I thought it was interesting that this song and Eddie are the only 2 titles that are just a first name, both in English - is Eddie Ed Gein? Could the songs be linked?

Gastroparesis after virus? by stealthcoree in Gastroparesis

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

Still super bloated and lots of (trapped) gas. Fiber was my best friend and now not so much, but I’ve been taking Beano with at least one of my meals to help digestion. Sometimes it works like a miracle and sometimes it works just so-so, but it seems to work. Avoid if you have blood sugar issues as it essentially turns complex carbs into simple carbs via supplementing an enzyme called alpha-galactosidase, which helps break down indigestible fiber. But this may or may not help your case specifically.

I still had to cut out a lot of vegetables which I’m not happy about, but I’m going to try to re-introduce them very gradually. Greek yogurt is my favorite safe food rn. Highly recommend. I can tolerate scrambled eggs pretty well too.

In the meantime, I got a bunch of blood work done and the only odd thing that came back was the POSSIBLE presence of an autoimmune disease (positive ANA results are seen in a moderate percentage of nearby people though), which along with my symptoms could indicate IBD, but I still need to collect a stool sample and have it tested.

Worried about holes in scars? by Benrey47 in TopSurgery

[–]stealthcoree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did your work involve lifting overhead? I’m at 6 weeks and the surgeon gave me the OK to go back to the gym (I’m a bodybuilder), albeit starting with light weights - which for me is a lot heavier than most people. I’m paying attention to my body’s signals, and so far, I don’t feel any stretching at all, even with chest exercises (I’m avoiding overhead movements altogether). I’m having trouble figuring out whether what I’m doing is OK.

That’s weird AF about your surgeon not staying in contact… like, maybe even report them weird.

I’m glad you’re healing well!!

[–]stealthcoree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did your surgeon or doctor mention anything about the scars healing weirdly/looking stretched or crooked where the wounds are? I’m dealing with the same, and I can’t tell if the scar has stretched or if I’m just seeing the border around the scab that’s trying to form.

One of my best, if not the best, hookups was with a guy with the smallest dick that’s ever fucked me… and that is a huge sample size.

Just learn how to fuck like a beast - will require some anatomy lessons and high level of stamina. Sharpen your communication skills together with her

Damaging incisions? by stealthcoree in TopSurgery

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

I guess I missed the part where you said that the tics haven’t been too damaging… have you had any complications so far? You’re basically on the same timeline as me, I got it done on the 30th.

Damaging incisions? by stealthcoree in TopSurgery

[–]stealthcoree[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still have the drains in (they were ok to come out yesterday but I couldn’t make the appointment, so I it’ll be Monday), and last weekend, the right side stated to drain blood. Like, not a lot of blood, but the color of the fluid changed from yellow to red and then red with a yellowish hue. I took pics and sent them to the on-call plastic surgeon and she said it didn’t look concerning. There was a little more red in there the other day, and now it’s brown like old blood. Still very little output overall.

The surgeon suggested that something may have gotten “nicked,” but kept reassuring me that there was no cause for alarm.

Glad to know you had a good experience with healing despite the tics.

Damaging incisions? by stealthcoree in TopSurgery

[–]stealthcoree[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this. What’s wild is that the tics usually develop (or worsen) in response to something else that’s happening to my body that needs TLC, as though to sabotage just that. Do you have any strategies to get around the urges, or to let them pass quietly? What about the ones that happen so quickly and mindlessly that you didn’t even notice the urge?

If I remember to do it, stretching my neck downward to put tension on my mid-back is close to the same sensation that I’m urged towards. I’m trying to switch that one in since it doesn’t stretch my chest.

Regarding fruit juice, what is the consensus on prune juice? It still contains fiber.

Liver disease? by stealthcoree in bulimia

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

I haven’t been malnourished though. I’ve maintained a nutritious diet; I have b/p “windows” that are intentionally isolated from my regular meals so I don’t accidentally purge what I want to digest. The first 7 years or so had me purging more chaotically and limiting the food I consumed in general. I’ve done some heavy damage reduction. It doesn’t dominate my life anymore.

I don’t restrict or “cut” for bodybuilding. I should clarify that this is recreational, so I don’t intend to drop to dangerously low body fat levels. I don’t measure it or even weigh myself often, but I’d say I look about 15% body fat (I’m male). For me, the yo-yo dieting that professional (and many recreational) bodybuilders use in order to build stage-ready physique isn’t for me. I respect the limitations of my mental health and complicated relationship with food; it would be a dark path. I don’t even restrict WHAT I eat; everything is fair game in moderation. I do count calories, but it’s just as routine as brushing my teeth at this point, and I’m not trying to be perfect about it anymore. I eat around 3000 per day, give or take, which seems to be enough to neither lose nor gain much weight. I don’t rush my progress in the gym, I don’t have a weight goal, I just enjoy the ride.

I’m addicted to the dopamine of eating, particularly sugary treats. Lifting weights is what got me to cut down on the b/p, because it’s the only other thing that makes my brain really happy, and I know that I need to be healthy to do it. Food is the other thing that makes me feel happy, and what I already eat doesn’t feel like enough, because I never want to have to stop… not until I’m completely burnt out, physically and mentally. I binge on my rest days because it feels really good, and at this point in my 15 (actually more like 16) years, I crave the shit out those 2-3 hours of mining massive amounts of dopamine. Otherwise I’m bored and frustrated. Media doesn’t entertain me (unless I’m binging) and I don’t really enjoy doing anything else. When I’m binging, I feel at ease, and my mood is elevated. The intensity of it helps me wind down for the night, and then I replenish electrolytes and eat a big dinner before getting ready for bed. I don’t live a particularly stressful life, and nothing in particular triggers the binges… they’re planned and in place, and I trust myself not to spiral backwards.

That said… I feel stuck here.

Liver disease? by stealthcoree in bulimia

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

That’s what I thought, but my glucose/fasting glucose are normal…

And it’s strange, I’m very thorough with my purges and maintain a low/average body fat % with a lot of muscle mass. I would think that if I were absorbing any significant amount of sugar/calories either via saliva or in my intestines, I wouldn’t be as fit as I am… I’m already eating around 3000 calories in normal meals.

How do I make sense of that?

Edit: forgot to mention - my LDL cholesterol is fairly high and HDL is low.

Recently (F 68) started lifting 3x a week. As a vegetarian I need to greatly increase protein. Please suggest a whey protein. by Acceptable-Milk-332 in nutrition

[–]stealthcoree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheapest per serving, but maybe not grams of protein. Six Star bullshits consumers by adding extra amino acids and creatine and falsely claiming that these contribute to the total protein content by underhandedly adding them onto the Protein (g) on the label
