I had gallbladder removal surgery on May 8th. It's now May 18th. And between that time frame I have gained 9 pounds.
I am 34 Female, had gastric sleeve surgery July 2020. I went from 420 to 296. April 2023 I started a weight loss injection, and unfortunately my insurance no longer covers it and I discontinued it Mid April this year, after having lost another 60 or so pounds (before this weight gain) over the course of the year. I still have another 54 or so to go for my personal goal of 180 (it's still considered overweight but my stature would look disproportionate).
Anyways. I weigh in on Saturday mornings first thing then the scale goes away for the week. Every 4 weeks I do fluctuate up a pound to three because of PMS incoming. I weighed in on May 4th and was up 1.8lbs from prior week but It was the 4th week rough area. Then I had my surgery. I weighed on May 12th, and was up 5.1! The 12th was not my Saturday so I weighed again today, May 18th and I'm up another 4.0lbs! How!
I'm indulging in some comfort foods. Yes. But also cold cut things, veggie tray stuff, meat tray things (family brought in stuff for ease of eating for my family since I'm out for now). Even at my highest weight I wasn't gaining 5 pounds in 6 days!
I know I just had surgery, and some of it is my PMS (hasn't started but the effects come rolling in and last a week or two before falling off), but not to this degree. I've never gained weight this fast. Reviews even coming off of a weight loss medicafjon doesn't even reflect something THAT rapid. I'm 10 days post op. If it's due to surgery would I not still be going up in weight by now? Wouldn't it have subsided and evened off by now?
I need guidance on this. Is this normal? To fluctuate this much, thos upwards, 10 days post still? After all I've been through, and done as well, that I'm terrified I'm gaining this all back. It took my a year to lose 60 pounds and In 10 days I've gained 1/6 of that back!
Is this normal? To still see weight be going up like this? Does it stop? How long does it last if so?
I havemt been the most sedentary. Doing things more than I probably should be already but I've been moving around a lot. Not just sitting. Taking diuretic medication to help fluid. I had twins in November 2020. In 8 months time I only gained 30 with them. So this is absolutely insane to me.
Help?

my apologies i dont even know where to start but this is getting scary! ive had ongoing constipation issues for months now (started in feb from *perscription pain meds bc of a injury followed by very poor advice on how to deal with the constipation from that, basically told me to abuse laxatives and did so for like a month bc they said it was fine!) and, fast forward thru a while of me just doing nothing about it and still not pooping for 5+ days at a time, i did a 7 day cycle of miralax a bit over 2 weeks ago and that seemed to work pretty well, not perfect but whatever, got most of it out. then it immediately went back to me not pooping for about 6 days! so i decided to start taking miralax again about 5 days ago, and holy hell i am so uncomfortable and in pain and its gotten worse day by day. still havent pooped at all (other than basically justenough to leave a mark on toilet paper) but it feels like its building up waste, if you can somewhat understand what i mean? every day i get more bloated and uncomfortable and whereas the first time i got a little bloated after every dose and it went away in the morning, this time it doesnt go down at all and just gets more and more every day, to the point where now i have a limited range of mobility and i can hardly sleep im so uncomfortable and in pain. its so bad that it feels like theres constantly something pushing against my ribs and it is visably pushing them apart (like my ribcage looks wider than it is), i have to constantly have my back as straight as possible otherwise its way worse, but even that hurts too, physically cant bend over, and i find myself unable to sleep because of the immense amount of constant pressure and pain/ache. i genuinely dont know what to do now! the last time i went to the dr because i hadnt pooped in over a week, she wouldnt even listen to me and basically just said it was because im on the skinnier side (i am not underweight...she confirmed that...said she thinks its bc of my weight because i used to be overweight?? idk what she was on about) and just kinda had me sitting there visably upset cause she wont listen to me at all and she was just being a flat out asshole about it, needless to say she gave me zero advice. so im a little hesitant to even go to the doctor about this out of fear im just gonna get ignored again, but i genuinely can't function properly anymore and its only getting worse every day. i dont even know what advice im seeking, but anything helps because im really scared theres seriously something dangerously wrong.

Also, can it be ordered online using the prescription?

I have been doing keto for 4 months and I’ve lost weight while on medication! Down 30lbs. About 20lbs to go.

Just started taking my first Supplements a month ago. Collagen Peptides and Liposomal Glutathione for antioxidant from Amazon. I can feel my face smoother and hands not dry and not using lotion anymore so the Collagen is working. I don’t know about that Glutathione if its working so. Right now I’m looking for a legit site to buy Supplements like Liposomal Glutathione and Creatine Monohydrate for my workout.

So for some background info, this story mainly take place from when i was 12-18, I'm the oldest of a family of 3 kids and im a 6" softmore in high school and my sister is a 5 and a half woman with knee problems because she is 600lb. I am currently in my late 20's writing this. Her whole life my parents always treated her better because she is the youngest, they would act like me and my only other sibling, lets call him jacob, like we didnt exist. they always gave her anything, if she wanted something that I had they would let her just snoop in and take it. when ever we went to a restaurant she would get extra drinks and deserts. If we saw a vending machine she could get 3 snacks, me and jacob only got to share 1, if not none. you get the point making her gain weight and this turned into a habit. fast forward a few years and I am a senior in high school. When she was 15 she donated her kidney to our mom because she had chronic kidney disease. Now that she only has one kidney, if there was something wrong with one she would die. And in my family I am the only match. one day she was not in the mood for anything. I decided to play some music for me and Jacob. we were playing minecraft for about an hour until she just snapped. she barged and demanded that i turn it down, i said no because she should be nicer and not barge in demanding I do things disrupting the peaceful invironment. I told her to just deal with it and if it was too much of a problem she can figure it out. about ten minutes go by and nothing until she come barging in with a hammer and breaks the speakers and my pc, which i paid for and saved for 5 years to buy. i was devastated and pissed. I told my parents but they acted like i was a fly and said to deal with it. she left and i was sobbing because that was not only my pc but it had out dogs last ever photos on it and they got erased. fast forward a week and she breaks up with her boyfriend, she stress eats alot, and gains 50-75 pounds. now that she is doing this she is around 600lbs and her kidney is failing. I was the only person who could safely transplant the kidney. and i denied. now 6 weeks later on my birthday my parents kicked me out becasue i am 18 and caused the death of their beloved behimth.

I am in desperate need of some thong suggestions for my aurola shorts. I used to just wear nothing, but I’ve noticed that after some serious weight loss I’ve got camel toe I’m constantly rearranging. Now with my dark teal color that’s whatever, but i just bought two XS shorts in light colors and like it is showing all the goods. Do any girls have any brand suggestions or tips for what i can weado to make this not as noticeable? I know some of y’all don’t care, and that’s totally fine, but it’s so tight you can see my unshaven area, and i just can’t have that. If this is the wrong sub for this, please let me know.

Just wanted to go off and give my own experience with ChangeNow. Just stumbled upon the website after the closing of LocalMonero looking for an alternative exchange platform. The UI is incredibly intuitive, there's no registration or authentication required, the exchange process was incredibly fast and I received the right amount with no hidden fees.
I don't want to undermine anyone else's bad experience, but it feels right to share my positive experience, especially given the hard times we are going through with the loss of the main platform for XMR exchange!

Hey all! This might be a bit of a long shot.
For about a year I was using this docking station: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07MKPP1W4/ -- worked great and I was able to close the laptop screen and use my two monitors (a widescreen + a small screen) with no issues.
Fast forward to today, I bought this KVM: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0CY5C63R4 which also works super good: you can connect two external monitors (my displayport + HDMI) and 4 peripherals (mouse, kbd, external microphone, external webcam) from my Windows Desktop PC to a Dell XPS laptop.
Then I tried connecting the docking station from the Mac M1 I have but I noticed the docking station uses 2 HDMIs, not 1 DisplayPort + 1 HDMI, so I bought a mini adapter. It works, but you have to manually every time unplug and re-plug the display whenever you want to switch between the two computers.
A friend of mine mentioned that what I needed was a DisplayLink docking station. So I bought this one: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0BWH6924N?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1
Long story short: I plugged everything in and the screens were black. I read the documentation and it says it needs a software to be running all the time from DisplayLink which takes a bit of CPU, especially on demanding graphics.
So I decided to shop for a new docking station, my only requirement (from the KVM) is 1 DisplayPort + 1 HDMI + 4 USBs (mouse, keyboard, ext microphone, ext webcam) and, to my surprise, every single listing I've encountered states that "due to a limitation on M1s you can't use 2+ external monitors". Is this a recent limitation and if so, how come my old docking station works with 2 screens?
Any docking station suggestions would be super appreciated!

Hi all, I’m looking for some positive stories and kind words. I just started merformin for PCOS and am feeling down. It has been only two weeks, and at first I was very excited to see weight loss in the future, but now I’m feeling like maybe I was expecting miracles. I have been heavy my whole life, and quite frankly l’m tired of it. I go for walks regularly, am active, and I don’t constantly eat junk and yet I’m at the heaviest I’ve ever been. I know it’s too soon, but I’m worried change won’t come. I’m thinking about my weight 24/7 and no longer love my body. I know two weeks is nothing, I’m just ready for this.

I’m 22 female. My weight fluctuates but about 90kgs and I’m 5’2
So I’ve had a fast heart rate for years. No reason but it does affect me. The other day I went on a long walk and my heart rate reached 203 bpm before I tapped out and called an Uber home. My heart rate was fine for 90% of the walk but I guess my body just had enough. Unfortunately now I’ve been in bed for days and I’m sleeping a whole lot. I’m sleeping between 10 and 12 hours.
Realistically I should go doctors but I’m exhausted with them. I saw cardiologist who basically said they would do an echo but mostly I’m just fat and that’s why my hearts fast. But to be honest I used to be skinny i just can’t do anything anymore without my heart having a dance. They haven’t phoned back probably because my echo was fine.
So my echos fine and I’m fat but is this really normal? If so what can I actually do to keep my heart rate under control. And is it related to my sleep? I’m pretty depressed there’s so much I want to do but my body’s acting like it’s 100 years old. I’m on my last nerve and I need some advice.
Worth a note I’m on quite a few meds. Some that are probably keeping my weight up. But I’m on beta blockers already so that’s probably at least helping my heart a little bit clearly not enough. Or I am over reacting and it is enough. According to my watch my heart rate over the last 24 hours has been 49bpm-181bpm. And I’ve been in bed pretty much all day.

I was just pulled aside to an office and lightly reprimanded for being too slow. He was clear it wasn’t a coaching and that I’m very good with customers, but honestly I’m just kind of confused. I feel like I had no issues with this specific team lead until yesterday. Yesterday he just really started getting on my ass and I felt kind of micromanaged. I had just started my zone (I would’ve started earlier but I was covering a coworkers lunch), and not five minutes in I’m told I need to pick up the pace. He knew I had literally just started.
I feel like he saw me not doing anything productive maybe once or twice and is acting like I’m never productive. I almost always get all my tasks done, and on particularly stressful nights, I feel like I’ve just got done working out from all the running around I have to do. I’m a fast walker too, so it’s not like he sees me walking slowly and meandering around. I know for sure I walk with a sense of urgency. This just feels like it came out of nowhere

So background: 23F, 5’4” and around 177lbs. On a weight loss journey right now if that helps at all with CICO.
I’m constipated for the second time during my weight loss journey. Last time, I took Durcolax (about 2-4 chewable tablets) and was able to go after a few hours. I even got some constipation tea a few weeks later that also made me poop a LOT after an hour or so.
I’ve been constipated for a few days, only able to pass small stools. I feel EXTREMELY bloated and my weight has gone up slightly from normal. So I’m trying the laxatives again. 2 days ago, I took 2 tablets with 2 water bottles afterwards. Nothing. Just a lot of peeing afterwards (which was crystal clear). I shrugged and hoped that it would kick in the next day.
Today, I felt really bloated, so I took 4 of the tablets this time with 2 water bottles beforehand. I also had the constipation tea about 5-6 hours after the tablets, since I felt nothing and kept peeing out everything (again, crystal clear). I feel some cramping, but overall little to no appetite and just not even a feeling to go. I’m scared I took too much, but the only thing that worries me is some water coming back up when I burp (not actual vomiting). I’m trying to drink another 16oz water bottle in hopes to move some stuff along. I even tried a black bean burrito with salsa to see if that would help. So far… nothing.
What the heck do I do? The doctors is not an option right now due to insurance reasons.
