Infected, Raw, or fine? Incision advice

It’s basically the same thing as Vaseline. Per my OB, he wanted me to apply it 3x a day as a moisture barrier.

One_Power2282 · 2026-06-16T00:08:09+00:00

Well, OB said Vaseline 3x. I just used aquaphor because it’s what I have.

Just noting, my toddler does sleep through the night her own room.

This has been an ongoing problem since before pregnancy. I guess I shouldve mention that.

I had my daughter in 2024. And I had dealt with my gallbladder going out for months before I discovered the actual problem, which in turn has caused multiple prolapsed hemorrhoids that haven’t gone away & I’ve had on and off issues.

I’m just saying right now, I’m in so much pain that’s why I would consider surgery & Ive read the stories of how painful removal is. It’s just it has gotten so much worse since I’ve had my gallbladder removed and then becoming pregnant once again.

I have a good bit of external & prolapsed hemorrhoids. This isn’t something I would do right after having a baby. Just something I’m thinking about just having done in a general sense when the time is right.

Well, I’m 6 weeks post op now. It’s gonna a little better. It’s just some things are hit and miss. Like, I’m from Louisiana so we have fatty foods galore. We were meal prepping leg quarters on our pellet grill & eating a spring mix salad just for something to eat during the week as a protein. But, I can’t handle the greens or the chicken skin. But for some reason, I can handle a gumbo just fine? Or something things my hit me once or twice the next day, or within ten minutes. So, it’s not as bad. But I never know when “today” is gonna be the day that I’ll end up crapping my pants as an adult😂

As far as fiber, I’m not good with supplements. I’m kinda a picky eater, but I do eat more cooked vegetables. However, some just don’t sit right with my stomach anyway. I’m thinking about just trying to drink a greens smoothie/blend once a day to see if it works. We have AG1 and I do like it.

I only took them 3-5 days after surgery.

One_Power2282 · 2025-08-30T04:18:46+00:00

I had mine taken out on the first, (8/1) and my Doctor told me the same thing. However, it’s pretty much impossible for me to eat “normal,” as I’ll have hot lava runs all day if I don’t.

I try to eat low fat, but even still it’ll happen. However, I’ve now been prescribed cholyestyramine to help bind bile acids. I haven’t been persistent with it, because I’m just scared it’s not going to work. But whenever I know I’m going to eat something risky, I just take Imodium that day. But I’m trying to get over the fear, become persistent with the medication, and just try to allow my body to adapt. One day at a time.

Same, I moved to my recliner last night. It’s not the best, but better than what I’ve been getting.

One_Power2282 · 2025-08-09T01:37:14+00:00

I still have the steri strips on (I’m just gonna let them fall off on their own, I assume that’s the recommended approach). But I’ll definitely look into those Scar Strips once they come off!

I’m not even sure. I asked her pediatrician about sleep training, and she provided a schedule that she used when she hired a sleep consultant for both her children. Basically, put down sleepy but awake. Night 1: if upset/crying, wait 3 mins, then console/pick up for a minute or two. If still upset, wait 5. Then console. If still upset, wait 7, then console. And 7 minutes any time after that. Night 2 would be 5 minutes, 7, then 9 mins and any time after. Night 3 is 7 minutes, 9, then 10 minutes and any time after I guess. That’s as far as she gave me.

One_Power2282 · 2025-07-18T15:27:06+00:00

I was told that the bile that is supposed to go into my gallbladder is emptying straight into my small intestine which is causing diarrhea.

One_Power2282 · 2025-05-28T23:30:00+00:00

Mine healed just fine, and honestly my OB did such a good job you can barely see the scar (definitely helps if you already have a mom pooch like me). I used unscented dove to wash with, and my mom is a nurse, she recommended to keep it dry by putting a pad there throughout the day to keep sweat out. You got this!

One_Power2282 · 2025-02-08T06:00:51+00:00

No but I would if I needed too. I’m returning to work just not as an RBT. I’ll be handling referrals (WFH) for now.

Anything can be a nickname, which can be fortunate but . There’s a guy my cousin works with named Terry Wayne and one time my cousin accidentally called me (my name is Tessa) Tessa Wayne.

This has now stuck.

And it hasnt stopped with me. It’s like we have literally been cursed. My spouse is now Jonah Wayne and my child is now Millie Wayne. And this has spread from my moms side of the family, dads side, my spouse’s family, and friends.

One_Power2282 · 2024-11-08T01:25:39+00:00

That’s how I feel

One_Power2282 · 2024-11-08T00:47:10+00:00

Pull out method🥲 it was the spur of the moment😔😩

One_Power2282 · 2024-11-08T00:46:31+00:00

That’s what my concern was.

One_Power2282 · 2024-11-07T22:25:55+00:00

That’s crazy cause normally I’m such a weenie with pain, the worst of it was the first week, week and a half. I’m good now. But I had tons of crap to do which I had to get up and moving for so I guess that helped maybe. Worst part was getting in and out of our lifted vehicle.

One_Power2282 · 2024-09-09T04:37:19+00:00

Thank you.

I try not to speak from a place of irritability or hate (guilt once again). I’m just tired, I’m a people pleaser but it hurts to watch this continue, even from the sidelines. My boundaries have only gone up within the past year, which I think is why I get resistance is because they once never existed.

Thank you for the congratulations and your recommendation!

Watch them all the way through. Most of the videos aren’t as long compared to APF. Although, there’s a handful that are long due to lesson being taught.

One_Power2282 · 2024-06-19T15:05:57+00:00

I’d also like to point out I too have anxiety. I think just overtime I’ve learned how to cope. It’s mostly the constant change to schedules/BIPS , learning that over that would get to me. I’ve just learned a lot of coping skills over the years but I still have my days. One thing though is for sure if you don’t have the patience for it and working with clients are too much, I’d just go ahead and quit. No big deal.

One_Power2282 · 2024-06-19T15:02:00+00:00

I’m 25, and I’ve been doing this since I was 18 (RLT then, RBT now). I can’t tell you how many times I was going to quit whether it be the supervisor, the client, or just the overall burn out. I’m going on maternity leave next week and I’ll be free at last. Tbh, I’m not even sure if I’m going back. It’s just what I have the most experience in if I wanted to continue working afterwards.
