Question: A guy needs advice!!!

Maybe I should just put my pants in the dryer and try to shrink 'em.
Don't laugh -- it works! First wash them in super-hot Water for maximum shrinkage. Of course, the pants may get shorter but no narrower. . .

I'm a line dryer myself, but if you haven't had any complaints from Patty, just keep doing what you're doing. You must be a wonderful husband indeed if this is the only thing about you that her complaining friend can whine about!

Yeah, Betty, I am glad I asked. I was truly stumped. And I didn't want my personal feelings to interfere.

Thanks guys, I know it may have sounded like a silly question, but I know what to do now. I'll dry them just as I have all along.

I put mine in the dryer and I have hefty ones. I think you are awesome and yes you should put your pants in the dryer too.

Well, I am late to this thread, but just wanted to put my 2 cents in, LOL! I buy fairly expensive bras and I want them to last a good long time so I hang em up to dry. Now if my dh does the laundry he always puts em in the dryer. Am I gonna complain? HELL NO, HE DID THE LAUNDRY!!!

Ryan, you just keep right on doing what you were doing. Becky should be proud that her dear friend has a husband who is so willing to do all the things you do. Shame on her!!!

OK, I'm super-late to this thread. I line dry mine. It's so strange when you are a caregiver and helpers come in and end up getting involved in your loved one's underwear. All the former boundaries disappear. My Mom's best friend shamed me into buying her new bras. She was right, but it was just strange to have her going through my mom's underwear drawer.

Ryan,

I never dry my bras in a dryer. I buy bras that last for years if treated right. This is what my mother taught me & I have always air dried them & they last a long time. I just set them flat on top of the dryer while the rest of the clothes dry. That way they get a little warmth to help them along. It goes quickly. They are expensive ($60-$80) each. You want them to last a long time. I do have a few less expensive Victoria Secret bras which I will tumble dry but only for a few minutes.

      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.
