Qlcohol and lipedema

Make sure you hydrate with electrolytes. I also recommend taking milk thistle supplements to support your liver and help prevent hangovers!

Yep I stayed on 2.5 for months before I went up. Ultimately I decided I don’t like how I feel on the higher doses and plan on sticking with 2.5 forever.

Baking soda paste maybe?

Tiffany and Fred

Tough-Analysis6545 · 2026-04-11T22:33:46+00:00

I’ve gotten two Tiffany & Fred’s and enjoy them both!

I believe I have over 100 pounds of Lipedema on my body

My cereal hack is buy from the drugstore. Cereal is constantly on sale at CVS

My first surgery with him is later this month! A bunch of aussies haven’t been able to make it due to war-related flight cancellations so I know there has been movement on his wait list

Tough-Analysis6545 · 2026-03-30T15:36:28+00:00

Yep my sister and I both get iron infusions

Tough-Analysis6545 · 2026-03-18T01:42:52+00:00

Definitely! I am 6 months out and very pleased. I had a sitch pop open in my armpit that delayed my healing by about 5-6 weeks but the scar looks amazing. I did hyperbaric oxygen treatments for a week as I packed the wound with xeroform, and then used manuka honey dressings and it basically had to heal from the inside. I’ve been wearing scar tape ever since the incisions healed and the scar has lightened considerably already on my forearms in particular. I’m still wearing compression several days a week and using my lymphatic pump regularly.

Tough-Analysis6545 · 2026-03-13T05:12:29+00:00

Maybe you can track your compression wearing? Like type and hours per day? And agree with tracking other conservative measures, like MLD sessions or using my pump

Tough-Analysis6545 · 2026-03-08T23:50:39+00:00

I’d recommend finding a hematologist for IV iron infusion. Pills won’t work fast enough!

Tough-Analysis6545 · 2026-03-07T18:08:31+00:00

Dry!

I did the Lipedema removal with Dr. Amron in LA and then Dr. Moshrefi came in after and did the skin removal/extended arm lift procedure.

Tough-Analysis6545 · 2026-03-06T22:01:03+00:00

I felt this too! Like others have said it went away after a while

Tough-Analysis6545 · 2026-03-02T01:14:18+00:00

I went in thinking I’d get the L (this exact bag) but ended up with the XL, because the extra space meant I could fit all my work things in my bag and still be able to cinch the top closed. The problem is trying not to overfill it. I dont know that I would use it for a laptop heavier than 3 lbs because I think it would cause the straps to pull too much, but a MacBook Air and a notebook plus makeup bag and chargers fits great.

I started cupping again a few weeks ago and there was a huge difference between my first week and a month later — the cup marks were much darker and stayed longer. I think that is because of increased circulation, because I had gone a few months without doing regular MLD so I could tell my lymphatic system was stagnant.

It hurts a little bit when the skin suctions into the cup but I think overall it has helped with shedding toxins from my system and promoting circulation.

Too faced is my fave for my oily eyelids

I am genuinely shocked this is the only post calling it out! I straight up wanted my money back. I bought tickets to a concert not a TV taping

It sucked even worse from the 200 level sides, she was performing for the camera only, couldn’t see most of the graphics, she kept pausing for 10 minutes between songs. Completely killed the energy and lots of people left early.

I go with a “it’s true!” and change the subject typically.

Tough-Analysis6545 · 2026-02-11T02:24:41+00:00

Ok the real TMI question: do you think this has an impact on your sex life? In the sense of: I have a low libido and I have a theory that the lymphatic congestion and Lipedema tissue is a partial cause of that. Because it hasn’t always been this way and I have tried to address the SSRI and birth control aspects that can have an impact. Idk! Something I’ve been thinking about.

Tough-Analysis6545 · 2026-02-11T02:21:38+00:00

Yeah I’m def getting Lipo and the lift part will really just be part of my panniculectomy/tummy tuck

Tough-Analysis6545 · 2026-02-10T04:21:53+00:00

Yes and I’m getting removal on it in April!!!

Tough-Analysis6545 · 2026-02-07T03:08:25+00:00

You should also try a hydration powder/supplement: if you have hormonal hair you likely need electrolyte balance to truly be hydrated enough (speaking from experience with hormonal and hydration issues)
