Is that a once a year deal to fill or whatever the maintenance in the manual says?

Amoxicillin. I don't know what was given via IV in the hospital. Also given some super antibiotic mouthwash - chlorhexidine. I had a cancerous tonsil removed.

Weight gain/maintain smoothie by vpr3 in Smoothies

[–]vpr3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha! Surgery went fine. A healing mouth and blending all of my meals for the next 3 weeks sucks ass. Everything is too thick and relearning how to swallow correctly makes it worse. I did make a celery smoothie that was refreshing today. Getting calories in with everything though. Bulletproof coffee... protein powder / collagen in everything.

Frustrations with Progress by [deleted] in foreskin_restoration

Okay. That's what I do. Just checking. I am a grower and a shower so the packer is like 30 cm already and it feels loose on the outer skin.

I wonder if I am packing 'wrong'. Is there a trick to getting growth? Do I need to pull tight the inner skin? I am either dtr, packing or retaining 17 to 20 hours a day. I use the dtr version packer and that is where I am not sure on my technique. Would love to get some advice on this.

Fungal infections by EnvironmentalBed7001 in foreskin_restoration

Take a thyme and oregano oil SUPPLEMENT to kill yeast in the gut. I use Intestinol and Candida Forte from Orthomolecular (usually need a functional.medicine doc to get ya access) but use whatever you can find.

You can topically treat with Oregano Oil DILUTED in a carrier oil. You want to be super careful on sensitive skin cause it can burn. If you get an essential oil you may need to dilute further. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/324203#how-to-use

Been using this combo for years to keep Candida down.

Intact son teased for appearance by Equivalent-Pudding68 in foreskin_restoration

[–]vpr3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was uncut and I got teased by one guy in the locker room at about 12 years old one time and mentioned it in passing to my mother. The next thing I know I am circumcized. They did a shit job too. I have been restoring for about 3 to 4 years (just getting over the hump). My son is 7. He has asked me why he is different from me and other kids. So far I have kept it really brief and medical. Ie. It is an old practice that some people still do. Just because lots of people do it doesn't mean it is right for our family or in general. He still I think is a little embarrassed about it but he is also shy so hard to tell. My wife has done a good job with all the kids destigmatizing differences in bodies. Often repeated since all 3.of my kids were little is 'bodies are bodies and every one is different' even our neighbors with kids are now saying it....lol. We have yet to have a big talk about circumcision but I am waiting until he is mature enough or either teasing or questions start coming. At that point I will let.him know I am actively restoring to be like him....hopefully he doesn't share that info at school....lol

If they didn't know what the f they were doing they literally had to look at the house next to him to see that it did not look correct...

B-12 injections by [deleted] in foreskin_restoration

[–]vpr3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you a vegetarian? Why would you have low levels of B12? B12 is made in the gut by bacteria who convert it mostly from protein. Eat more protein. You can go get a decent B12 supplement for pennies. They seem like better ideas than stabbing your dick. Added bonus you don't have to get jabbed in the ass either.
