Hey yall! I’m almost a week post op and have been doing tons of research on how to take care of my body now after surgery (maybe a little naive of me to not do so pre op but I was more anxious about the actual surgery and recovery over long term care lol)

Anyway! I’ve been trying to do research on different types of supps to help avoid phantom attacks and long term side effects aside from change of diet.

I’ve hear about ox bile but I’m not keen on taking another “pill” each day since I already have half a dozen other medications I take for various health issues not pertaining to my GI. Curious on if anyone has used the brand Buoy? They seem to have a line of different drops (similar to the MiO water flavor squirts) for hydration, digestion, etc.

Also open to any other suggestions of what you’ve found helpful (and also hated!). If it helps, I’m 23f also have endometriosis, history of eating disorders, anxiety, and GERD which I have learned all have played a huge part in my realm of digestive issues. TIA!!!

Saw someone on tik tok reccomend a mini fridge for middle of the night water, ice packs, snacks.

Best. Investment. Of. My. Life.

Mine is STOCKED with water, apple juice, apple sauce, ice packs, little leftovers (fruit cups, etc). It has been so easy to just grab something quick to not bother my wife lately at night.

$130 well spent. That’s all.

Ughhhhhh! Had surgery yesterday morning (about 27 hours ago) I feel like I’m handling my easy snacks like rice cakes, soup, rice crispy treats but holy moly I would do anything for a Steak ‘n Shake chocolate shake😭 I’m severely craving a salty something followed with a sweet treat! Please drop reccomendations if things you ate this early on that’ll satisfy this craving!!!!

Has anyone else experienced feeling like their reviews are just based on vibes? Long post I’m sorry!

Had my preview to the review and was told Im not meeting expectations and would more than likely not be getting my raise at my review this summer.

I’m a SL for a big section (with no backup that works the section at all, they literally just write the order on my two days off), voluntarily work overnights when needed, am the first to see a fire and burn it out or help problem solve even when it’s not my section and I have great relationships with all of the crew I work with on a regular basis (even the ones I don’t work with I’m still cordial and make it a point to get to know them).

I was having issues with not getting help on my section all day and finding that everyday I was coming in for my closing shift to see my section hadn’t been worked since I left the night prior (it got to a point where i started taking a picture of my back stock when I’d leave to be able to prove to myself I wasn’t crazy that every box was in the exact same spot the next night lol). I expressed these concerns to my section mate as well as others and was kind of blown off that were “understaffed” and have “other fires to burn” and when i asked for a second set of hands for an hour or two, I wouldn’t get help or if I did I would get sent someone who is known to put up a case or two and then walk away and be MIA for the rest of the hour. I also had a mate that I trusted and had a good relationship with speak negatively about me to a crew member that is known to be someone I’m very close with, when this was brought up I had a meeting with this mate and my sl mate where they apologized but now they literally do not speak to me at all. And finally, I have a mate who has been perpetually aggressive or dismissive with me since they transferred to my store because i accidentally wished them a Merry Christmas six months ago when I wasn’t aware they didn’t celebrate Christmas (my fault for sure but such an odd reason to act like I don’t exist still six months later)- this was the mate that did my review this week.

I started just under a year ago and have gotten feedback that just hasn’t aligned with this review. Being told I’m doing great and that their impressed with how well I’ve picked up writing a section so big as my first section, having multiple mates comment that they think I’d be a great mate and want to be my mentor for development, being asked to take on extra tasks, etc. I’m someone who truly will take the extra work just to be helpful even if it’s “not my job”. I care about being a team player and helping everyone just because it feels like the right thing to do.

Not to mention I have customers who will wait longer in my line just to check out with me, ones who have ran and gave me a hug for helping them with something so simple imo, and my favorite, a customer literally asking to take a selfie with me to send to her family because I CLIMBED on top of pallets to find a tiny box of chile lime seasoning for her 5 mins before closing lmao.

During my last review I was told I was doing great and the only thing I really needed to work on was connecting and talking more with crew. I was just a few months in and getting the hang of things, I’m totally aware that I take some time to open up and show my personality. Going into this review I did not expect to be told that I now talk TOO much and that it’s an issue. While on the other hand I see crew that talk the entire hour and don’t do anything (many of which who are on “development” or boast about how they “are next up to be a mate” and constantly see crew who are dating literally standing in the back hugging up on each other and kissing. And then being told I “don’t stay on task” which I was so taken off by and had a mini crisis over the fact that I was told this as a teenager and was put on medication for it so i literally called my psychiatrist the next day and told them what my leadership had said be asked them to put me back on adderal because I WANT to be good at my job.

All of these things have been brought up to my SL mate and it feels like they’re just not hearing me or make excuses for everyone else and the only answer is that I need to work harder but I truly don’t understand how much harder I can work. I of course want to talk to my captain about this and plan to but I’m trying to collect my thoughts and find a way to address it with them privately without either losing it by crying or sounding like I’m just bitching.

I literally spent my 45 minute drive home last night crying about how upset I am over this. I truly love this job so much and absolutely adore so many of my fellow crew, it feels like I just got stabbed in the chest.
