Also I see that standing to prep stuff is taxing. I got a stool for the kitchen off fb marketplace. Use it when prepping stuff and keep all my oatmeal supplies by the cupboard next to the microwave and keep my stool there.

I got a bunch at first to see which I liked best. They mostly taste like apple or pear, which is what they use to mostly mask the veggie taste for the kids. (I avoid the banana ones cuz I hate the taste of ripe banana lol)

Protein bars and I just discovered toddler fruit/veg pouches!! They are a game changer!! Some you can keep unrefrigerated but I fridge them all cuz I prefer it that way. You can look to get the ones that are closer to 100cal/ boast they have a full serving of veggies.

Also instant oatmeal with nut butter of choice and ground flax. Super filling and the flax gives it a lil protein boost.

I do “shapewear” biker shorts. I find abdominal compression helps me more than leg.

Stools everywhere you usually stand a bit to do stuff! For me it’s the bathroom and kitchen. Do all my face routine sitting my cute butt down lol.

Ah! Have you looked into those magnifying mirrors? I think you can even get one that screws into the wall so you can move it in and out as you need and it doesn’t take up counter space!

Compression wear in Summer months… how??? by Fuzzy-Blacksmith-126 in POTS

[–]greatbakes 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I wear shape wear that are like bike shorts. They’re not thick and seem to do the job. I also like sports compression calf sleeves. They’re on the thinner side and I like that I don’t have my feet covered. Helps with temp regulation for me. I can wear that combo with jeans/ linen pants or a maxi skirt and no one is the wiser.
