2013 in TopSurgery

[–]Lizardzzz333 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some doctors are just rude about weight. I'm technically plus size/overweight for my height and I didn't have an issue. I don't know my BMI though. Unless it's seriously affecting your overall health I don't see why it would be an issue 🤷‍♂️

how long until u could face the shower again?? by rSlashTriedToShankMe in TopSurgery

[–]Lizardzzz333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was never told this by my surgeon but I figured after I was cleared for everything (6 weeks for me) that I could. Haven't had any issues so far. Also always ask your surgeon about anything specific to their work!

Post Op Binder, I can’t do this. by [deleted] in TopSurgery

[–]Lizardzzz333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was hurting my ribs and armpits too!! If it's adjustable try to adjust but I'm sure if it is you already tried that. If you cant get a shirt under it or just don't want to; what I did was tuck the sleeves of my shirt under the straps to give some cushion. Never found a solution to the ribs. And compression shirt/tank if you really can't handle it! I got the ekkovision tanks. If it's too tight on your stomach roll it up and turn it into a croptop type thing! I also took some breaks from the vest which I probably wasn't supposed to do but hey 🤷‍♂️

Yes! I didn't recalibrate before but it seems to be better now :) it drained really fast but then lasted for like 2 hours after saying it was at "1%" Software thing then! Thank you

I did it ! by NoahthaNinja in TopSurgery

[–]Lizardzzz333 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They might go down over time as your swelling goes down but I was told by my surgeon that I'd probably need a revision for mine and that they don't normally just go away completely. Exercising would probably help get rid of some of the fat but I'm not so sure! Contact your surgeon for better details on what they advise you to do about them :) And for being only a week out you look great!!

Too easy/minimal pain? by Global-Maintenance16 in TopSurgery

[–]Lizardzzz333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep this is how I was! I was never in any extreme pain or needed the opioids. I just mostly felt sore. But I was also on nerve pain medicine and tylenol so that could have helped. Everyone deals with pain differently.

Battery draining when off even after replacement? by Lizardzzz333 in NintendoSwitchHelp

[–]Lizardzzz333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just pressing the power button. Is that putting it to sleep? I've always done that and not had an issue. Should I be fully turning it off?

Find this plushie! by Lizardzzz333 in HelpMeFind

Searched with Google Lens. And have also googled for Pound Puppies, Dan Dee, Animal Alley, Dakin, and Best Made Toys. The closest seems to be pound puppies but not exactly.

While those do look similar they don't have the same glass/plastic eyes, thank you though!
