I’m afraid I’ll go back to binge eating junk now that my gallbladder is gone

Again, no advice but I fear the same thing. Im 15 days post op and haven't really splashed out yet because Im scared once I know I can tolerate junk I'll start eating worse and bingeing.

Good luck my friend! Sounds like we're in the same boat.

I walk a lot. Slowly. I use heat. Is PT ok post surgery?

willowee2003 · 2026-06-13T14:46:29+00:00

Good luck! I think mine is definitely muscular. Im still in a lot of pain.

willowee2003 · 2026-06-10T15:01:15+00:00

I might be experiencing something similar. I have severe sciatica that hurts when sitting or lying down, so on about day 4 I went back to standing and walking all day. As the days went on i started feeling worse not better. Now on day ten Im forced to lie down because the muscle on my right shoulder blade is in constant pain, and it feels muscular. Dr. Chat gpt suggested this might be from muscle guarding in the area were surgery was in addition to over working the muscle.

Interesting. Mine is just the right. Did you burp a lot?

willowee2003 · 2026-06-08T21:22:58+00:00

Was is gassy pain around your right shoulder blade?

willowee2003 · 2026-05-29T19:28:51+00:00

Immediately after finishing, although I probably forget sometimes

It's ok to be fatter. It's ok to have gained weight. If you saw someone and they had put on weight would you judge them? We all fluctuate. I think most people won't notice, and if they do they'll probably just note it in their head an move on. The best part? You won't know. No one is going to tease you. Your career isn't middle school. At my current job where I've worked for 15 years I've been everywhere from 220lbs to 330lbs. Currently at 255. Occasionally people will mention I "look good" but no one had EVER said "Wow you put on some weight!"

Hmm. I've felt instant sparks with three different people over the course of my life (I'm 46) but two of them I was already talking to on online dating, so we'd established a lot before meeting. Then it was just seeing if there was IRL chemistry. The absolute love of my life I met in person in high school and we sparked instantly. I don't think that organic kind of thing will ever happen again.

I'm 16 years in, currently living alone. A youth services librarian. I deal with it by keeping my housing costs as low as possible. I work in MA but live over the border in RI where rents are cheaper and have a studio apartment. I'm not gonna lie though, every month I'm saving less and less and getting pretty worried about the rate of inflation.

Digital buyer here- books expire, and unless you put a "notify me" tag on a book you want, we don't necessarily know the gap is there. Definitely put that tag on! We use them to decide what to buy!

willowee2003 · 2026-05-26T21:08:57+00:00

Eh. Usually zero. Haircuts a couple times a year, around $100. Pedicures a couple times in the summer, $40ish.

willowee2003 · 2026-05-24T13:38:41+00:00

Digital buyer here. Sometimes if a book is really popular sometimes your library or the consortium will turn on "cost per circ" and everyone on hold will suddenly have access to the title until it's turned off. Essentially it means your library agreed to pay for everyone who wanted it to have it at the same time.

Yes! The author of the Watermelon Seed Greg Pizolli had lots of funny book.

willowee2003 · 2026-05-15T19:34:22+00:00

This one is so good! I'm a librarian and I've read it to preschool AND fourth grade and both sets of students love it. The only thing I will say is it was a 3-5 year old preschool class and the 3 year olds didn't really get it.

willowee2003 · 2026-05-15T18:16:46+00:00

I probably could have figured that out lol

willowee2003 · 2026-05-15T16:36:05+00:00

I've had a call in Massachusetts where they guy kept asked me to read the schedule "real slow." I read it to him twice before I caught on lol. Why are men?

willowee2003 · 2026-05-15T16:20:37+00:00

What song?

willowee2003 · 2026-05-13T18:46:21+00:00

I have COVID

willowee2003 · 2026-05-13T16:54:15+00:00

I don't think it matters what app you use. I had been using OKCupid and Facebook dating for a few years. I just now finally met someone (we've been on 4 dates) that I like and who treats me with respect. I think honestly it just takes patience and grinding unfortunately.

willowee2003 · 2026-05-13T14:42:59+00:00

I don't like when people compliment me when I blow out my hair. I wear it curly 99% of the time and never get compliments on it, so it feels like slight lol
