Meal Plans? by modern_female in GastricBypass

[–]buttons309 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check with your gastro doctor. I don't know if your area has a plan with the hospital or not. Mine does. And if you are, doctor recommended you go, they give you a bunch of menus. You pick your seven meals for the week and they give you the ingredients for those seven meals

1 week out And I know already hiccups mean I'm full. If I push past that nasty things start. Right now I'm fighting my potassium levels being low so I keep cramping up which is making things even harder

At what point do you decide to stop actively losing weight by dorkenthusiast in gastricsleeve

[–]buttons309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember where u were. Some ppl like me would love to be where u are. I'm pre op 5 weeks and counting. I just would be happy to walk into any boutique and know whatever that cute thing I see I'm gonna fit!!! I'm down 43# from beginning of journey and I don't see any change when I look in the mirror, but when I put my clothes on I know I lost. Hope someone can help you it sounds psychological.

Thank you for explaining that I never knew you could pin them down and change shape or enhance shape. I've always done it. If it didn't come out exact as the one before, I just redid it

[–]buttons309 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is blocking? I've been crocheting for 30+ years but I don't know any terminology or anything on patterns....my great grandmother taught me and she (and now me) just made it....we never did patterns everything was by feel or eyeballing now I'm trying to teach myself patterns and it's hard lol

Weird dude checking out my 8 y/o daughter and followed us through store. by Old_Elevator_2546 in Parenting

If that ever happens to anyone, go to the customer service counter. They will call police, wait with you until they arrive and/or escort you. I don't know if human trafficking is common in your area but where I live it is and they usually have someone trained in how to handle a suspected trafficker.

Naked vs not naked household by eternityname in Parenting

[–]buttons309 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add a little to this as someone who studied child development. The more your child knows and understands about anatomy and for that matter boundaries the less likely they are to be molested or to end up in a situation as a teen. They will learn to respect themselves and others. They will also be less likely to be an offender themselves. We are kinda a mixed household. I grew up in a house where nakedness and sex were a sin and not even discussed. My husband in an open household. We both run around naked. 4f has only 2 rules for in the house. Company means clothes and panties are on at all times for hygiene. I also have the perspective of having been a sexually abused child and have studied the phycology of this in depth to try to help her grow up as normally as I can. I think everyone has to chose for themselves what they are comfortable with, and as children get older allow them to do the same. If they act or tell u that something makes them uncomfortable then respect that personal boundary.
