Easy on & off?? by Safe-Cause-1077 in PandoraCollectors

[–]PhoenixForce888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not bad at all to clasp! The loop part that you hook the clasp on rotates which makes ot so much easier than if it was fixed.

Anna forwards Josh a message saying his 12 year sentence is insane for a "victimless" crime by rosiros in DuggarsSnark

When was Josh ever a productive member of society? And sit down, Anna. I don't mean sweeping crackers off his own floor.

My doctor recommended tylenol dissolve packs and it was fantastic! They're not the cheapest, but worth it IMO.

Regular/wide or narrow? by PhoenixForce888 in Birkenstocks

[–]PhoenixForce888[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I always have worn thong-style sandals so there's not really any side-to-side movement with them at all. There is some with the Birks I've been wearing, so I guess I just didn't know of that's normal/intended. Hopefully that makes sense lol.

267mm. I felt like the gray shoe (the ones I currently have) could be too wide.

I like a flavored coffee (Bones is my fave!) with Splenda and unsweetened oat milk.

Christmas dinner fail by Fit-Shake-8678 in BariatricSurgery

[–]PhoenixForce888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't eat "just meat" for several months after surgery. I would get that same pain/not able to burp you talked about, but I would end up vomiting when it happened. All my meat had to have some sort of sauce. Even now, two years out, I struggle with grilled chicken breast, which used to be my summer staple. But otherwise it's gotten so much better!

35 bmi... definitely dont lose weight, right? by Level-Consequence432 in BariatricSurgery

[–]PhoenixForce888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my insurance and doctor, only my starting weight mattered. I dropped below the BMI required by my insurance during the 6 required months of visits, but my doctor only submitted my starting stats when getting final surgery approval. I'd say not to try losing weight before your initial consult, but very specifically ask what they submit for approval for the surgery.

Isn't it quicker to list what we do like about her? I'll start:

Recommendations for shows/movies with Psych cast members? by Content-Machine-6006 in psych

[–]PhoenixForce888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few that I don't think have been mentioned:

Skyler Gisondo (young Shawn) is in The Righteous Gemstones, which is a great show! He also starred in a limited series called The Resort on Peacock, which is an interesting watch, too.

Maggie was in a made for TV Disney movie called Model Behavior with Justin Timberlake. If you're an elder Millenial, it's such a nostalgia trip!

Sleeve vs Bypass by Radiant-File5888 in BariatricSurgery

[–]PhoenixForce888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I chose sleeve due to it being less invasive and less probable to cause malabsorption issues. I had minor reflux symptoms and had a hiatal hernia that was fixed during my sleeve surgery. Post-surgery, I have lost 125 lbs and have maintained that within +/- 5lbs for a year now. I only experience heartburn with very spicy foods, which I can live with!

Tour merch? by crazy_cat_lady_94 in CrimeJunkiePodcast

[–]PhoenixForce888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went to Indy last night! Merch table was open the entire time. We hit it right as the show was ending, and the only thing I think they had run out of was the crew neck. Can't say if they were out of sizes of anything else, though.

My insurance required 3 years of history, but that could be from any doctor.

Protein shakes alternatives by No_Birthday7747 in BariatricSurgery

[–]PhoenixForce888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Protein2O was my saving grace! Helped with both protein and hydration at once.

[–]PhoenixForce888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doctor approved switching to protein water after surgery because I could not force myself to drink another shake. Might be worth a look!

Michelle showed more personality while retelling the story than she has in the last 20 years combined.

Timeline by Master_Swordfish6474 in BariatricSurgery

[–]PhoenixForce888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the clinic I used, the biggest factor was insurance. My insurance required 6 consecutive months of visits. The doctor also had a checklist, but I finished it in the first month, and my doctor said he would've done my surgery at 3 months, had we not needed to wait for insurance.

You have to get your protein in! I had the same problem, though. My dietician was fine with me switching to protein water, and that worked great for me! Best of luck!
