I know that I can read up on good snacks all day long, but I wanna know real people’s personal favorite sweet snacks they eat/make to satisfy a little sugar tooth in order to maintain themselves and maintain their weight loss journeys. Please and thank you!

I’m overjoyed; 11 days of being unable to go; 4 days of being unable to go more than a tiny bit; til today. I had the biggest poop ever and words cannot describe how good it feels to be able to release some of that pressure. The way it literally felt like I was pregnant, the way I went up almost 2 full sizes bc the boating, the way I took a stool softener as a last resort as I sat in the bathroom bawling at 2am on Saturday night bc I had to go so bad and it just wouldn’t come out and I was so uncomfortable and in pain ( I can’t usually take any laxative or anything bc of inflammation and hypersensitivity issues and it wrecking my stomach so horribly and I’m on a low fiber diet bc I also have gastroparesis lol). I just needed to tell someone who understands. 🙌🏻 If you’re like me; just know there’s hope.

If anyone is like me and can’t usually take regular laxatives without complication, what do you guys use or do? I try and eat a lot of pumpkin, I upped my water intake, I altered my exercise, I do stomach massages, and use the heating pad, and I’ll try meditation.

P.s.: no I didn’t go to the doctor ; my GI and I have a protocol to tell me if and when I would need to be going and if I don’t reach that point then I’m not going

Is there any real logistical reason as to why I can’t go online and order a bear unstuffed with a scent? Like why do I have to go online and order a bear and stuff four scents into it just to get the ones that I want to put in others as well and then have to open up my bear and take them out and do it all myself. Also- I’m not really stuffing a bear myself if it comes pre done when I want to take everything to the store and stuff it with love myself. “You can buy scents at the store when you take it to stuff it” yeah- they don’t always have the scents I want in stock and the last two times they wouldn’t let me do that at all. Like come on Build- A- Bear- give me one good reason we can’t get the scents separately and I’ll shut up about it. Not to mention where is the option to stuff is soft, medium, or firm? If they ask it in the store they should offer it online- you literally are stuffing the bear and looking at the order regardless soooooo why can’t we pick? I keep getting these under stuff flimsy bears in the mail and then I have to go to the store regardless to ask for more bc I myself like my bears firm and it’s not a thing I can just let go bc every time I hold them or cuddle I’ll be reminded it’s not the way I want. Maybe I’m overly upset; and I know there’s all these things happening; but it’s BUILD-A-BEAR TO MAKE A SPECIAL FRIEND AND STUFF HIM FULL OF LOVE. IM NOT FEELING THE LOVE AND CONSIDERATION BUILD A BEAR. It’s literally just quality of life things fr fr that wouldn’t really cost them anything extra (unless I’m wrong but I really can’t think it would fr fr) that’s all. Just needed to get out my disappointment as I stitch my friend back up after having to pluck out her innards and my frosted animal cookie scent smells like nothing; nothing at all.

I’m new to this whole adrenal cocktail thing as I’m desperate to get my everything manageable and functioning. I’ve been trying to find an adrenal cocktail without orange juice (I’m allergic) and it feels like 90% of everything I’m reading and seeing has OJ in it. Suggestions of ones that worked for others? Im allergic to pineapple, peaches, mangos, oranges and all their respective juice counterparts. Any other advice is also welcome!

Since I have no one in my real life to cry to; I’ve come here for comfort. They got rid of the only accessible BAB that’s within under an hour of me 😭 I’m devastated (I’ll be ok obviously) but I’m so sad!!!!! I’m unable to drive long distances (due to medical conditions) and was always so happy there was one by me that was assessable for me. Now… nothing… I really am so sad :( and yes theoretically I could get to the other one with planning…. but the ride situation is complicated and BAB is never a “need.” That’s all; just sad.

I have unexplainable vaginal pain- all tests negative, STD, STI, yeast, bacteria, ect. I have a history of PCOS but never had issues like this until now I’m late 20s for age reference; very abnormal for me. I have been on BC for 6 years: no issue, no pain, no nothing. All the sudden I have unexplainable pain that never goes away, hurts to engage in any sexual activity, the pain almost seems to radiate down my legs. My prior ultrasounds apparently showed no abnormalities; I tried going to physical therapy for pelvic floor dysfunction, but I had to stop because I cannot afford it even in my wildest dreams. I just wanna know if anybody else has any similar experiences and did working on pelvic floor work for you? Is that something I should be investing my time and effort into seriously or should I’ve been trying to look into other doctors who might have other suggestions? I’m tired of being in pain and discomfort, and I’m tired of trying things and doctors telling me that there’s nothing wrong when I’m not in the normal. I’ve tried researching pelvic floor exercises at home and I’ve done them off and on for the last year and a half because I did have this issue before and it went away after a couple months but now it’s back; and looking at my future, I don’t want to risk anything wrong regarding being pregnant eventually and I would like to stop being in pain. So I’m genuinely curious has anyone else is unexplainable pain been linked to that and was it better or improved? How did you improve it; like I’m looking for specific things. I am down to try anything because the doctors just keep telling me that I’m fine and being in pain is not fine; and googling on the Internet has proven to be very overwhelming and very confusing for me so far.
