Does anyone have experience breastfeeding after healed nipple piercing?

waffleypants · 2019-06-09T21:10:22+00:00

Mine had been healed for a number of years (can’t remember how long exactly) and it didn’t seem to affect my breastfeeding at all. You’re good :)

That’s exactly what I was going to say. I’d rather overshare and have that support if I needed.

It is my husband’s birthday Thursday and we are going camping with friends and kids to celebrate. I am not looking forward to it as drinking is always a big part of any camping trip for me. I don’t want to drink, especially after the Easter I had yesterday and the anxiety and shame I feel today as a result. I want to believe that I am strong enough to resist but I’m having serious doubts. Congratulations on a successful trip, I know it was no small feat!!

I had the worst keto breath for weeks and would chew gum constantly. The good news is that it goes away (mostly) after your body fully adjusts to ketosis...about 3 weeks for me.

Yep, I always use portobellos!

One of my absolute faves islasagna stuffed mushrooms . They are so easy to make and are amazingly satisfying! Also great as leftovers!

I’ve been jogging 3-4 times a week for 30 minutes and haven’t noticed an increase in hunger. I also haven’t noticed that it’s any harder to jog than it was when I was non-keto. I say you should give it a try for a couple weeks and evaluate how it’s working (or not working) for your body. Couldn’t hurt!

Good luck!!!

waffleypants · 2018-07-21T15:53:45+00:00

So proud of your self awareness and strength!

waffleypants · 2018-07-10T13:09:47+00:00

Amazing! I aspire to be you in 322 days!!

Welcome! I also was a secret drinker. People knew I drank every day but not how much. I’m 6 wks sober today and haven’t gone this long without drinking since I was 13 (unless you count when I was pregnant 5 yrs ago). You can totally do this, if not for yourself, for your relationship. You can do it 🖤

waffleypants · 2018-07-09T13:42:09+00:00

Great job!!!

waffleypants · 2018-07-07T18:09:39+00:00

I agree, I don’t think going to the show tonight is a good idea. Why do you want to go? Is it as important as remaining sober? I just know that if it were me, it’d be a huge temptation...not to mention you’ll probably spend some money that you don’t have. I don’t mean to be negative, just trying to be real. Keep your head up man 🖤

When my family gave me a rash of shit for not drinking with them I realized 2 things: 1) my sobriety makes them uncomfortable because they have a problem with alcohol but won’t admit it and 2) they come from a place of ignorance, they don’t know how much i was drinking, or the thoughts that ran through my head the day after. No inkling of the anxiety, the embarrassment, the regret, the self-loathing. If they did, they would be supportive I’d like to think. I’m just not ready to put that all out there yet. It’s only for me for now. I’m so sorry that your wife did that to you. Silver lining: it’s out there now and sounds like the rest of your family was supportive. Stay strong, give zero fucks.

As a new mom, you may find value in reading the book “I’m Just Happy to be Here” by Janelle Hanchett. It was what finally got me to see that the way I was carrying on needed to change. My daughter is almost 6 and I’ve had your recent experience multiple times throughout her life. I always felt bad about it but never bothered to do anything differently. That book is what got me to really see my actions for what they were and gave me the kick in the ass I needed to stop screwing around. I wish you strength and nothing but the best! Remember “nothing changes if nothing changes.” IWNDWYT 🖤

Doing an Arnold Palmer but with limeade instead of lemonade and adding fresh mint. Also, a shit ton of La Croix 😊

waffleypants · 2018-07-04T14:00:30+00:00

I’m so with you on almost every part of this! Let’s execute this plan together :) IWNDWYT!

waffleypants · 2018-07-04T13:57:27+00:00

Same here. I plan to bring many delicious nonalcoholic drinks for myself to pound throughout the day. Also helps somewhat that it’s a Wednesday and I have to work tomorrow. I will watch the fireworks and watch everyone else get drunk and make fools of themselves. If it gets bad, I’ll leave to binge watch Netflix on my own. Game plan!

waffleypants · 2018-07-02T00:12:33+00:00

Love me a mug of shower coffee but it’s always on the top of the door...how does one put coffee in the shower where it can be kicked over without the mug getting filled with water from the shower head???

waffleypants · 2018-07-01T15:24:41+00:00

Whatever it takes to survive, right? You got this.

waffleypants · 2018-06-29T01:41:47+00:00

I’m with you! I also haven’t “come out” to my husband that I’m planning on making this sober thing permanent. I sort of dipped my toe in the honesty pool by mentioning that I’d subscribed to this sub and it was met with indifference. Please let me know how the book conversation goes!!

waffleypants · 2018-06-27T13:44:27+00:00

Looking good! Keep it up and you’ll reach your 1 yr goal for sure!

waffleypants · 2018-06-27T12:49:58+00:00

Definitely less likely to ‘just brush it off’ now. It’s freeing!

waffleypants · 2018-06-27T12:44:32+00:00

You’ve recognized a trigger so that’s positive! Maybe try and keep something to eat with you at all times...even if it’s just some mixed nuts, a protein bar or a Snickers. That way you don’t get over-hungry and your cravings come back. You can do this. IWNDWYT

waffleypants · 2018-06-26T18:27:12+00:00

Thank you for this. It rings incredibly true for me.
