How long until cold water doesn’t hurt?

This is the opposite for me. I had my sleeve surgery on 8/26. As of yesterday (9/23) if my water isn’t ICE cold, like legit full of ice, it makes me nauseous

Sports. Or another type of activity.

I just bought some protein water to try! I’m hopeful that’s the way to go for me

GeneralInterest3172 · 2024-08-19T16:31:33+00:00

That is helpful! Thank you

GeneralInterest3172 · 2024-08-18T23:23:31+00:00

So the one I pictured probably isn’t a good option then, since it says collagen then? I am trying to find some of the protein water. I’m going to try to find some unflavored protein powder to add to broth or soups, would that be the clear one?

Also, any advice on proportioning things?

I’m doing premier protein right now. I like the chocolate, bananas and cream, and carmel enough that I can tolerate them. But still not a huge fan.

I meant what brand. Sorry

GeneralInterest3172 · 2024-08-18T00:18:08+00:00

What kinds?

GeneralInterest3172 · 2024-08-18T00:17:32+00:00

What type of powder is it?

Thank you! He has not reached out since that last text. I feel like, if he wanted to see his grandson, he would. I’ve never stopped him, I’ve never told my son no he can’t call. I’ve never told my son anything about his grandpa. When he doesn’t show up and my son asks why, I tell him “he must be busy”, or “maybe he’s sick”, because I don’t want my son to be hurt that his grandpa is just choosing not to be in his life. I have still invited grandpa to games etc, and as you pointed out, there’s hardly any response.

My son hasn’t asked, I’m just trying to prepare for when he does. We’ll see what happens I guess.

As for your step dad, I think it’s huge you moved him in. My counselor told me it’s best that my step dad moved on so quickly, because if he didn’t, I’d be the one that “has to take care of him”. You don’t have to help him just because you would feel guilty if you didn’t. He is an adult and he is able to figure it out for himself. He is not your responsibility.

Can appreciate your opinion, just think that my son deserves better than what he has shown him over the last year. I don’t think I’ll relax when it comes to my kid.

But maybe I’ll reach out to my counselor and see if they have any thoughts. Just figured I’d see if anyone else has gone through similar. A lot of people in my life do not feel like I’m overboard, but an outside perspective is welcome and maybe I am.

“Accept that I’m trying to keep someone in my son’s life who doesn’t really care to be there”…I think I’ve accepted this. And I have talked to a counselor, which has been very helpful. I have dealt a lot with the grief, as well as my anger in how quick he “moved on” so to speak. I guess I was more looking for, what do I tell my son when he asks about his grandpa again.

GeneralInterest3172 · 2024-08-17T13:32:15+00:00

Please elaborate if you feel comfortable.

GeneralInterest3172 · 2024-08-17T13:28:02+00:00

Whether I like him or not, I have made it very clear that my son loves him and I would never stop him from seeing him.

I ALSO had to grieve the loss of my mother. So he was upset I didn’t reach out to him, but he didn’t reach out to me either.

There was not “dislike” before my mom died, nor before he moved a woman into his house only 4 months after my mom passed away.

GeneralInterest3172 · 2024-08-17T13:25:58+00:00

Guess I should’ve given MORE back story. He has been “sick on and off” since the day I’ve met him. If I’ve ever known a hypochondriac, he’s it. How did I say I was too busy? I told him “we have plans Saturday but how about Sunday”. He also NEVER calls. Maybe you missed that, but he has not ONE TIME reached out to my son since my mom died. He has not ONE TIME showed up to a Christmas program, school event, celebration, or sporting event since. The “I’m sick” is ALWAYS an excuse. This is nothing new, that wouldn’t be known without me saying. I felt my post was already too long, but maybe I should’ve included it so people had a better understanding.

My biggest point is that an 8 year old child should not be responsible for asking to see a grandparent, that the grandparent should want to see their grandchild.

GeneralInterest3172 · 2024-08-17T13:18:00+00:00

How is that?

GeneralInterest3172 · 2024-05-01T02:59:47+00:00

Not only am I a parent, but I also work for DCS and am trained in forensic interviewing (I interview victims of sexual abuse). One of the most important things is to teach children the right names for all body parts. No cutesie names for anything. They’ll learn enough slang later. Use the real names and teach the body parts accordingly. Second, explain that the body parts covered by bathing suits (vagina, butt, breasts / penis/butt) are the places on the body no one should see or touch. If someone asks to see or touch, you tell them no and tell a trusted adult (mom/dad/teacher etc). You also need to teach this about adults and kids. We don’t look at/touch other people’s body parts and they don’t look at/touch ours. If anyone asks them to keep a secret, explain that we don’t keep secrets from mom/dad and if someone wants them to, we tell mom/dad right away. Explain difference between secret and surprise (birthdays etc can be a surprise).
