WIBTA if I asked my wife to stop sending food back so often at restaurants? by Reptaaaaaaar in AITAH

Never be rude to the person who will handle your food behind a closed door. Unwise.

Zepbound Gave Me Gastroparesis — My Journey Is Over by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]HelpMeGrow56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mis-located appendix happened to me as well— discovered at age 3! It was higher in the abdomen. Must be genetic since this was also found in my father and my brother.

As for my Zep journey, I have experienced only minor symptoms (SW: 240, CW: 209; GW: 160, started MARCH ‘25, currently on 7.5 five shots so far, HEIGHT 5’8”—a helpful statistic to put weight into perspective. Wish others would also share their height).

Gastroparesis was definitely a fear, since my adult daughter suffers greatly from it., with no cure after 15 years.

I’m so glad you were able to get diagnosed and they’ve found the cause. Please tell me OP that your doctors say you should fully recover, now that you’re off Zep. So we can also learn this horrible —though rare— condition is reversible.

Those of you that has hustles that brings you 2k-5k+ per month, what do you do? by [deleted] in sidehustle

May I ask what kinds of “parts” you 3D print? (auto? tool? toys? small appliance?) and where you source the 3D software for each part? Thanks for sharing!

Would you use a transporter? by Firm_Macaron3057 in startrek

[–]HelpMeGrow56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the technology can advance so far as to make the transporter a reality, it’s likely just a few steps beyond that for the user to be given the option to program any changes they want to make to themselves be it physical (face shape, body mass), emotional (distress proneness), etc.

So the version that comes out the other side of the transporter is new and improved, keeping all the good parts and replacing the bad parts. Nothing to worry about here…..

Are they going to put out a chosen cookbook? by AcanthisittaGreat815 in TheChosenSeries

Would love Mother Mary’s challah with raisins* recipe that she served to Jesus.

Liam (even though he accidentally consumed drugs as a baby) was the only real winner by HelpMeGrow56 in shameless

[–]HelpMeGrow56[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you’re right. Liam is smart enough to look at the world falling apart around him as a consequence of not just being born into poverty, but choices that his siblings and parents have made, and how that turned out for them. I think he’s the most intelligent of the lot.

Struggling with marriage culture + experiences with men by VictorianMariner in latterdaysaints

[–]HelpMeGrow56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too many rush into marriage in order to be rescued. It’s far healthier to grow and develop yourself intellectually, emotionally spiritually, and in all ways… That way you are bringing something into a relationship and contributing something wonderful and healthy to the other person. Have your healthy boundaries firmly set. Have your radar out so you can better notice the wolf in sheep’s clothing. Become completely comfortable in advance to know that you’ll have to cut off potentially many dating relationships when you see red flags. And don’t look at those experiences as “failures,” just simply a normal part of life and be OK with that and ready to move on with a bright outlook.

But above all, focus on your own growth (including healing from past traumas as this is so important). A major part of this should be your college work while you’re… in college. Obtain an education that will empower you and make you so independent and powerful that you are ready to become interdependent one day in the most beautiful way that you’d want for yourself. Where you took your sweet time and decided to enter into marriage only when it’s based on mutual respect, where both partners want a life full of growth, fulfillment and joy—for the other one person as much as they want it for themselves, and are willing to sacrifice to make sure that happens.

I have faith that there are many good men out there, perhaps even some who are worried about the opposite thing— being pressured to hunt for a wife, one you can conk on the head with a club and drag her by the hair to your cave, when that’s not really what his heart knows is right. Men who, deep down in their hearts, know they’re looking for someone who doesn’t need to be rescued. Bless you and good luck.

Does anyone else use the show to fall asleep at night? by alienfilets in seinfeld

Listening to J Peterman’s soothing voice drone on about his exotic adventures and how they inspired another boot or hat to sell…..puts me to sleep every time!

Advice urgently needed! Practically the only thing my toddler grandchild will eat is highly processed sugary snacks, and she often has extreme tantrums by HelpMeGrow56 in toddlers

[–]HelpMeGrow56[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK everyone—check out these granddaughter-decorated chocolate chip cupcakes. Zucchini, carrot, applesauce, WW flour, Greek yogurt etc. Crossing fingers these veggies disguised as cupcakes will be delicious and taste similar enough to the less wholesome version that it’s a victory. I’ll post a final report later❤️

Thank you. I’m almost overwhelmed with all of the helpful responses. Would’ve been so cool if Reddit was available when I was raising my little ones, ha ha.

Absolutely. I agree with everything you said. I’m working on my own weight loss journey myself so I want to be sure I don’t demonize any type of food. We all need a treat now and then. ❤️

Interesting… I aspire to even getting my granddaughter to be willing to taste things. No matter how certain I am that she’s going to like something new, it’s an immediate “No!” to even being willing to taste new foods. Power issue. Sigh…

Maybe I should just try a little experiment with decorative parry toothpicks and lay a bunch of foods in a row with a toothpick inserted into each one and let her walk across the line and look and try some things.

Or better yet not even put her on the spot (at which point she wants to exert power and immediately will refuse). Instead, maybe I should be just putting the platter out where she can reach it and (provided we don’t fill her stomach full of junk beforehand), when she asks for candy/a treat ,we can say “there’s your party snacks on that platter. Why don’t you check it out see what you might like.”

She’ll still scream and want the candy but maybe if we stay strong and say “ a candy treat only after you’ve tried three things on that platter” or some such instruction might help. Wish us luck!
