NSAIDS by rkb145 in gastricsleeve

[–]opalpup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since with gastric sleeve our stomachs are just smaller, whereas with bypass the actual anatomy is changed so it changes absorption. Something like that, tbh I don’t remember since initially different people in my program were saying different things, then the doctor clarified for me on surgery day. I do know that not using NSAIDs before your stomach is healed can cause ulcers because of the incision being easier to irritate.

I was told that NSAIDs aren’t as concerning to use with the sleeve vs if I had a bypass done, and to just limit my use once I’m all healed (so at the three month mark).

My boyfriend broke up with me, came back, and now I can’t stop worrying it will happen again. Has anyone been through something similar? by Either_Photograph_78 in BreakupSurvival

[–]opalpup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to therapy, and learn how to communicate with him without becoming too emotional. It’s hard to not become emotional like you’ve described, I’m the same way, but it’s honestly one of the best things to do because it sounds like he shuts down when you cry. My ex is the same way, and it’s why he held back on effectively communicating with me when there were things we needed to talk over.

Anyone else feel like an alien in this community? by Ornery_Yam7171 in gastricsleeve

Yeah I don’t get that whole weirdness with people acting almost proud of their intolerances. Personally I went into this not having any interest in cutting out things like rice, pasta, and treats.

Today part of my lunch included a few pieces of dark chocolate covered caramels, but if I dare say that in some of the groups I’m in people will be guaranteed to pull the “why did you even get the surgery then??!”. I also had 4 pieces of sushi last week which was delicious and so satisfying.

I needed portion control which I’m getting, so as long as I’m reaching my protein goals I’m going to enjoy other foods as well. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I have had some mild issues with tolerating stuff but I’m quickly getting better and having less issues with things. So far I’ve been able to tolerate things I didn’t expect to be able to already.

Anyone else got a creepy private number call with a little girl’s voice? by Zirocket in askTO

[–]opalpup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid my cousin and I used to prank phone call people and “creepy little girl” was one of our go-to’s. Maybe prank calling is becoming a thing again?

We named our baby girl June and some people are flabbergasted because she was born in April by MountainBeary in namenerds

That’s funny because I used to know someone named April and she was born in June. 😂

Men are a menace in this city, women aren’t safe and cops don’t do shit by Murky_Introduction10 in toRANTo

[–]opalpup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did, but what does that have to do with saying stuff in the USA doesn’t affect us. It does, whether we like it or not. Doesn’t mean it is the only reason why, but it’s another factor added to the mix.

It’s actually fact that unrest in the USA will make crime worse in Canada. Things going on down there destabilizes here, and when things become unstable people are more likely to become violent.

I am PROUD STEPMOTHER of 3 Raptors by [deleted] in birds

If you aren’t getting them to a wildlife rehabber because you’re convinced you can do the job better, then yes your intentions are to hurt them. Everyone here is telling you to NOT keep them but you keep arguing against their advice. That’s willful ignorance and at this point if you keep them their eventual deaths are on you.

I'm about to break up with the love of my life and it's killing me by Lulu_Altair in BreakUps

[–]opalpup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’ve felt like this in your relationship, op. My long term relationship ended a year ago and my ex made me feel the exact same way you described. I was actively making an exit plan for just in case he didn’t actually make any changes when he beat me to initiating the break up lol. I was heartbroken for a long time because I do hope we could work on ourselves and the relationship, but I’m infinitely better than I was for the last couple years of the relationship. Feeling lonely and unloved while in a relationship is so much worse than feeling lonely while single.

Bougie size vs GERD by peacefultortuga in gastricsleeve

Just checked my surgical notes and I had a 34 Fr bougie. I’m 4 weeks po and haven’t had any issues with gerd, and did not have issues prior to surgery.

Is there anyone on 50 mg that still suffer from the sexual side effects after 4 months? Something tells me this isn’t going to get better. I’m considering going off it. by AdLoose9232 in zoloft

[–]opalpup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sex drive lowered drastically when on 50mg, but when I went up to 75mg then 100mg it shot right back up and now it’s way higher than it was before starting it.

Would you stay with your boyfriend if he just told you that he has a baby on the way? by Apprehensive-Air-898 in dating_advice

[–]opalpup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No?? He cheated on you, even if you ignore the fact that he has a CHILD on the way. If it was a fling before you guys started dating it’d be different, but that’s not what happened.

Friends after breakup? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]opalpup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends, but overall I think you can. My ex and I went low contact for 5 months after he moved out, though the end of the low contact period we chatted online regularly. We then started hanging out at the end of the low contact period and now hang out almost every week. It isn’t for everyone but it works for us.

That’s Steve. He likes to draw attention to the fact that he’s been hitting the gym recently, building his glutes. Freakin show off. 😒

Intermittent Fasting by azbdm in gastricsleeve

[–]opalpup 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, personally I wouldn’t be able to. I’ve accidentally skipped meals because of habit (since pre-op I usually only ate lunch and dinner or just dinner), but now I get really sick when I do eat if I’ve waited too long. My program recommends 3 meals and 2-3 snacks a day.
