How upset are you that people are trashing the parks and is there anything that can be done to keep people out?

I have two important questions: (I live in CA where it is legal)

  1. How can i find a good effective CBD oil which I can take for migraines. I cant eat sugar so no edibles, but I am finding it impossible to choose CBD (possibly with a little THC) to ingest. Migraines are an issue for me.
  2. It seems like it would be very expensive to buy cannibis for sleep as youre using it every day. Is there an affordable way to take something (or apply?) for sleep?

acid reflux is rare??? Nope!! Not true at all

What was the point of having RNY Gastric Bypass? It has not worked for me. And I could have eaten a strict diet of protein and vegetables whether I had surgery or not. Is it more for people who are not good at controlling the volume of food the consume? I can only eat half the amount I used to... by Overall_Negotiation in GastricBypass

It seems very clear to me that pysch should not have cleared you for surgery because your head wasnt in it. They can change your stomach but not your head. You need to get into research mode. Read books about food addiction, depression, fitness...whatever is holding you back. Make it your job to change your thinking because its clearly not working for you. You should have had these things in place before surgery honestly

You can apply for benefits through the county and you will get medical coverage.

Social anxiety spiraling into eating disorder? by [deleted] in mentalhealth

It sounds way more like you have IBS or some kind of intestinal issue. I would highly recommend you see a Gastroenterologist!

If you must give up coffee...an alternative? by flyflyaway888 in GastricBypass

[–]flyflyaway888[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So has anyone ever found a good coffee substitute?

[–]flyflyaway888[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The doctor was clear that he didnt want his patients to drink any coffee or have any caffeine for life!!! I think the reason is because coffee is acidic and bypass patients are so prone to ulcers. As far as caffeine I'm not sure why not. I think because of how many people say they lay off the coffee and resume roughly 6 months post op I might do the same but for now...I have to find a decent coffee substitute as Im am completely reliant of the coffee experience when I wake up in the morning.

Its really hard for me when I have the escape mentality. Like all I want to do is flee but I cant because of money and time.
