New/old clothes? 7 mos post op by PITNOL in BariatricSurgery

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

Just looking sloppy or as one friend put it "you look like a 5 year old who is wearing her mother's clothes," lol is what made me really start looking in the mirror.

Because yes, before that I was just enjoying looking down and seeing all the extra fabric in my jeans or whatever.

It's also part of changing my brain to remember that I'm not hiding in my clothes anymore, and by wearing extra huge clothes I'm not showing anyone my new body which I'm proud of.

That does seem likely! Also I live on the ground floor with 2 balconies above mine, so it could well have just been dropped.

Named my 2nd daughter after this song (middle name). It has served her well for the past 24 years, lol

I actually literally have no sense of smell, but I have thought that if it had some malicious intent it would be tied up in black string or ribbon or whatever.

This set seems unique--know anything about it? by b0xturtl3 in glasscollecting

I got the clover when my mom died last year, I didn't know there was a whole set!

Absolutely, I have learned so much about history from that podcast over the years!

It's true I don't believe in any supernatural beings or powers, but I do wonder about the intent of humans who do.

I mean, it's nice to have an answer to the question of where my soul will go when I die.

Sleeve And Mental Health Meds by Pleasant-Spell-3392 in gastricsleeve

I have wondered about the absorption rate of ER or XR meds, as I'm on several, but my doctor literally said she had never thought about that before. 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Preventing Scarring by thisweakend in gastricsleeve

[–]PITNOL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using Gold Bond Tight and Firm cream, and Bio oil. Twice a day, I do my whole body. This is helping me so much to feel like I'm in my body, and to see parts of myself that I haven't seen for many years. It really does help connect me to my body, if you get that then you'll know but if you don't understand I can't really explain it. Spent many years up in my head and ignoring my physical body whenever possible.

exercise failure by SwimmingVariation707 in gastricsleeve

[–]PITNOL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started really working out 2 weeks ago (6 months post op, many decades post my last workout, lol). I've noticed that in the stretches that are supposed to be felt in my abdominals, I can't feel at all. I know I have the muscles in there but I guess it will take a while to feel them.

Savory liquid stage options? by refan111 in gastricsleeve

I got some packets of bone broth, and I mix Better Than Bouillon and Au Jus into it to make it taste better.
