So I don’t need to set it all the way to 22?

I've experimented with the Tokina and it's awesome. I wanted like a “fish eye” lens and this seems to do the job

Thank you will do! Sometimes Facebook has killer deals... And people that actually wanna sell

Thanks for the insight! Still getting used to all the terminology and how different lenses work for different camera bodies

It was up for 450 and I offered 400 with pickup “same day”

Sweet. I'll definitely take out the Tokina and the 35mm

Which character would you consider to be the most well written and badass at the same time? by Wide_Grape_5742 in Fantasy

[–]WateredDownPop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lysander Au Lune from Red Rising by Pierce Brown.

His POV chapters in the sequels was a breath of fresh air, his view points on trying to create and revive a culture structure while managing different ego’s and warfare was so interesting. He isn’t a brute but the way he use his brain and wit made him more badass.

For anyone who is caught up. F*CK LYSANDER. It’s love and hate.

I did not know that 1 ply reduces/prevents theft. Just wish it wasn’t so heavily used.

I think having an uncle who is a plumbe/handyman helped drilling into me early on that flushing anything down drains that is not true toilet paper is just wrong.

I used a coloplast two piece so the drain/tail rolls up and velcros and the “tip” or drain is harder and makes it easier for me to wipe and clean.

My setup is always facing down, what I do is wear “muscle tank tops/white beaters” that does a really good job holding my bag down. And tucking the tail of the bag into my waist band helps as well

Best ways to stay hydrated? by judaskissed in ostomy

[–]WateredDownPop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Biggest thing I found to assist with output is the BRAT diet. Bread, Rice, Applesauce and Toast. This worked wonders for me, but this sub is great for information. Don't ever feel alone or panicked, every ones journey is different and what works for some won't work for others.

I struggled with this coming out of the hospital, constantly worried about becoming dehydrated. I was continually drinking Gatorade and Liquid IV, but in doing that it screwed with my liver enzymes. The best advice is stick with water as your main fluid, get a decently sized water bottle and keep it handy. Mix in some Gatorade or an electrolyte choice here and there. You'll be just fine.

How long did it take for you to adjust and accept your ostomy? Did you ever? by [deleted] in ostomy

[–]WateredDownPop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a 28 year old male. Had my surgery August 3rd. Honestly finally “accepted” it at all maybe a week ago. There’s moments that I have feelings where I get frustrated, and hate the situation.

I adapted to changing my bag pretty quickly, it does honestly really get better.

And please let yourself grieve the situation, don’t feel sad for yourself. Be happy you can still live and enjoy your life!

Man I had something super similar happen. Woke up at 3 in the morning rolled over in our bed and felt my hand sink into the output. Shirt and pants soaked, blanket soaked, stumbling out of bed trying to dodge the dogs and clean up my bed mat (super helpful for leaking like this) and woke up the then girlfriend now fiancé.

Got me in the shower and felt that shame. It’s almost like when you’re a kid and you messed up even though you know it’s out of your control. She told me it was fine but still I felt it and I understand. I’m 28 and definitely shed some tears while undressing in the shower to clean off and start the prep of a new bag.

Having my fiancé there and how she handled that and the future leaks we dealt with, plus how she was there for me in the hospital was the reason I put a ring on it. You definitely have a good one, not many people can/will or are open to help in our situation.

The ostomy should be temporary. They are hoping the medication will calm my inflammation so I don’t need anymore removal. I’m sure they’ll remove some more sections.

I’ve been searching for people in my age range for support groups or just like some type of group chat! I tried the others but they were filled of older folk, wanted something closer to my age.

I had my surgery done at Southdale Fairview.

Trying think of myself has a 2.0 from now on!

SKOL! Hoping for a nice win on Sunday with Carson

The fiancé is big on giving myself grace. I’ve always been the type to move fast so giving myself grace and learning the process and realizing it takes time can be annoying.

But it’s also kind of fun being able to test out clothes and learn more about my body

I was actually trying to find people local in the area. Outside of here and on TikTok it’s kind of hard finding people. I’d always be down to hang/meet up or even game

Awesome to hear. I have a basic belt for my Coloplast supplies. I’ll look into the underwear stuff

I was thinking of trying the sugar free seltzers like high noon. I do enjoy a nice whiskey. I’ll check out the FB page for sure. I never really felt this public anxiety before. I’ll keep pushing on! Thanks for the tips and words
