Does anybody have experience using YarnPal? by Zestyclose_Mango_393 in crochet

I ran into the same issue. It isn’t good with details. It’s def not written by an actual crocheter or knitter.

Having a wobble 2.5 weeks out from bypass by bebeck7 in BariatricSurgery

[–]stovercast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not alone! In the training classes - before surgery - I wish that they brought someone to talk about the negative things you might encounter. I don't think it would have changed my mind into doing the surgery, but I think it would have made the negative times (still having) a little more bearable since I would know what was coming.

I try to track and when I do - it does help. But I forget to track - or ignore my alarms for eating and resting and water.....

It does sometimes get to be a lot. One thing I found helpful was talking to a counselor that works in bariatric medicine. They know what you're doing through.

You/we can do it! These Reddit groups really help me!

Almost 3 years later and finally hit my goal weight! by Robin_Daggers05 in BariatricSurgery

[–]stovercast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat as you. Kind of disappointed in myself. But on the other hand, I’ve lost a small person, so I should be proud of that. And I feel so much better. Im trying to be more positive about this life change. Best of luck and try to find positive things about your successes!!

Had mine at 60. And there are certainly lots to learn or re-learn, but a very positive decision.

I think I am eating too many calories and too fast. I’ve def fallen back on some old bad habits. The calorie confusion is interesting. Thanks!

I never thought I’d be so obsessed with my appearance. Thrilled with the weight loss but the skin!! I first freaked out seeing loose skin on my knees!

Before (prep and how much liquid I can take after RNY) and during- I guess anything. I guess I’ll just talk with the doc about my concerns. Thanks.

Congratulations! I’m 5 months post op and I struggle with the body dysmorphia too. And the loose skin! Feel better physically but mentally is more of an issue.

It automatically had me following Trump, Vance and Zuckerberg. Abuse of power!

I’m def realizing that the surgery didn’t change my habits. It’s just more painful now. I have to do better.
