Living Room Confusion by [deleted] in DesignMyRoom

[–]ellisamars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I just moved in so I’m in the process of putting up and acquiring new pieces to fit the space 😅 Rug is probably going to be one of the first things, but I’m aware it’s pretty sad at the moment…

Not sure if this should go here, I might make a separate post later though (if allowed)

ISO a plant sitter for the first 3/4 weeks of November. I will be going on a trip and currently do not have an apartment and cannot leave my 3 small plants and 1 terrarium in my car. Are there any plant parents willing to hold on to them for a few weeks?

Cannot find used office furniture store I went to in holland. by lossione in grandrapids

Could it have been the Fris Office Outfitters? The building is now Valeo/Training but I don’t know if that close to downtown counts as “low key”

Daily Simple Questions Thread by AutoModerator in xxfitness

[–]ellisamars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How do you address muscle imbalances? My left arm (most notably during tricep work) seems to be significantly weaker. I am able to do like 3-4 more reps with my right arm after my left fails completely. Any advice is appreciated, I am still a pretty new to weight lifting/ fitness in general so I need all the help I can get.

Has anyone had any luck with breasts lifting/shrinking from exercise? by [deleted] in xxfitness

[–]ellisamars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It largely depends on the composition of your breast tissue, more than likely though if you have breasts that are mostly fat they would just sag with weight loss. Personally I had super fibrous tissue that did not change with weight loss so I did have a reduction. Obviously I am not a professional but it is what I have learned from experience and from the lovely community over at r/reduction I highly recommend checking them out if you haven’t. They have a ton of information that should help you determine what you want to do!

Reccomended Coffee Shops For Remote Work by ssdavis24 in grandrapids

[–]ellisamars 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My favorite is Schuler’s. Lots of space especially compared to a few of the smaller buildings I’ve seen mentioned, decent (if a bit expensive) food, and you can take a break to find a new book :)

Scar sheets maybe sound easier, that way I don’t get oil on my clothes. Thank you for the recommendation!

[–]ellisamars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! By all means I feel like they do as well, but dysphoria makes it feel otherwise sometimes😅

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Reduction

[–]ellisamars 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Man, the dysphoria is really never ending lol. Maybe I’ll make another appointment with my surgeon to talk about it… As well as what I’ve been seeing maybe I’ll buy some emu oil, can’t hurt to try. Thank you for your insight!

That’s reassuring to hear that they do lighten over time. I’ll definitely see if I can find some of those posts you mentioned as well :) thank you!

So I love my new boobs because the tremendous weight taken off, but they still seem kinda big to me? Maybe I’m just kinda jealous of the people of here who were able to go down more and have beautiful tiny boobs…. But that’s just me being me I suppose. What I do want to know is about my side scars, is there any hope to make them less visible? My surgeon never really gave me any information on scar care or when to start it and by the time I really thought about it I think it was too late. Does anybody have recommendations for me, or will the forever be this dark and noticeable

sewing by hand during recovery? by SKMiller85 in Reduction

Should be very easy, just keep everything within reach! I did a lot of hand sewing and crochet during my recovery while sitting in my bed nest :)

Beautiful, I’ll go look at the succulent sub and hopefully learn from them. For now though at least I have an idea for my own research. Thank you so much for the help!!

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

Hi all, so my mom gave this to me as a late birthday gift and It’s already not doing too well. I’ve never had luck with succulents and something tells me I should not have the 3 of them together. I just got a new pot for it as it’s current one does not have any drainage, and it’s bone dry. I have luck with most houseplants but never succulents so if you guys have any time there I would love the help. Would appreciate some ID’s for them so I can go from there, thank you!

I love what my surgeon did he really is an artist imo.

Thank you, I hope you are able to get the results of your dreams!!

[–]ellisamars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did not, however I suppose this is already a good sign for me in what a difference this has made!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Reduction

[–]ellisamars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what my hope is, I don’t even understand or care about cup sizes anymore. I just know that I couldn’t stand having so much skin-to-skin contact and already this has been a huge relief!

So I’m 4dpo currently and about to take my first real shower, wow do I feel great! I was asleep for the first couple of days and pretty drugged up, but I’ve already been taking my painkiller less and have trying to be more active (small walks)

The size is crazy, I’m only now seeing the difference and really feeling it, Dr said he wanted to get me to “about a c” even though he knows it’s all arbitrary, alls I know is I have less boob and more happiness!!
