gah. Bra shopping today. 'tis such a heinous event. dunno why they don't make those things the size they say they are. It gets tiresome trying on every new style. Although, if anyone is interested, I did find a cut that appears to be designed to maximise the fat under your arms. Seems like a POW style....

Mygawd, I am VERY interested.. . . .:huh:.... . do you mean that this bra magically collects all of one's underarm/tricep fat and recruits it into one's bra cups?

Whoa... . ... .I'd be, like, a double F er sumfin'.... . . .. .

Behave yourselves! We do not want to scare Kiwi away! I saw her(?) on another thread & told her to drop by. Those POW pictures of us might scare her off!

I think POW is how I will determine style from now on.

I have to go throw this iced tea out! It tastes like soap! I knew I shouldn't have scrubbed the iced tea pitcher. I usually just sort of rinse but the tea builds up & I scrubbed it really well. Now it tastes like soap! Good thing Dawn is gluten-free. :blink:

Yep, I'm in Auckland, but don't hold that against me :P

Bra shopping... there is a subject dear to my heart... ladies - proper fitting makes all the difference in the world - I've been known to stop people in the street and let them know why their bra is not fitting properly ;) Back fat is NOT PRETTY! West Aucklanders make POW look quite refined don't you know!

And please don't behave on my account... I have plenty of naughty in me!

The worst, most uncomfortable, ill-fitting bra I evah bought/wore (once) in my life was one bought from a specialty bra shop called U-Fit-In in ChCh. Well, obviously I didn't fit in, in their store or their bra. I guess the shop was designed for those with ginormous boobies which overfloweth all cups and know no bounds, whereas my problem is that I have BIG bones and small mammalaries and the cup sizes for my around size start at something like DDXXXX :lol:

Lol Mushroom. I'm the opposite... lots of filling for the cups, not a lot of ribcage on which to rest 'em... if the band size starts with 12 or 14 (34 or 36 in old money) then it often doesn't quite go high enough up the alphabet :D The very, very best fitter I've ever met is in a little shop in Howick - she's the absolute business and won't let you purchase anything that doesn't absolutely fit perfectly... hmmm... I can feel an expedition coming on.

BE called whilst I was shopping and I told him it could take a while. He thought I was kidding. :blink: I was showing him one of the cute ones :ph34r: and he asked what size I wore. Humorous to me that the actual presence of the said appendages is not nearly so entertaining as the numbers associated with them. :P:rolleyes:

I always liked Lands End suits. You could get different bra types and strategic draping or pleating. As strategic as an article of clothing can be that leaves 80% of you uncovered.

I personally go for a one suit that covers my thighs. can't get around the cleavage part because although I'm only 4'11" I have big boobs. I can't wait to feel well enough to sit in my backyard (while the neighbors kids are in school). Can't go to the beach until the strips holding my incision together fall off. My neighbor without the kids said I'm welcome to sun in her yard when the older ones go nuts on the trampoline. She also make jewelry (very different than mine) so we plan on trading skills this summer.

Today I see the oncologist af find out my biopsy results. Clark took the day off. Will let you know how it turns out later.

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
