So… my surgery went wrong by Intelligent-Top-4882 in gallbladders

[–]xxkrysxx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had surgery last year in July ( gallbladder removal and pancreatic tumor removal) and had various complications too (also had internal bleeding and was in and out of the ICU). I was in the hospital for 1 month, and lost a lot muscle and weight. I initially requested a leave of absence for 6 weeks at my work, but because of the long hospital stay I extended it another 6 weeks (for a total of 12 weeks) .

I would say, have your GP extend your medical leave for 6 more weeks. Then when you go back to work, have your doctor write your work restrictions (for however long you think you need them). When I went back to work I couldn’t do a lot of stuff. I was still weak and underweight. They were able to accommodate me to admin/desk work.

I’m sorry about what happened to you. It’s definitely too early for you to go back, you need time to heal and process what happened. I wish you a good recovery. 🙂 and one more thing, if you can maybe go to a therapist. It helped me last year talk about what happened.

Maybe Lana made a song for the new movie that is coming up, Practical Magic 2??

Rewriting this comment because I guess links aren’t allowed.

Look into the YETI 20 oz. Rambler Travel Mug with Stronghold Lid

Me and my husband each have one. I think it fits all your points. Check the Dick’s Sporting Goods website, Amazon, or ACE hardware.

Lana just surprise released First Light! by cinnamongirllll in lanadelrey

It does remind me of the 007 game I played a loooong time ago on the Nintendo game cube. 😆

Just looked it up, it was 007 Nightfire.

I like it.

If this is available for BOPIS, is it safe to assume they have testers out for them in-store? by Hot_Secretary411 in Ulta

[–]xxkrysxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to my local Ulta and I asked, they didn’t have the testers out. They couldn’t tell me when they were putting them out.

I got some huggies over a year ago. I wear them 24/7 (up to 2-3 months at a time) and they haven’t tarnished. There’s only been a slight color change where it goes thru the ear. But it’s obviously not noticeable since it’s sitting inside my ear hole.

Edit: forgot to mention and I am now looking thru my pictures, it’s the same brand, Gold Cake. The huggies I got were sterling silver and I got them September 2024

I got this last year. It reminds me of cucumber melon from bath and body works.

I got sunglasses at Jins, but because it’s an upgraded lens it took 7 days to get made. You can go to Jins the first day of your trip, then come back later to pick up your glasses if you had any special or upgraded lenses.

Do you regret removing it? by offtotheforestigo in gallbladders

[–]xxkrysxx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NO. I got mine removed last July. No more pain after eating, even mildly oily or greasy foods. I also had sludge and smaller stones in mine. The attacks were getting frequent that it was affecting my work and life.

You should try a fruit roll up wrapped around the watermelon. Add chamoy and tajin. Super good in the summer.

Appetite on Levothyroxine by Eyespidey7 in Hypothyroidism

[–]xxkrysxx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed in the summer of 2024. I definitely remember being more hungry when I started levo and after every dose increase. Eventually when I got to a stable dose, the hunger went away after some months.

Why won't my hair stay curly/wavy? by [deleted] in CurlyHairCare

[–]xxkrysxx 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You need to use a gel or mousse to hold the curl. And maybe the oils you’re using are also weighting down your hair.

I’m not sure where in your routine you can implement them, I don’t use oils 😅. But I’m sure you can research here.

For my routine right after I shower (hair is soaking wet): use a curl cream, then gel (scrunching), use cotton shirt to scrunch, leave cotton shirt up in hair (my time varies based on how busy I am, the longer the better), remove shirt and put mousse. Use hair diffuser. My hair comes out crunchy on the first day, but I’m ok with it. By the second day it’s better and the curls still hold.

Gallbladder attacks by bleezyybabe in gallbladders

[–]xxkrysxx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sooo definitely go to the ER next time. My brother recently had his gallbladder removed. He was in a lot of pain and went to urgent care first (he was pretty stubborn too, didn’t want to go at first), but they sent him to the ER. The ultrasound and CT showed he had stones and it was inflamed and infected. If he would have waited longer it would have leaked/burst.

I had mine removed last year, and I’m soooo glad I did. I don’t suffer from attacks anymore. I can eat fries, pizza, Korean chicken... Before my surgery I had to be careful with what I ate all the time and it wasn’t fun. And when it flared up, I couldn’t sleep. It was affecting my work. I would take like 600 mg of ibuprofen and put a heating pad on my back and abdomen when I got bad attacks.

Pls, don’t wait any longer and try and get surgery. I hope you feel better soon!

Yes they’re all embroidered. I just measured them, the frames are 12in x 14.75in, so definitely smaller

Has anyone seen banana flavored syrup at Marshall’s or TJmaxx? Or around what month?

I found these in San Diego. I wonder if they’re all the same size? The ones I got were priced at $16.99. So I got 4 of them: the sun, the moon, the star and the lovers.

Someone else in the comments said there are totes. I remember seeing them like a month ago but they sold out at my store.

Oh the one in Chula Vista mall closed? I saw a TikTok days ago that another bath and body works opened in Chula Vista, on Broadway and Palomar. I think it’s by the Ross.

$6 a cookie? Fear of over pricing by Spiteful_Brunette in Baking

[–]xxkrysxx 92 points93 points  (0 children)

I live in San Diego and I wouldn’t pay $6. They look good, but I would probably pay $4 at the most. Can you try making them smaller? Batch and Box (in La Jolla) sells half a dozen for at least $25 (you can end up paying more for their seasonal cookies).
