re: Stye Treatment and Recs

Posted by Lesmeez on 3/23/24 at 9:40 pm
I’ve worked in ophthalmology for 22+ years. I’ve learned a trick or two along the way. The baby shampoo helps keep the bacteria to a minimum. The stye forms from trapped bacteria. :)...

re: Stye Treatment and Recs

A stye develops due to a clogged oil gland. The warm compresses should help. Try doing them 2-3 times a day. Also try using some baby shampoo and washing your eyelids with it. Don’t try to pop it… it’ll just cause more issues. If it doesn’t go away, or gets worse, a simple in office procedure can b...
I live in Lebanon and use a personal trainer in Mount Juliet. He has a gym in his garage with everything you need as far as free weights. I cuss him everytime I’m there and then tell him thanks and see you tomorrow. I’m happy to share his contact info with you. As for nutrition, I have struggled ...

re: Exercise after COVID

Posted by Lesmeez on 11/15/23 at 7:04 am
I got it this year after avoiding it for 3 years. I tried hitting the gym after a week and it was not pretty. Apparently muscle fatigue is a real thing after covid. I could barely work with 10 pound weights. I was actually pretty mad about it. I took it slow after that. Just backed up on my weight...

Check out Primal Kitchen. They make all kinds of condiments that are Whole30 compliant. In fact, I only buy that brand now for all my condiments, salad dressings, etc…...

Indeed. I don’t have a lactose intolerance but it makes me hate my joints. I’ve had 3 hip surgeries so I already have arthritis in them. Dairy makes me remember this everytime I eat or drink it. It really is a helpful diet when you went to shed a few pounds. That’s some amazing progress you’ve ha...

re: Whole 30

I did Whole30 the first time back in 2018. I followed it very strict that first 30 days. Went from 136 to 128 (I’m 5’3” for reference.) Allowed myself some concessions the next few months. I did notice that dairy makes my joints inflamed. I can tell when I eat or drink dairy products because my hip...

re: Walking in a pool

Posted by Lesmeez on 8/16/23 at 6:45 pm
When I had my third hip surgery, my physical therapist suggested I do some of my PT in a pool. It felt great and I always left feeling like I had done a full cardio workout. The only downfall (if you can call it that) was it always made me super hungry and tired afterward....
I’m struggling with this as well. For reference: I’m an RN and use to work at an ASC. I got a new job where I work from home and am mostly sedentary during the day. When I switched jobs, we changed my caloric intake to try to compensate for the change in activity. My BMR is around 1200. My TDEE i...

I usually eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack mid morning, protein drink in the afternoon after the gym. I try to drink at least half a gallon of water a day. I usually hit it but being an OR nurse can make it difficult some days. I do appreciate any and all advice you have to offer, LSU777!...

re: Needing nutrition help

I know how to count and reach my macros, my struggle is creating an actual meal plan. Call it laziness or just a lack of knowledge. I find myself eating the same things over and over again so I really just want someone to lay it all out for me. My current macros that were set for me are the followi...

Needing nutrition help

Posted by Lesmeez on 11/6/22 at 4:47 pm
I am located in the Nashville area and looking for a good nutritionist that can help me with my diet. Bonus points if this person can write me out a meal plan that lists what to eat and when. For reference, I have always struggled with my nutrition and knowing what to eat and when. I have been acti...

So today is day 8. I have been really proud of myself. On Tuesday we had a rep visit us in the OR. He and the doctor were going out for drinks and apps after cases and invited me to come along. I politely declined. Then on Friday this same doctor added on a case at the end of the day. We were litera...

re: Anyone here done an Ironman?

Posted by Lesmeez on 1/22/18 at 6:33 am
One of the doctors I work with did a full iron man in 2015. He trained for a full year. He would take off work when he had to do long bike rides or long runs. He would get up at 4am to do his swims. His goal was to finish in the allotted time allowed, which was 17 hours. He finished in 14 hours. And...

I’m somewhat limited on what I can do because I had 2 hip surgeries last year. My surgeon did say I can walk as much as I want though. So my plan is to walk at least 30 minutes a day. Would like to learn how to swim. Like competitive swim. I already know how to swim so i don’t drown. When I was doin...

After seeing photos of myself from 2012 and being in fantastic shape and seeing photos of myself from this past weekend and looking like a busted can of biscuits.... I am going to attempt this Whole30 thing. I read the book and have the cookbook. My issue is going to be overeating. My mind will tell...
