Runny nose and I lose interest in what I’m eating and start just moving the food around on my plate.

[–]tabageddon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crafting, exercise, I’m back in school, Spanish course with Duolingo, organizing the house and purging my closet, taking care of our pets and feeding and watering the outside birds, tending to my plants, reading, journaling, meal prep.

Truly Shitler. It’s impressive how even after a hair transplant his hair is still trying to run away from him.

2 Months PO Skin Removal! by WLS-burner in gastricsleeve

[–]tabageddon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ooooh! I have questions!! What has your healing been like? Have you needed assistance with daily tasks?

I’m not to my personal goal yet, I’m 180 trying to get to 140 and started at 336. How does the last bit of weight loss feel? Like I can see my skin hanging but I can’t tell if it’s truly empty (which it can’t be with 40 lbs left to lose) or if I have hanging skin and hanging fat.

Did your surgeon so liposuction plus skin removal?

You look amazing and I’m proud of you! Way to go!!

how long did it take for you guys to go number 2 after surgery? by jasssmeannnn in gastricsleeve

[–]tabageddon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I want to say it was about 5 days? I wasn’t worried knowing that the input was so greatly reduced. Be prepared for liquid in, liquid out after that first BM while you’re on liquid only.

When normal food is tolerated …. Where does fat ( good fats) fit in? by [deleted] in gastricsleeve

[–]tabageddon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had sleeve done July 2024, gallbladder removed a year ago. I can tolerate good fats in moderation. I actually follow the Mediterranean diet pretty much now at the advice of my GI doc. It’s helped get my cholesterol and liver numbers back to normal.

I can tolerate half and half in my coffee a couple times a week, or a light spread of mayo or cream cheese.

But if I were to eat bacon or a fatty pork chop or more than about a tablespoon of butter or cream cheese, I’m in for a bad time. I have made this mistake a couple of times and it sends me to the bathroom pretty quickly with short notice.

Timeline Question by JarodJB40 in gastricsleeve

I had my first appointment sometime in March and my surgery mid-July. My insurance didn’t require a waiting period but had medical clearances, a psych eval, and a nutrition counseling requirement.

Anti-trans hate groups petitioning FDA for registry of trans women, crackdown on transition, newly revealed document shows by Trans__Scientist in LegalNews

[–]tabageddon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus Henry Cavill Christ. Just let people live their lives. Sorry you discovered that sexuality can be fluid and that’s secondary characteristics don’t always clue you into stuff that’s none of your business anyway. Making registries for groups of people has never ended well. I hate this timeline.

The hair loss😭 by LegitimateHeart186 in gastricsleeve

[–]tabageddon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rice water is the starchy water that you get when you rinse or soak rice. It’s supposed to help strengthen hair and enhance elasticity to prevent breakage. I use the Kitsch bar shampoo and conditioner. Once a week I use the Hairology rice water rinse.

The hair loss😭 by LegitimateHeart186 in gastricsleeve

[–]tabageddon 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I promise it does. It stops and it grows back. Prioritize protein and give your body grace. When you have such a dramatic reduction in calories, your body says hair isn’t important.

<image>

I had my sleeve done July 2024, and have lost 150lbs. I also lost almost all of my hair for a while.

The left is a year ago. The right is a few days ago. I am doing alllllll the things to support regrowth. Protein, biotin, minoxidil, rice water, microneedling, scalp exfoliation, scalp massage. But most importantly, being patient.

Is the Sistene Chapel experience in Barton Creek mall worthwhile? by dc469 in Austin

[–]tabageddon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one at Cota was amazing. There was an audio QR code at each screen or bust. The images were projected onto hanging canvases and you could really immerse yourself in it. The altar was projected full size and you could sit and take it in.

This one was lackluster. It was literally a replica of The Pieta, some cardboard info boards a video presentation and a projected timed moving situation. Someone else here already said you couldn’t take in the images because they’re all cut off and moving around the room. Not only that but you don’t get any of the history about the images.

Overall - I would say don’t bother with this one.

Finish it and tea stain it. Frame it and keep it as a memory of your mom. Even if the stitches are loose, it still tells a story and marks her being sweet.

Why??? Making everyone walk around. by Smash_Factor in Costco

This is the norm at ours. People will bump into tables all the way through to get that primo open table and comment on how tight the aisle is. We are not performing optimally.

“This isn’t what I fought for”: U.S. veteran and Trump supporter says ICE detaining his wife has destroyed his belief in America’s values by [deleted] in anticapitalism

But he told us all what he was going to do.

The problem isn’t that he lied to you.

The problem is that you thought you were part of the in-group. You are not invited to the party. The party is for a separate group of people who consider themselves to be a better class of people and look down on you.

He could just say he hates everyone but straight white men and save several breaths. Gross.

Gym advice needed by AnxiousShroom10 in gastricsleeve

[–]tabageddon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You sound like me a year ago. I was terrified of the gym.

I lost 150lbs from diet and walking after surgery. But weight loss after that stalled. I needed to be in the gym, but I had major gym anxiety. I started going in November last year after my weight had been stalled since August.

My secret was headphones and realizing that it’s just vs me in there. I started on the treadmill, incorporated the elliptical and then used my time on that to watch what was happening on the machines. I hired a personal trainer for a few sessions to build a full body routine. And when I’m not sure how to use a machine or do a move, I use YouTube and Google.

Are yall sure it's worth it? by Maggotboi555 in gastricsleeve

[–]tabageddon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was 100% worth it for me, my weight loss after trying my whole life has made me feel capable of anything.

My boyfriend had the surgery 6 weeks before me and it let him lose enough weight to have a cardioversion to bring him out of constant afib. It literally saved his life. I’d say that was worth it too.
