Remember?



Recommended Posts

What kind of things do you remember as a kid. Like candy, toys, clothing, etc.

When I was 6 I REALLY wanted this doll called Velvet. You turned the knob in the back and her hair got short, you pressed her belly button and pulled her pony tail and her hair got long.

Oh how I loved that doll. A few years after I got her I decided she needed a hair cut ROFL !!!

I had an easy bake oven. I also had My Little Ponies that had tails like your doll. You could pull the tails out really long, and if you turned their heads back and forth it got shorter.

I also had one of those dolls where you could do the make up and hair. And one of them, the hair changed color when you heated it up with a crimp or curling Iron. Or maybe it was one of those Water ones, so there was no 'heat' envoled... I don't remember, lol.

:D

As a kid I would set an alarm to be able to watch this cartoon. Anyone remember him? I would sit in the living room and yell with him at the top of my lungs. My mom HATED him.

Who can recognize him????

My hero....

Thats to cool Jenna, I remember watching that show. Its funny because Saturday mornings were the best when it came to watching cartoons. I remember with each September there were new shows, some were take-offs of regular shows, like the Brady Bunch, The Jackson 5 :D Now there's nothing Saturday mornings (well not like it used to be thats for sure).

Does anyone remember the Groovy Ghoulies (sp?).... I'll try to find a picture... Ohh and Sigmond & The Sea Monster (the Kroft shows), the evil brothers Burp and Slurp LOL

Johnny Quest and Simba the Lion were two of my favorite cartoons. (Of course Bugs and that series always tops the very favs - PePe la Pew, the witch that always had the hairpins flying everywhere, the little martian guy...)

Speaking of martians, loved My Favorite Martian, Mr. Ed, I Dream of Jeannie...

And ZOTZ and PopRocks were hip waaay back then... ;D Purple Passion soda - yum... lol

      I joined BariatricPal in 2008 & I FINALLY made the descision to have WLS!! I'm so excited & not sure what I need to do to get the ball rolling, but I made an appointment with my PCP for 7/19. It's a start I guess.

      I joined yesterday when I was struggling with this preop diet... 
      It typically comes and goes, the hard times and easier times. I'm on day 6 of 14  shakes, water, sf Popsicles and jello. And I might actually be losing my mind. But, oh dear lord has the fear set in. Not about the surgery itself, but life afterwards. If I feel this crappy on the preop diet, am I going to feel like this forever after? 
      I know most of the answers are no, not forever. It might be worse after for a while, then get better. I know it's a more of a mental challenge than physical after the first couple weeks of healing. I get all of that. But I'm starting to feel scared about losing myself afterwards. 
      It might be my hormones or desire to chew something salty talking.. It may go away soon or tomorrow.. I can hope, anyway. But right now.. The fear is real. 
       
      And this liquid diet can bite me.

        Fear is normal, but if it makes you feel any better, I'm 4.5 months post-op and the pre-op diet was by far the hardest part of the whole process. There will be challenges and a lot of new things to learn, but I can honestly say at this point I feel so much more "back to normal" and was even able to go on a week-long vacation with my kids without stressing over it. It's so worthwhile.

        @NickelChip This actually does make me feel better! Thank you so much! After the onslaught of Covid, we've all had to deal with a "new normal", so I know it's possible. It's just the fear and frustration in this moment that makes me question if I can find another "new normal" afterwards. The thought of just a few more months seems daunting some times, but I really do appreciate input and real experience. I'll use that to get me through for a few more hours! LOL. Thank you so much! And I'm glad everything is going so well for you! ❤️

      I started my 10 day pre op diet yesterday I need flavor!! I'm not big on the chocolate protein shakes so I just got to use up what I have was thinking about freezing it to make it like a ice cream so its something I can chew a little. Idk this is hard but I know I can do it just need to find new things to try

        You can try. I've read other people have had good results with protein-shake popsicles, etc. My personal experience with it? Sucked.

        I tried making 'fudgesicles' with a couple different flavors of a premade shake, as well as a protein powder I blended myself and all of them came out revolting? The powder ones, all the protein sunk to the middle; the premade shakes, the popsicle had a disgusting texture and the protein seemed to leave a weird fluffy film on the outside? I couldn't stomach it.

        Maybe look into flavoring additives? I was able to have sugar-free coffee /soda syrup flavorings, sugar-free drink flavorings and baking additives like almond, rum or pepperment extract. The extracts helped me the most as they added no extra sweetener.

        On the other hand, if you can get your hands on an unflavored/unsweetened protein powder, the syrup flavorings are perfect. I love to use Boost "Just Protein" (which is unflavored) with milk and a Chai-flavored sugarfree syrup.

        Good luck!
