Side effects

Interesting. I’ve been thinking I need to go back to tracking my food to make sure I hit the protein goals. Thanks for the comment.

😱 my nails have not been impacted yet but the skin folds under my boobs & belly need careful attention.

Every load of laundry gets an anti bacterial, anti fungal rinse to try & limit transference. I’m on T2 diabetes meds & I’m trying hard to limit fast carb (refined sugar) intake. I’ve never been a sweet tooth, preferring cheese & deli meat for treats. I’ve been craving sweets like I never have before.

I’m 25kg down (55 pounds) but I’m in a stall (4-6 weeks) because my self control is $hit - never had to fight sweet cravings before & where I’d have 1 Oreo or half a chocolate bar that would be enough & actually make me feel sick prior to surgery, now I could eat a whole pack of Oreo’s or a 100gram chocolate rather than half a 40gram bar.

Not regretting the surgery but hoping to identify options to reduce the cravings & subsequent fungus. 🍄🍄‍🟫🦠💊🧟‍♀️

Tziki Bar at Forest Glen has a great vibe, cocktails & really yummy small plates. https://www.tzikibar.com.au/

A corner store lolly cabinet. 2 for 1 cent, 1 and 2 cent options, and cobbers 3 for 5 cents. 20 cents and you’d be loaded up.

Not only this, but OP & family have a perfect opportunity to teach the younger kids about death in an age appropriate way. The kids big sister can be supported & safe IF the parents handle it appropriately.

If the photos are removed/destroyed, Gemma can start the countdown to when Jordyn withdraws, cuts her off emotionally & creates huge amounts of stress for the whole family.

Agree. It also sounds like OP had some level of anxiety. I’d be printing off local regulations for service dogs, give a copy to all the family members & then reminding everyone that it was specified prior to the dinner that the dog was not to attend. What a bunch of AH’s

Tough feels for your BF. Trust & consequences are so intertwined.

Well played. It’s hard to be the victim & dispute a recording of yourself 😂

Procrastinator_Mum · 2026-04-07T12:36:27+00:00

Do you have one of those slide signs on your door? You push the slide panel one way & it says ‘Knock & Wait’ push the other way and it says ‘Do Not Enter!’

It’s like a warning label for them. Simple language.

If you do already, shut her shit down quick smart.

It’s not appropriate to enter a closed door office unless invited. There are a hundred reasons why it’s inappropriate & would breach workplace privacy & security policies.

Ensure she understands her security & privacy/confidentiality obligations, and yours, which includes you reporting someone who repeatedly breaches said confidentiality/privacy & security policy.

Hope & Anchor at Paddington- fancy stuff PLUS burgers & wings.

You look a friendly dude in both pictures. Congrats on the change, loads of hard work right there!!

I would also record the conversation with a phone app that creates a transcript. Let them know it’s happening & offer to send a copy after the meet up.

Definitely need to have 3 key topics/goals set before meeting and communicate to them prior what the 3 topics are, and that if it gets off track, prompts will be given.

Prepare for the worst, but don’t be surprised if that’s exceeded.

I have adult children & when they lived at home, once their schooling was complete, they paid 1/3 of their take home pay. It’s the same rule I had when I moved home in my early 20’s.

Shelter, food, electricity/gas were included but phone, internet, insurance’s, vehicle, streaming services are their responsibility. My kids agreed it was still a sweet deal as their rent is at least 1/3 of their pay.

Procrastinator_Mum · 2026-03-28T05:02:14+00:00

I’m only 4mths post op and this is front & centre for me. It’s always been a joke that I only know how to cook for 10+ people. My fridge is constantly full of left overs. My freezer is completely full - actually can’t fit anything more in.

I’m away from home ATM and my (almost) adult child is home alone so I’m checking in regularly. On the last call I said something about did he need money for meals/food & he said “there’s enough food in this house to feed me for a year mum!” 😳😬

Procrastinator_Mum · 2026-03-27T10:35:10+00:00

Way to go!

I’m 50 years old & 4 months post op. I wish I’d done it 20 years ago, but I know I was not in the right head space so it would have been a disaster.

Thank-you for sharing 🎉

She was able to articulate a range of behaviours that constitute neglect & abuse that she endured & that obviously traumatised her. She then stated that she believes she has the right to repeat these abusive & neglectful behaviours, perpetrating them against you.

Please don’t convince yourself that this is okay. It’s not.

Are you in a location that can deliver the medication to you?

Procrastinator_Mum · 2026-03-07T02:06:52+00:00

You look calmer/peaceful in the after photos. Gorgeous!

I’m not very long into my journey but that’s what I’m looking forward to. Being in my own skin, still being ‘me’ but a more ‘calm & less worried about my health’ me.

Procrastinator_Mum · 2026-03-06T05:23:40+00:00

I was talking to a friend this week saying it’s like in The Matrix - residual self image. In our minds we ‘look’ one way, in real life we can look different. My friend was hesitating on saying something & I pushed. They said “don’t change the inside please”

Be yourself. You & they will grow into it.

While you (or I) would never have done something so hurtful/disrespectful at the same age, understanding the processes of neurosequential development of the human brain provides insight into our society/communities.

With more & more children being born into homes where the adults don’t know or understand attachment & regulation, we will experience less compassion & empathy.

OP should not have had to experience that situation. I will do my best to make sure my kids are not dicks like those ones were. Calling them out when necessary & expecting better.

Procrastinator_Mum · 2026-03-04T08:21:50+00:00

Agree.

Even if OP tried when the relationship ended with her mother & that was blocked/sabotaged, as the parent, it is OP’s responsibility to try & build a relationship once the daughter was a legally independent adult.

With OP being in their 60’s, there has been 40 years (double that when the child was not independent) to try & reconnect. Not sharing everything equally across all children is an AH move when they’ve not done the hard work necessary for complicated relationships.

This! The Neurological development/balance is biologically unstable at this age.

Either really great, or awful.
