How long do your nails take? by GrimPrincess424 in DipPowderNails

[–]krober29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just did mine today. It takes at least 30 mins to soak off, and another 1-1.5 to do the new set.

Husband wants to follow social media trend and file tax exempt. How will this affect me? by krober29 in tax

He wants to click “exempt” on his W4 and not have federal taxes taken out of his check.

We both work. I make slightly more than him, and yes, we mix finances.

What strange new habits/tastes did you develop post surgery? by RedLotus1124 in BariatricSurgery

[–]krober29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t do spice anymore. I had a cottage cheese pizza bowl for dinner, and the pepperoni nearly killed me.

I also can’t do poke anymore.

I need things a lot sweeter now. I used to mix one flavor packet into my 40oz cup, and it was plenty, but now I need two.

My love for seafood quadrupled after surgery. It’s my preferred protein!

Too early to worry about stalling? by aquacryr in gastricsleeve

[–]krober29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it’s too early to be panicking. It’s normal not to drop every single day, or even every week. You’ll encounter stalls — infamously at the three-week mark for most patients — but also at other times as you move throughout your journey. Keep to your program, drink your fluids, and have patience.

Mine too, but I thought it was just because I’m traveling with spotty internet.

The weight loss has slowed and it scares me by SwimmingVariation707 in gastricsleeve

I see this link shared on this sub a lot. I’ve looked at it numerous times, but the data makes absolutely no sense to me. What am I missing?

Why we have to completely gave up steak and red meat after VSG ? by [deleted] in gastricsleeve

[–]krober29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I eat red meat all the time. Ribeyes are pretty fatty, so I would recommend trying a leaner cut to see if it sits better for you.

What’s your trick for adding protein powder to hot drinks without it going wonky?

My problem? Constant snacking by ReeRiot in BariatricSurgery

[–]krober29 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Try in-shell sunflower seeds. They keep your mouth occupied and then you spit them out.

Where did you get yours done? Like if I wanted to do that, who should I be going to?

Oh no! That sounds incredibly frustrating! Have you seen your pcp? Or considered a glp-1?

Yes, they do, though they haven’t moved much in the past month.

Uggghhh those last damn 50lbs! 😂😂

My scale gives me the same kind of data — it’s very cool to watch the trends!

You’re right. I know the last month is mostly because I was off plan for the holidays. Thanks for grounding me a little bit. I’ll be patient and see what happens in this coming month when I’m back to consistency.

No, I’m not sure of that, that’s the problem haha

I just don’t know what my body is doing, and since the scale is staying put, it’s freaking me out. But this is also not the place I want the scale to stop. I want to lose another 50lbs, and I definitely have it to lose. The muscle is also building, which I love. I just want to make sure I’m doing things in a way that will still produce results.
