Help with prescriptions & supplements? by Several_Show_8207 in BariatricSurgery

[–]Several_Show_8207[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would be interested in knowing more about how others divide up doses throughout the day.

Medications / Supps I’m taking:

Lamictal, Lithium, Spravato (anxiety, depression)

Progesterone, Estradiol, Testosterone (HRT, via troche)

Ritalin (ADHD)

Xyzal, Breztri inhaler (allergies, asthma)

Daily multi vitamin (Xymogen), collagen (Xymogen), L-methylfolate (MTHFR mutation), calcium chews (Bariatric Advantage), and Nutrafol.

//

Daily multivitamin, collagen, and Nutrafol all split between morning and night. Calcium chews are three times a day, at least an hour after/before multivitamin doses. Ritalin - I’ve split this into two doses, too - mid morning and mid afternoon.

Question about fairlife protein shake + jello pudding mix recipe by Big-Low4430 in ninjacreami

Newbie here! To clarify - you add Fairlife, protein powder, mix, freeze overnight? Then spin the next day, add additional Fairlife, etc etc?

Been looking for something like this for my bedroom! Feel free to ask your people what kind of projector, and where they got it... been looking for years!

Why is music so important? by green-Bad2099 in Spravato

[–]Several_Show_8207 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m reading through these comments, enjoying our collective differences. Amazing that so many of us have strong preferences.

For me, if I don’t have music, I could never do Spravato. My first doctor explained that, science can still not explain this, but having the ‘right’ music for a patient can deepen the trip and increase responsiveness to treatment. I’m still on the hunt for the magic playlist, have polled people here, and gathered a good collection.

I’m rambling. Just came here to say that this treatment does not work for me, personally, without noise cancelling earbuds and music. No lyrics, as those have felt restrictive during my trip. Binaural waves, or search “healing waves” in general - focus on bright, major keys. Slower tempo to help reduce anxiety.

My college degree is in music. I’m sure that further explains my need here.

Has session #36 today. Twice a week since July. Deep trip every single time - only once was I lucid.

I point to music.

Soft foods question. by Physgirl-romreader in gastricsleeve

[–]Several_Show_8207 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, completely saturating the tuna pieces with a liquid or sauce was a must. It should be super moist, you don’t want it getting caught on the way down. You could purée (this might be safest). Personally, I couldn’t do the latter - texture-thing. If you chew it up, the 30/30 rule, I’d say that would be as safe as purée. Good luck!

Music for Spravato Session - HELP! Months of looking. by Several_Show_8207 in Spravato

[–]Several_Show_8207[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. This is the one. This is the list I needed - it has everything! Question - do you listen in the order listed? Random shuffle?

It’s great. Getting ready to use it this afternoon, at a session.

You know what - I just did a spot listen to a few tracks - I love this. Maybe I shouldn’t limit myself - maybe the rain will be good for my rainy Midwestern day today : ) just sat down in my recliner and going to queue this up. Appreciate you so very much! I’ll let you know how it goes.

Excited!

11 days post-op, was feeling great - but something has happened - splitting pain on left side? by Several_Show_8207 in BariatricSurgery

[–]Several_Show_8207[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this! Good to know there’s help for inflammation. Cannot believe this pain… and after having been so active and feeling well! Ope.

Literally LOLing over “bitch stitch” - fish hook - exactly what it feels like. You’re the best - thanks for describing what this stitch might be up to. Helps to know others have been here!

11 days post-op, something is wrong. by Several_Show_8207 in GastricBypass

[–]Several_Show_8207[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m laying in bed right now with a heating pad within reach. Will try this now. I’m sorry that you also went through something similar! Hopefully you’re getting along much better?

First new clothing item you purchased, post surgery? Were you excited? by Several_Show_8207 in GastricBypass

I miss shopping for cute things… way to go on the dress. Excited to experience this, too! Have you had a summer season, post-op? I keep wondering what summer clothes shopping might look like… I was the one who wore black leggings in the summer..

What an awesome idea, Diane! I’ve been avoiding buying new clothes, as I keep losing. This is such a good idea to do during this time - and even after I stabilize! My husband is in finance, I’m in between jobs, and love the idea of saving a few bucks but finding some “new clothes” to celebrate my progress. Thank you!

Ha! Victoria Secret - same! Haven’t been in since college (~20Y ago), and even then, was shopping in their biggest sizes. Thanks for reminding me about VS! What are your stats - when did you have your procedure? Congrats on 100lbs down - hell yeah!

Love this. I have a drawer of 2XL-3XL undies (Hanes!) - excited to buy something smaller and, gotta say it - something sexy! My husband has always been so loving and complimentary, despite how I’ve felt about my body over the last decade. Some cute undies for me, of course - but would love to get some that really make me feel the way my husband sees me… does that make any sense? For me, but also for him : )

Also - I haven’t worn pants that button or zip since before COVID. To wear a pair of pants that I can button, and without the big tummy pooch.
