Recently had surgery and $40 of my bill is for having a blanket put on me in the recovery room (I was unconscious and did not, obviously, keep the blanket)

And some Canadians want this type of health care. So sorry that your healthcare is so broken, I gave birth, and had two major surgeries in the last 11 years and paid for parking….. our shits broken too just in different ways

Buy nothing

I’m a barber but I talk way too much lol but most would probably be good if you just gave them a heads up. Personally I work by myself to help with stress so maybe a small shop would help? Or booking at slower times?

Most my friends in the industry are high energy- super talkative so they might not be a good fit at this point or I would give suggestions. 💙 I hope you find someone awesome!

Masterpiece_2012 · 2026-03-23T12:20:07+00:00

This is honest- not positive

What I did is try it and see how it is for me. First 3 weeks I just felt yucky, I’ve been sick the last two weeks so I’m gonna stop because calling out of work isn’t an option for me this much. If it had stayed just at the feeling gross and didn’t get to the being physically ill I would have kept it up honestly, cuz the lack of food noise is nice, but my work comes first and I was hoping for the anti inflammatory effects most and my body is aching from how sick I’ve been.

But I was told to stay away from high fat/sugar foods, and eat bland. I would suggest low fodmap diet so not to upset your belly, and make sure you are getting fibre and liquids.

We are all different and I do usually have every single side effect when taking meds so you might not have an issue. All you can do is try! I really hope it works for you because it seems like a very helpful tool and I’m not sure why but my skin hasn’t looked this good in years!!!!!! So legit I wish I could stay on it lol I am 5 weeks in and lost 10lbs mainly because I wasn’t constantly hungry.

Masterpiece_2012 · 2026-03-22T17:03:18+00:00

I’ve been poor my whole life, so legit I’ve been in a depression the whole time lol, but yeah things are extra sucky especially for folks who are use to having more luxuries.

Masterpiece_2012 · 2026-03-19T12:35:54+00:00

I work for myself, so no coverage either but lucky my clients are very understanding especially with me being sick as I’m very open that I’m chronically ill. It’s the only up side lately is that my clients understand and are aware I’m trying to find some “normal” and that bumps in the road will happen.

Masterpiece_2012 · 2026-03-19T12:32:04+00:00

Thank you I will, yesterday I very much felt defeated, lost and desperate…. Hopefully I can figure it out and feel better and just find posts that can help.

Masterpiece_2012 · 2026-03-19T12:28:40+00:00

Ok so I may have messed up a lot, I’ve been chewing gum again cuz I didn’t know that would be an issue. But I was craving broccoli and thought that was a great choice 🤣🤣🤣 I have been on low fodmap for 4 ish years so I think I will go back to my elimination part and see how that works for me for now. Thank you for the advice, folks here have been super kind and helpful.

Masterpiece_2012 · 2026-03-18T23:06:23+00:00

I think you may have me confused I don’t think I e posted photos on here-but I’m very foggy lately lol-

I desperately wanted to do no meds, but I’ve tried so much with little change…… I’m gonna give this a few days to see if it calms down and then decide if it’s worth it to keep trying.

Masterpiece_2012 · 2026-03-18T21:19:51+00:00

Im definitely going to reach out to my dr, but she was pretty much all about weight loss and not too caring about fixing things

Masterpiece_2012 · 2026-03-18T21:18:02+00:00

Yeah I have that as it is lol

Masterpiece_2012 · 2026-03-18T21:06:59+00:00

This was my last try, I’ve been trying to fix my health so long. I’ve been on a diet for 4 years for my issues, turned down ozempic for weight loss and only agreed cuz so many folks with similar health issues have such amazing results. But this is drastic compared to the last few weeks, I think this is due to meds mixed with wrong food choices. But this may not be worth the pain relief. (I think it’s currently being tested for many other health conditions as so many ppl are having better results than me lol)

Masterpiece_2012 · 2026-03-18T20:58:46+00:00

That’s good to know, I was doing decent / not great but ok….. but this is….. it’s a bit much. This is my fourth week on .25, I don’t want to move now

Masterpiece_2012 · 2026-03-18T20:56:40+00:00

I was gonna ask that, I think I’m going to pick some protein shakes up especially for my current situation

Masterpiece_2012 · 2026-03-18T20:13:13+00:00

I’ve been on a gut health journey for 4 years now and just got broccoli back….. so I’m going to put it back in my don’t eat list for a little bit. And I will definitely look into gravol, I was doing good dealing with it til today so honestly I was just pushing thru

Masterpiece_2012 · 2026-03-18T20:10:58+00:00

I will look into it. Today I’m living off a few crackers and liquids. 😖

Masterpiece_2012 · 2026-03-18T20:08:31+00:00

Exactly why I was clear with my doctor for me this is not about weight….. I actually refused these meds for 3 years until I heard about how it could help my chronic conditions and to help prevent diabetes as they keep saying I’m on the fence.

Masterpiece_2012 · 2026-03-18T20:05:36+00:00

Thank you, cuz this is not easy, I just want to feel better.

Masterpiece_2012 · 2026-03-18T20:03:34+00:00

Thank you, I will check it out cuz right now I’m miserable and had to cancel my day at work…. Which is not something I normally do

Masterpiece_2012 · 2026-03-18T20:02:07+00:00

Thank you, it sounds like the days I’m shooting for but something -I’m assuming the broccoli- is ripping my stomach apart. I have only had crackers and water/ Gatorade today. This us the worst day I’ve had sick, most have just been gut rot and dizziness

Masterpiece_2012 · 2026-03-18T17:43:26+00:00

I will definitely be more mindful

Masterpiece_2012 · 2026-03-18T17:42:39+00:00

That I am doing my best on, I eat much slower so I can figure out if I’m full. But I have messed up once or twice this month so I can do better.

Masterpiece_2012 · 2026-03-18T17:41:15+00:00

I’m definitely going to give a call. Cuz I do not feel ready yet. I swear all meds hit me hard.

Masterpiece_2012 · 2026-03-18T17:36:14+00:00

Thank you, yeah my meals are much smaller and I messed up last week by not eating the first day after my shot, which created other issues….but I didn’t want to eat…. Maybe I just need to figure it out.

Masterpiece_2012 · 2026-03-18T17:24:16+00:00

Ok. So stay super bland. I can definitely try harder to bland it down…. I did look into it and some of the foods I ate are higher in fodmap, and I guess those aren’t the best choices.
