I just had a great idea of where to hide my valuables. In a Ziploc bag in the bottom of a litter box. No one would ever look there, right? This plan will be perfect as soon as I: A. Get rid of the cat that actually uses the litter box and B. Buy some valuables worth protecting.

Sounds like a great place to me. I'm not no thief, but I wouldn't dare think to dig in a cat litter box for valuables...lol. Good luck in getting rid of that cat and collecting something to put in your box.

I actually made a kitty litter cake for my students a few years ago and they still come back and talk to me about it! It was pretty cool. I baked a regular cake and crumbled it up with some kind of pudding inside, put it in a real litter box (never used, of course!), then I crumbled vanilla Cookies on top that were colored with green food coloring. Then I melted Tootsie rolls and twisted them convincingly on top for the extra gross factor and served it with a poop scoop! It was so great!! (The recipe is online.) I always told my kids that if they missed the bus they had to come home with me and wash my dishes and clean out the litter box so they really loved it.

My luck I would forget they are in there - dump the whole litterbox in the garbage and throw them out by accident. Or, my DF would be wanting to help out and do the same haha.

Seriously made me laugh tonight when I really needed it.

I'd have to add one more condition to make it work - stop being allergic to cats!

A of all, Gibson, I love you!!!!

B'ly, I love the kitty litter cake. As I teacher I have a ton of different fun stuff I like to do for my class. I will have to try the kitty litter cake.

Last but not C, I have spent countless nights thinking of great places to hide money in my house. I have found that the shower rod is a great place too!! And there is no actual feces to deal with.

Gibson,

You have a great sense of humor. Great spot. I was told to put jewlery, ie rings or necklaces, safety pinned to living room curtains, on the inner liner or crease.:)

The only problem with these strategies for me is that I don't have any valuables! But if I did... litter box, nope. in a houseful of cats, this could be dangerous. Pnned to curtains, nope. Saw that once and it showed and deformed the curtains. Curtain rod, well, only diamonds and pearls but paper would be affected by the moisture. Besides, in none of thse places would my diamond tiara fit!

This brings up the question of why wouldn't you be wearing your tiara all the time? I only take mine of to shower. And even though my band is working, I am sure no one wants to see whats in there!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
