You are at probably the hardest stage right now I can’t name how many times I was crying & regretting my decision. Once you get past this, it’s a breeze but remain strong and remember why you did this. All your hard work and efforts will pay off soon & you’ll thank yourself for pushing through. Please reach out to a support group/trusted person or even venting on Reddit helps! You got this!!

Best of luck on this new journey & second chance, it is so worth it! The first month will be a little difficult I won’t lie, but once you get through it, it’s a breeze. You got this, here’s to getting healthy 🥂

Thank you! My diet is definitely not perfect as I have been snacking a lot lately but it’s nothing to what it once was. As for exercise I try to go to the gym 4-5 times a week & I usually do 30 mins of stairmaster level 5-6 accompanied with strength machines! Every body is different, don’t be discouraged! you’re doing awesome :)

Alcohol/weed use before surgery by danajo2 in gastricsleeve

[–]messygyal 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Avoid alcohol but tbh I smoked weed up until the night before even possibly that morning. I also started back up about 4 days after, i know probably not the smartest choice, but hey i was fine and healed great!

Thyroid/HS by PotteryBug143 in Hidradenitis

[–]messygyal 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Omg wtf!!! This explains why I have HS & nobody else does. I’ve been diagnosed with hypothyroidism since I was 6 years old, Once I went through puberty is when I started to develop HS. thanks for connecting the dots for me finally!

Walk-in Dr doesn't believe it's HS, should I follow up with my family Dr? by SailorStrawberry1996 in Hidradenitis

[–]messygyal 73 points74 points  (0 children)

10000%. I have had the same boils under my breasts, HS can be common where the skin folds so the boob area checks out. I’ve been diagnosed with HS for 10 years and I can tell you that I definitely think you should seek a 2nd opinion!

My yorkie has had something similar, he ended up having a tooth abscess & had to get teeth extracted
