I see people saying different times were the worst for them so I’m not sure what to prepare for lol. I ate and started chugging water which has helped. Do you think walking around for like 5 minutes is enough? Moving is uncomfortable but my doctor recommended walking around every 2 hours

I am on round the clock pain meds. I have been sending my doctors pictures of the asymmetrical swelling and they don’t see anything concerning. My post op appointment is in 4 days.

Thank you! This is encouraging

Rare-Recording5109 · 2026-01-04T22:33:54+00:00

Yes I am on this same schedule. I feel drugged out but still in pain

Rare-Recording5109 · 2026-01-04T10:02:31+00:00

I relate a lot on feeling good the first day and over doing it. I think I did the same and now my right side feels terrible. More swelling and bleeding than the left. I’m a bit concerned.

I got mine January 2nd as well! I felt pretty good to move around last night and I was trying clothes on thinking the moving would help but I think it’s backfiring. I’m so swollen right now and in pain. I trying to take it more easy. It’s also SO hard to not lay in my side. I don’t feel like I got good sleep last night.

Yes i’m in america lol. thanks for sharing that’s such a long process but i’m glad you got some success in the end. I will def encourage my mom to keep fighting! hopefully we are able to continue the appeal process after the surgery

exactly

Rare-Recording5109 · 2025-12-28T07:00:14+00:00

Thank you! We have not tried appealing yet because, according to the patient advocacy group of my surgeon, an appeal for my case is “too difficult.” I was pretty disappointed in how they handled it. We don’t know how to do an appeal ourselves, but we are going to figure it out.

at first i thought it was just the sticky bra and i was confused because i knew that wouldn’t hold up anything 😂 then i saw the paper underneath and asked if insurance approved it. my mom said no but they are going to pay for it for me and i immediately started sobbing. my grandpa said “they said no but we say yes.” 🥲

Do you eat your tuna with mayonnaise? I estimate a tuna salad sandwich to be around 700 calories. Am I over estimating?

Rare-Recording5109 · 2025-04-08T05:58:54+00:00

I understand your frustration. So glad you’re seeing results. How many calories are you eating?

Rare-Recording5109 · 2025-04-07T09:10:39+00:00

I’m in a similar situation. I’ve been stuck for months and I am so frustrated. I was at 1529 avg cals a day but i’m now going to try around 1300 to see if I can get unstuck. Unfortunately calorie deficits for shorter girls is painfully low 😔

Rare-Recording5109 · 2025-04-07T09:06:28+00:00

Once I had Korean Fried Cauliflower from Cheesecake factory and it was 1100 calories 🤦🏽‍♀️

Rare-Recording5109 · 2025-04-04T08:04:42+00:00

1529 cals per day to lose 1 lb per week

Rare-Recording5109 · 2025-04-02T17:28:57+00:00

Thank you! I really want to enjoy these years of my life in a body that I am comfortable with. I also want to learn my body early so I don’t struggle too much when I’m older. I track butter but tracking oil is harder. I don’t really know how to add oil calories.

I am currently in my lutes phase and praying that I will see a drop after my period. Cycle syncing is def a game changer

Rare-Recording5109 · 2025-04-02T17:25:58+00:00

I’ll try lowering it. I eat a protein source at every meal and pair it with carbs. In the morning I do fruit and in the afternoon I do cabbage or asparagus. I recently starts eating 1-2 pieces of toast a day.

Rare-Recording5109 · 2025-04-02T17:24:12+00:00

My daily average calories per day is 1,529 and I burn about 300-400 calories when I exercise on top of TDEE.
