  1. on day four the hunger lessened. I went on pintrest to find ways to change my shakes up. Frozen fruit blends helped a lot
  2. Yes I know! I thought I was rather A Sexual. Know I've got to do it but it's so much effort. And now.... Lol!
  3. I have had it chronic before In the past for 3+ weeks where the gout starts in one part of your foot and the. Moves/spreads to more. I get it all over the foot. Mid foot big toe if there's a joint in my foot I get it. I've tried gout products teas tinctures. Acupuncture. I take allopurinol and miss taking my indomethacin. The swelling is starting to go down thank god so I should be able to sleep!
  4. If you get bumps from shaving or ingrown hairs I have a solution. My gf was a dancer for years and stayed shaved she taught me that if you use stick deodorant right after shaving it somehow cuts the irritation down. It works amazing. I hate the idea of antiperspirant. Since It causes cancer but deodorant alone is ok
  5. Ok I'm just a few weeks post op and I don't know if it's the hormone changes or what but ???????????????? I feel like a 18 year old guy! And I was reading the guys thread (yes I know it's a no no) and they talk about better erections due to more blood flow... All I know is orgasms are way better. Also Quicker To achieve. This is tough because it's obvious my relationship is coming to an end. And now this!! ????gets rung !
  6. Ok I hear guys talk about blood flow makes there penis more erect. But umm am I alone in the quicker orgasm for women? I don't know if it's the same deal but ????☺️ but already way better. And I seem to be craving it way more than my other half. ????????
  7. And yes the bed sheet is too much. I honestly would rather break a bone! And this from a cowgirl who's broken many many bones. I will look into the second medication ASAP thank you
  8. hmm yes I could cut it off right now but I'm so loaded on pain pills... Tomorrow there may be a few regrets. I soaked in Epson salt and elevated above my heart. Ate frozen cherries and cherry juice (taste nasty) but swelling has gone down some. I honestly thought my skin was going to split
  9. I had no pain. I woke up and smiled at my nurse asked her did I have surgery. She laughed. We spoke for a moment asking me my pain level. It was zero. She had me start moving me feet and legs then sit up. She got me a walker and I did a short walk sat down for five min. Walked the second time where she told me to slow down. And I was terrified before hand . Some post op people were moaning and groaning. I walked slow but didn't even need pain pills I took them the first night out of fear of pain. By the next day I walked 5 miles. And was a little tender that's it. I'm almost two weeks post op. And it was a cake walk
  10. Wow so glad you went to ER and caught that!! I hope you feel better
  11. This is horrible. I guess my first year I will deal with my gout and kidney stones more than usual. I can handle pain. I have an extremely high tolerance. I want to cut my foot off right now. Pain pills are not touching this. I have got to get the swelling down. Any ideas. I've soaked foot in Epson salt and munch on frozen cherries. But I can't walk,sleep anything!!! Why can't I have indomethacin??
  12. Ok i sent an email about vitamin patches I will post as soon as I hear back
  13. I found a ton of recipes on Pinterest
  14. Nights pre op were my worst. I would get raw veggies and Greek yogurt mixed with ranch dressing dry mix and survived. I did cheat a few times
  15. Laser is what I did 700$$ for nadda
  16. I started in week one with my rooster sauce. I put Sriracha on everything
  17. I wear the vitamin in skin patches.
  18. I too did electrolysis and had no change! It's miserable. I wax and wax and did I mention wax. I swear it's a never ending battle.
  19. I'm enjoying some soft Mack and cheese. Im not having a hard time introducing food at all. I'm just making sure I chew chew chew
  20. Oh pre op the making ranch dressing trick was awesome I just made raw veggies and dipped them. I so miss that right now
  21. Ok dr office today said 293 that's 31 lbs down since pre op my goal is 278 15 lbs and if I meet this goal I'm buying a new red dress
  22. I don't know what faze your in but ranch dressing powder mix is great. Also I add to black bean purée. It's like sour cream. Also PB2 with protein powder frozen then blended is good. I hate it if not frozen first.. Textures freak me out. My friend makes frozen yogurt dots check Pinterest out too
  23. I think it's really insightful that you recognize that fear. I knew I had an unhealthy relationship with food but it's stunning how uncomfortable emotionally I am dealing with issues with out food. I started therapy and had to look at how long food had been used to stuff emotions. All I know is after one therapy session I was uncomfortable not being able to eat poorly... Just as I was told I may!!!
  24. So had a session with my new therapist. And we shall see how it Gos. I will tell you that the talking brought up food issues!
