One odd fact about you



Recommended Posts

@@shedo82773, you may not be able to find out which ancestor to blame for your funny toe. The closest I come to your situation is that no one knows how I turned out left-handed. Anyway, I hope you don't trip over the toe when you're barefoot.

@@Who'sThere, your friend most definitely is beautiful as is her friend. My second hope here is that she doesn't mind your putting her picture up in this den of dubious characters.

WLS, thank you. I chose this pic because it's already public. Her husband is a photographer and this is a picture he has used to advertise.

I drink my milk straight from the cow's udder.

And I delivered my neighbor's baby in her bedroom. I was an RN, working in OB at the time. Really bad snowstorm, her husband was gone, and the baby came before the paramedics could arrive. It was a girl. They named her Maura (kind of like Mary, right?) She's a civil engineer now.

Sorry, that's two facts.

Mine isn't really odd, but I do love it for a couple reasons. :) In my line of work I get to meet some pretty awesome people. One of my favorites was my idol Aretha Franklin. This pic was taken (clearly) before we both had weight loss surgery. That's kind of why I love it...you know, because me and my pal Aretha have so much in common. lol

@@proudgrammy Thank you! From what I can tell, she's done very well with her surgery. I'll tell you a funny story about that day with her. She was incredibly gracious and kind, but everyone who was there was instructed to NOT TOUCH HER. Even if we photographed with her, we could stand next to her, but not put our arm around her or touch her in any way. So basically everyone just snapped candids. I didn't care, though. I was hanging out with ARETHA FRANKLIN!!! LOL

I like to collect potato chips that look like famous serial killers.

(Naaaah, I don't. But that would be a very odd fact if it was true.) :)

I about choked on my coffee!! LOL NOPE I don't trip when I'm barefoot!! LOL Altho I have never been told that I am graceful. LOL I had an Aunt that seemed to be jealous of me if I went to work she did at the same line of work if I bought something she bought it too. LOL She made sure that I was told many times that I was clumsy. HHMM it is no wonder I had dippty dip do for confidence!! RIGHT

I am a beauty product *****. I own about 150 bottles of OPI and Zoya nail polish. My dressing area looks like a mini Sephora. I can't get enough of eyeshadows and I own hundreds. Also, it's not a good day unless I have glitter on somewhere on my body. Yes I am a 15 year old trapped in a 45 year old body!!

Love reading everyone's responses.

We are soul mates.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
