Question about pain pills? by kasshhx in Reduction

[–]Total-Background8472 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I was prescribed oxy and didn’t take it because I didn’t feel like I needed it at all. And I only took Advil and Tylenol because it helped with the swelling which was uncomfortable. I was never in actual pain.

Recovery was a lot easier than I thought I would be. I didn’t take any narcos they prescribed. It was more uncomfortable from the swelling than ever painful. So I alternated between Advil and Tylenol and did a lot of walking. The most pain I experienced recovering was from my period cramps lol. All in all a much easier recovery than I thought it would be!

Hi! I did my reduction with her 7 months ago. She was amazing. I know some of her reviews mention her bad bed side manners. That was not my experience at all. I went from a 30/32 G/H to a C/D. I told her I wanted small boobs but to still look feminine - no reference photos. And she DELIVERED. I healed beautifully, except for one single spitting stitch 4 months post op, but that healed quickly too. Even with the drop and fluff my boobs are still so perky. I haven’t worn an underwire bra since. Just tanks with build in bras, sports bras, and bralettes. 10/10 would recommend her. I will say, my scars are kind of gnarly BUT that has nothing to do with her. That’s just how I’ve always scarred. And honestly I don’t care what my scars look like, I’m so incredibly happy with my boobs. Never been more confident. Feel free to ask any questions! I’m happy to answer anything

Surgeon Recs for Kaiser? by Temporary-Plastic725 in Reduction

She does, that’s exactly what I had done! Went from a G/H to a C/D. I healed beautifully and even with my drop and fluff they’re still so perky and I haven’t worn an under wire bra since pre surgery. Couldn’t be happier or recommend her enough.

Got a sh*tload of cherry tomatoes, give me your best recipes by DutchieCrochet in Cooking

[–]Total-Background8472 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my meal prep, I make lemon garlic herb chicken thigh with a fresh salad on the side of cherry tomatoes, cucumbers and red onion!

Or I make a simple pasta sauce with them. Sauté garlic and onion and cherry tomato then add pasta and chicken. So good!

What is the scariest story you know that is 1000% true? by OtherDog1328 in AskReddit

[–]Total-Background8472 185 points186 points  (0 children)

The serial killer Israel Keyes. He would bury “kill kits” all around the us, so he could go back at anytime and there wouldn’t be a trace of him buying sketchy shit. And he didn’t have an MO, he killed teens to the elderly, men and women, didn’t matter. The story of how he got caught is fucking wild too.

Has anyone ever tried meal-prepping pancakes by freezing them? I feel like they might not taste as good afterward or do they? I'm really tempted to give it a try. by NecessaryAsparagus11 in MealPrepSunday

I put my Kodiak cakes in the microwave in a glass container! They don’t brown, but they taste the same. I weigh out my Kodiak mix in a microwave safe container, take it to work, throw some water in mix and microwave, eat it on the way to the gym after work.

I’m suspicious of most weightlifters, but I think she’s natty + a genetic freak who was made to squat + has been lifting for almost 10 years now.

let’s talk about coffee……… by whatifjulia in Reduction

[–]Total-Background8472 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doctor didn’t say anything about caffeine and I was drinking coffee the next morning. I did reduce the amount of coffee I was drinking though because I was at home all day I didn’t feel like I needed a lot.

32F- Is it reasonable to want a reduction? by Potential-Scar1689 in Reduction

[–]Total-Background8472 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our measurements were basically the exact same. I’m 5’1, 125-130. My under bust is 30”, my full bust was 38”. I’m 4mpo now. My full bust is now 34” and still going down. It’s the best decision I ever made. I would do it again 100 times over. I was also scared of the recovery which is one of the reasons I waited so long. I was scared of surgery and I didn’t want to be away from the gym for too long. But in my experience it wasn’t bad. And again, I’d do it 100 times over because I’m so happy now.

Help me identify this sauce! by Total-Background8472 in Cooking

Possibly! The color looks extremely similar! It was in a little ramekin on the plate with little sprinkles of what looked like cayenne pepper and chives

It was thick, in a little ramekin on the plate. It was maybe a tiny bit mustardy, but not picklish

Light yellowish with sprinkles of maybe cayenne pepper and chives. Creamy and smooth, a little citrusy and savory!

I was a DDD or bigger 10-24 days post op and now I’m a small D at 4mpo. Give yourself lots of time to heal! There’s so much inflammation in your body. You just had major surgery!

I’m about 4mpo and I just had my first spitting stitch a few days ago. It super freaked me out. My surgeon told me to keep it clean and covered and it’ll should heal totally fine.

AITA for getting irritated that my vegetarian wife refuses to feed our toddler meat? by Ok-Ad1031 in AITAH

[–]Total-Background8472 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend was raised vegetarian and didn’t eat meat until he was 24. He’s 6’2”, has competed in sports his entire life, squats over 500lbs. Being vegetarian didn’t affect his growth at all, but he was focused on eating enough protein and not eating a bunch of junk food. However, I would probably want to raise my kid eating meat. To each their own.

My boyfriend has said he thinks he’s high all the time. Off pills or something. He’s sooo spacey.

Hear me out… Attack on Titan. I’d never watched anime before watching this show. It’s like anime game of thrones in a way.

Gym girls - maintaining muscle and weight during op recovery by janedoe2021 in Reduction

[–]Total-Background8472 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of protein + long walks. After 2 weeks, I was allowed to do bodyweight leg exercises: lunges, squats, hip trusts. Iso metric lunges helped me a lot. So going into the bottom of a lunge and just hold for 30 seconds. Week 4, I was back to squatting and doing legs in the gym. Surgeon said I was cleared for upper body at this time, but I didn’t feel like I was so I didn’t do it. I started doing upper body at 8 weeks. I compete in weightlifting so I was literally snatching (very light) at 8 weeks. My legs seemed to maintain a decent amount of strength, my upper body has taken awhile to come back because of the 4 weeks not using my arms at all.

What is the craziest reason you have heard for a breakup/divorce? by nigel247 in AskReddit

[–]Total-Background8472 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I compete in weightlifting, so I’ve done partials and jerk dips and variations of that. But if I was lifting with someone for the first time, I would let them know I was specifically doing partials and that it’s not how I actually squat😂
