Anyone do Iron series after surgery? When did you feel comfortable starting again? Curious if anyone has any experience.
I am almost 18wpo. I started Iron yesterday. It was leg day, so I could do everything. I’m gonna skip the ab days and probably the glute days (mostly because I hate thrusts 🙈).
Anyone do Iron series after surgery? When did you feel comfortable completing strength training programs?
I’ve had a stubborn suture spit since 6wpo. I’ve left it alone and kept it covered with either Manuka honey or polysporin plus a nonstick gauze. It finally started looking better this week, but then today when I removed the gauze there was blood. It has not bled in the 9 weeks it’s been working itself out. Any tips or suggestions? This is the first time I’ve ever dealt with one of these.
I feel like my bellybutton is suddenly becoming a little crusty and weird looking at 16wpo. What did your bellybutton healing timeline look like?
Do most hotels have irons? If not, can anyone recommend a travel steamer that works with the outlet voltage?
No judgement please. A few years ago my schnauzer was having lots of accidents and drinking more water. The vet diagnosed him with diabetes. I tried insulin shots for a couple weeks and he wore a libre freestyle. His glucose never got out of range where I needed to give him insulin often. He ended up not needing to take insulin anymore (not sure if he was misdiagnosed or ??). He’s been perfectly fine and healthy for the past few years.
Fast forward to this month. He’s 11yo. He’s starting to have frequent accidents in the house. I’m worried something might be up. I’m making a vet appointment for him.
Back when he had to get injections he was absolutely miserable and he was aggressive towards me. He’s the sweetest boy usually, so that really shook us both. If he is deemed to have diabetes, can I refuse to give him injections? I don’t want him unhappy, especially at this age.
Considering getting a bike soon to ride on trails. Any tips or advice for biking in Columbus?
Favorite trails near downtown?
I am 5’2”. I’m at top of the range for XS and bottom of the range for S. Which size should I get?
Any recommendations for local kitchen knife sharpening services?
5’2” 34F. I got a tummy tuck 3 months ago and decided to get a DEXA scan today as I restart/continue my exercise and weight loss journey. Using this as a baseline & motivation and plan to rescan in 6 months. I’m glad my visceral fat isn’t too bad and I’m pretty symmetric.
Really hoping to lose 20-30 pounds in the next 6 months to a year.
Are there ever any schnauzer meet ups in Columbus? Where do you guys find meet up events?
Almost 11wpo. I’ve had this for a few weeks now. Will it resolve on its own?
I still get paranoid about something going wrong…does the incision above my mons look okay?
I’m just about 7wpo. Every thing is closed, doctor is pleased, no issues thus far in recovery. I can’t help but be scared I’m gonna cause an opening or issue still. Should I still be worried?
I’ll be 7wpo this week. I’m feeling a lot better about my incision and recovery. Still swollen. My legs and feel swell like crazy throughout the day. Still getting burning, nerve pain on my incision line. Sneezing still hurts.
Feels great to not be in the binder anymore. I wear high waisted compression briefs and a compression tank now.
Started using Alastin scar cream on my incision this week.
Slowing starting to walk on the treadmill and light weight arm exercises.
6.5wpo this evening I started having a burning sensation occasionally in a 1-2” section of my incision, in the front left. Everything appears fine visually (no opening, no spreading redness).
Saturday I made the switch from my binder to spanx & compression tank and did a lot of walking. Today I accidentally wore compression that was a bit too tight for a few hours. Could any of this contribute to this pain?
Is this nerve pain?
When did you go back to eating at a calorie deficit? I’m 6.5wpo. I’ve been eating without restriction, with heavy emphasis on protein. Now that I’m cleared to start working out I’m hoping to get back to a calorie deficit to lose a few more pounds/ lean out a bit.
Alphonse is almost 12yo Brussels Griffon x Border Terrier. He’s developed some weird behaviors over the last couple of years. Seems to be getting worse. I wonder if this is dementia? He takes trazodone most nights or when we leave for a long period of time. He doesn’t go to the vet until August, should we be going sooner?
Waking up at night and pacing. Sometimes the trazodone has no effect.
Waking up at night and standing in downward dog pose.
Growling at people or random things at night.
Most recently started eating dirt out of our indoor plants
I’ll be 6wpo this week. I’m still very much swollen. I get a weird feeling in my lower, front stomach (especially when I take compression off to shower). It feels like every thing wants to fall out of me. Still gets randomly really tight throughout the day. Anyone else experiencing this?
