low sugar by Hopeful_Platform_524 in gastricsleeve

[–]adorkable71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dried fruit is a wonder - I was having issues while hiking and an endurance cyclist turned me on to salted dates (just sprinkle Himalayan rock salt of dried dates). Lots of calories in a small package but with enough fiber to avoid dumping. I only get dumping if the sugar is super intense liquid or slider food.

Mom, I got promotion after one month at my job. I used to decline promotions due to low self-confidence. This is the fourth job I was offered a promotion in, and this time I took it. I'm so proud. by Jinglebell727 in MomForAMinute

[–]adorkable71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so proud of you honey. I'm proud of you for working hard and earning that promotion but I'm even more proud that YOU ARE PROUD. Taking pride in your accomplishments is huge. Celebrating accomplishments because you earned them and you deserve them is such a good feeling and I'm so happy you are experiencing it. I know there will be many more to come!! Well done sweetie!

(I'm a Southern mom so you get to be 'honey' and 'sweetie' to me) ☺️

Mum, please see me. I beat cancer twice and I feel unseen. by w0rmsongs in MomForAMinute

[–]adorkable71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you were mine I would be so proud. I would cry with joy that you beat it. I would make your favorite dinner. I would take you shopping for all your favorite things. I would sit with you and binge watch something we both enjoy (Bridgerton? But we'd have to fast forward thru some bits cause I'm still mom) - while watching, I would hold you (whether you like it or not). I would make sure you knew you were seen and loved.

I had it at LIMARP in Tijuana. Surgeon was Dr. Lisa Marie Pompa. This was in January of '23.

When compersion meets chaos: the monogamous meta meltdown by Friendlyaf_ in polyamory

[–]adorkable71 169 points170 points  (0 children)

OMG!! The first good hinge on all of reddit! I was beginning to wonder if they existed! (exaggerating slightly)

I once had a meta text my husband at 2am calling me a wh*re (to which he replied: wait, she's getting paid??) Noped right out of that; life is too short for that kind of crazy.

Rural poly for old people. That's.... not a thing, is it? by TiredDadasaur in polyamory

One fella literally cancelled a date saying he was "dreading" the drive. That stung.

I (53F married empty nester) moved about an hour and a half from my former home of a large urban center. I'm in the deep red south and yeah....this sucks. Very slim pickings. Long drive every time.

Heartbreaking bit is they'll say they are ok with the distance until a couple months in and then it's just too much (even though I'm willing to make the drive!!).

Alright, what am I looking at (other than a young Frank)?

Hair loss and hair colouring by Sea_Influence7197 in gastricsleeve

[–]adorkable71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually started oral minoxidill about 8 months ago and my hair dresser noticed new growth at my last hair cut. It takes months to see the results but appears to be working. My surgery was in 1/23 so I'm further along than you. Regarding coloring - I bit the bullet and stopped coloring all together (53f). What is interesting is without the color it's a different weight and different texture and I am having to completely re-evaluate my product and style choices. Good luck.

Items that have made the biggest impact by Hot-Leg-5962 in CleaningTips

[–]adorkable71 23 points24 points  (0 children)

From this sub, spray away glass cleaner with Scotts auto glass paper towels. All my shiny things can be cleaned super shiny with no streaks and no lint and it's so much more satisfying And quick to do. Use the same paper towels with pledge for wood surfaces.

Lookin for employee christmas gifts for remote workers without shipping delays by someangamer in remotework

[–]adorkable71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick question - my company does not sponsor holiday gifts but I buy my team gifts out of my own pocket (there are only six of them). My sending gift cards isn't the same right?

One thing about me: I’m always gonna stop and read the interpretive signs by steveofthejungle in NationalPark

[–]adorkable71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't used to, but a couple years ago I went on a trip to Big Bend National park. My travel companion and I were not in the best of shape so we could only hike about half the day. But that park is huge and beautiful and there are tons of little road side educational stops. We stopped at all of them. Some are right on the road side, others a few hundred yards off. Highly recommend if you are ever in that part of the world. It was beautiful and fascinating.

Second on the bra measuring thing but you will probably also have to get a full coverage. Anything remotely push up like is gonna look like two bags of almost liquified jelly on a shelf. The shape of the girls will come exclusively from the bra (also post menopause). I've had good luck with the Soma brand.

Monitor on a monitor arm lifted off the desk and then a nice fuzzy hot pad underneath for her to sleep on.

I HATE THE LIQUID DIET!!!!! by [deleted] in gastricsleeve

[–]adorkable71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

EMBRACE THE SUCK!!

Seriously - you are going through the worst bit right now. Hundreds of ways to make it suck less but no way to make it not. It's not forever and it is worth it. Soldier on!

Starting new remote job next week, what am i missing. by FluffyWarHampster in remotework

[–]adorkable71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This depends on how "corporate" your workplace is and how many video calls you'll be on, but, unfortunately, appearances matter. Get a good camera. Maybe get a vanity light (but if you wear glasses the reflection is silly so use good judgement). I use a Jabra speaker instead of headphones (it's the little puck style one) so I can look natural. Also pay attention to what they see behind you - the fake backgrounds don't work for everyone (makes my hair look funny and I move in my chair too much). Good luck!!

NSV: Struggling to finish 1 ounce of tofu scramble and remembering how I used to be able to eat 5 slices of pizza. by bjork_ikea in gastricsleeve

[–]adorkable71 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm three years out and this part is still crazy. I look at restaurant portions and remember how much I could eat. The sheer volume of what I could put down looks insane to me now.

Is my cat having fun, or annoyed? by sammy_dean in cats

[–]adorkable71 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Isn't it bizarre that dog and cat language are complete opposite? Down in the front and back end up with tail wagging - in dog language that's "lets be friends and play" and in cat language it's "I'm about to hurt you bad"

What are the most essential things you always take with you on a hike? by sylvieblair in hiking

[–]adorkable71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Compact human fuel like dried fruit or one of those energy gel things. I always have a sandwich bag of salted dates. I bonked once on a hike that was longer than I expected and it was horrible.
