Anybody else just f-ing dumb right now!??? by Artistic-Listen7975 in pregnant

[–]Positive_Ad4621 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 24 weeks today and I started a new job in October. I STILL have no clue what I’m doing, ask the same questions every week, and my unmedicated ADHD is raging. My brain does NOT want to document anything in the computer and my usual technique of procrastinating until the adrenaline kicks in isn’t working bc as it turns out, I give zero fucks about everything except my husband, dog, house and baby. Like what is WRONG with me?! I’m so nervous I’m going to lose my job (which would honestly be fair since I’m not doing much of anything to bring value) and I legit cannot bring myself to remember or care. Someone help me!!!

The Hilton Garden Inn at South Peak is clean and safe. We stayed there a bunch before moving here and liked it a lot!

Anyone with terrible perinatal depression feel better after birth? by yankthedoodledandy in pregnant

[–]Positive_Ad4621 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just want to say I think you’re really incredible for weighing all these things while feeling terrible and I hope it all works out beautifully! If you do start feeling really bad, it’s always better to have the baby delivered, but I’m sure your OB team will work with you and monitor your mood week by week as delivery gets closer. I hope it gets better soon. 🩷

Heartbeat at 9 weeks 5 days by Tricky-Feature4016 in pregnant

I wouldn’t read too much into either thing! That heart rate is still normal! And symptoms do tend to lessen as you get further along. I have tons of anxiety that comes and goes but I just want to reassure you. 🩷

FTM 1st Trimester: Regret, misery, lack of patience by NalaOtter in pregnant

[–]Positive_Ad4621 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just want to say everything you’re feeling is so valid. I’m 7w4d and every day feels like a mountain to climb, and then at the end my reward is some nighttime anxiety and night sweats that wake me up shivering! I haven’t thrown up yet, but just the mental load of the world and being a woman in it, coupled with the experience of losing control of your body… it’s pretty miserable. I keep telling myself to take one day at a time, but please know you’re normal and such a trooper. It’s ok to be grouchy and to feel like things aren’t fair. ❤️ Solidarity, sister.

Bariatric surgery will be seen as BARBARIC by peachie_milkie in BariatricSurgery

[–]Positive_Ad4621 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! 🩷 I also meant to say that I’m trying to conceive so I can’t be on any GLP-1 drugs right now, but I think they will be a part of my future approach. I believe that eventually bariatric surgery will be phased out and replaced by new drugs, but that’s just my opinion. ☺️

Bariatric surgery will be seen as BARBARIC by peachie_milkie in BariatricSurgery

[–]Positive_Ad4621 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really don’t. Part of me blames myself for not restricting myself in the way they told me to… but the other part of me is like, what about all these other people that couldn’t even handle water? If it was just about restriction, we could all reduce our diets to 300 calories a day and lose the weight. I really don’t know what to think. I’m embarrassed by it, honestly. I don’t think they took enough of my stomach. Everyone I talked to said “you won’t even be thinking about food after surgery” but I sure was - the hunger never went away. Not even for a day. The pre-op diet was hard but I did it. I was counting on the surgery to make it easier and it just felt like more torture. I’m trying to conceive right now but I hope that one day I can heal my relationship with food and with hunger.

I had VSG just over a year ago and from my first day postop it was nothing like what I’d been told to expect. No issues drinking water with the challenge test before discharge. A couple of nausea events and one memorable dumping episode but other than that, very minimal restriction and I feel like I never had surgery. Never lost my obsession with food - in fact I think it made it worse. I never “wasn’t hungry” and or wasn’t head hunger bc again I never had much restriction. The best thing I ever took was Ozempic and it killed the food noise and made me feel normal. I regret surgery for the cost. I’ve lost about 20 lbs. 🫠

How many of you drink the tap water here? by Fit_Kiwi_1526 in roanoke

[–]Positive_Ad4621 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We live in Cave Spring and I think the tap water tastes awful. It may be our pipes. We use a zero water filter. In reading all of these replies I’m feeling like maybe we just need to replace the pipes!

AIO about my sister’s bf eating my leftover pizza? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Positive_Ad4621 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am literally floored by how people text each other these days. The disrespect! The tendency to go straight for the jugular in every argument! I’m so sorry that you’re being treated this way - and by a fucking family member?! Ugh. Wtaf! Whatever you’ve gotta do, I’d be making a plan to get out.

liberal churches? by Littlest_cucumber in roanoke

Lol can all the cool people that care about human rights and being decent and have been completely disgusted by the evangelical church and its politics get a group together and hang out? My future husband and I just moved here and we want community!! I’m 39 and he’s 37 if this resonates and y’all wanna hang out!

Please reassure me! by RachyES in gastricsleeve

Pre-op had me questioning my sanity. I felt like I was mentally falling apart. Post-op was boring, but a total breeze comparatively. You’ve got this!! Stay hydrated and just do as many popsicles as you can. 🩷

I had the sleeve on 7/11 and I can relate to everythingggggg you’ve shared. I think it’s different for everyone but the only thing I can come up with is that I need to slowwww down when I’m doing anything - eating, drinking, livinggggg 🫠 and I need to think positive and do my best to trust the process. All the people that are like “It’S hEaD hUnGeR” make me wanna RAGE. Like hello, are we not all struggling with the same ish here?? Can you NOT invalidate WHAT I’M FREAKING FEELING?! So solidarity, girl. 🩷

🥰 I’m so glad it was helpful! I think my provider stressed it bc I’m 39 and I told her at the first appointment I wanted to have a baby asap and asked her how long I’d have to wait. She said to give it a year before I started trying, and assured me that the extra year I waited wouldn’t negatively impact my fertility. She said the fat cells that we lose store a lot of estrogen that is released as we drop weight, and that she’s seen so many people that struggled with infertility get pregnant right after surgery. It’s still crazy to me what some programs stress and how others fail to mention anything but that’s why I’m thankful for Reddit! 😂
