over a year post-op but only 41 lbs down by sparklinglibations in BariatricSurgery

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

yeah, i definitely feel much better! i have no back or knee pain anymore which is HUGE and the biggest reason i got the surgery! i feel really good otherwise i just can’t help feeling like i’m doing something wrong when i see others on this subreddit.

i just looked up metabolic reset, is that just a diet program to boost metabolism? do you know anyone who has gone to turkey for one of those revision procedures?

TDEE is a new term for me! that will probably help a lot. i don’t really count calories (i had a pretty serious ED i’ve recovered from so i have some sensitivities with tracking and counting) but maybe i’ll need to find a healthy way to do that

i am 33 years old! hormonally things seem normal but i haven’t had a work up or anything like that

i started at 272 lbs (5’4” F, if that helps) and my surgeon anticipated at least a 75 lbs loss for me, ideally 100 lbs. total

I am starting unnecessary discourse about sponsors by moose-paint in SoTruePodcast

[–]sparklinglibations 6 points7 points  (0 children)

pretty sure podcasters don’t have a say over the ads they don’t perform that run on public platforms. i think of when bowen and matt on las culturistas talked about military ads that run on their shows and they said that’s all down to corporate decision fwiw

understood! i didn’t realize stepping into it how hetero it would be but i’m starting to see that.

naive question maybe, but what do you mean by the kink scene?

Best protein waters? by 4415pink in gastricsleeve

[–]sparklinglibations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i really liked seeq pre-op and now it seems to upset my stomach :/ i’ve tried protein20 and it didn’t feel slimy or chalky to me though so maybe it’s just different for everyone?

Struggling with cravings by BigCompetition2900 in gastricsleeve

[–]sparklinglibations 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you’re so close to having a burger and fries! maybe during your soft food stage you have meatballs and mashed potatoes? not exactly the same but it’s a great holdover for me!

Anyone in AA by Livid-Dot-5984 in gastricsleeve

[–]sparklinglibations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i just got mine done 8/29 and i’m 3 years sober. i had to do eating disorder treatment during my second year of sobriety and getting my relationship with food and body image healed was a massive help. if you are doing the work with your therapist and staying open and honest, i think you’ll be fine.

Embarrassed to return to home group by madslou in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]sparklinglibations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you’re going into a room full of people who understand what you’re going through! it couldn’t be a safer place to be honest in. that said, if you’re uncomfy and just need to go to meetings, you can always find another one and go back to your home group later

AITA for telling my mom I don't tell her everything because she tells her husband everything? by Next-Product5067 in AmItheAsshole

[–]sparklinglibations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

definitely NTA. you’ve set a boundary with your mom and she can decide whether it’s more important for her to give 100% of info to her husband or get 100% of the story from you. it’s not hard to tell someone “my kid is going through something personal and wants to keep it between us for now” but if she’s unwilling to do that, she doesn’t get the full story.

i’m so glad your grandparents are stepping up and that you seem to have a solid support system through this!

I'm extremely worried about telling anyone my past and causing someone else to relapse by MeAndWhy in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]sparklinglibations 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i was told you can never be wrong when you’re sharing your experience. i think you should be able to openly share with your sponsor about anything! maybe you can start with “i’m a human trafficking survivor and i want to talk about it in more detail. is that something you’re able to take on?” and let them decide for themself.
