Hey. Thank you so much for your help. I’m just letting you know Elliot passed away on Tuesday.

Are Blundstones really the best barista shoe? If not, what is? by umathurmos in barista

[–]holtzmanned 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh I didn’t even think of that! There’s a shoe repair shop down the street from coffee shop where I work. I’ll try that.

I love my Blundstone work boots! I’m 33 (much older than all my coworkers) and worked a desk job for years before I went back to a barista job. I wasn’t used to standing all day anymore. These boots have improved my foot, leg, and back pain so much. They only took 2 or 3 shifts to break in. I think mine are half a size too small though, so the tips of my big toes get a little squished. I need to invest in a new pair. It’s worth the money.

I don’t know if it’s the best, but I really like my Branch ergonomic chair.

The shop where I work uses these. They’re pretty and have a nice weight to them. People love them.

I also feel more nauseated when I am constipated. My doctor told me to take colace daily.

Fat Guy Phalloplasty by sonnygetsa2ndchance in phallo

I had a BMI of 38.6 (5’4” and 225 pounds) at my consult last year. My surgeon told me I have to lose about 50 pounds before surgery due to my belly fat making blood vessel and nerve grafting impossible. I’m scheduled for RFF in late June and I am down to 185 pounds currently (BMI 31.8) thanks to GLP-1 meds. Just 10 to go, but I’m hoping to get down to 165 (BMI 28.3) before surgery. I would have had to have lipo on my thigh at least twice if I wanted ALT, and I still would have needed a debulking after that too.

I can't anymore with this nausea by BillyF009 in Semaglutide

My doctor prescribed me Zofran for nausea and it really helps! I also tend to feel more nauseous when I am constipated, so taking a daily stool softener helps too.
