Love that first one Haydee, don't see the 2nd. But if you found them online, you can just copy & paste the URL into a message and we can click on it.

I am a bad mommy, last night at about 1am he woke up; we were both up but I had JUST drifted off. So Russ got up to feed him. We closed the air vent because it gets freezing in there, but it makes a LOUD whistling that goes through the monitor, so I remember turning it down and planned to turn it back when he returned.. but then I fell asleep. Russ swears he heard it at 3am whistling on the monitor.. but in any event, at 8am I wake up and I realize I hadn't been woken up all night!! I look at the monitor, and it was turned all the way down.

I felt so horrible as I ran to his room. I keep a Teddy Bear in the corner of his crib, almost 2ft from his head.. and when I went in there, he had scooted all the way up to it and had his face between the bear's legs. :) :) :frown:

He's never moved like that before, so he must have been crying and kicking a lot last night. Bad mommy. I immediately picked him up (he was asleep) and got him a big bottle and took him to our room and was talking to him and trying to make MYSELF feel better apparently, he was still all giggles and coos.

Love both of them, Haydee, but my vote is for the second one.

Glad Laura figured out how to post the pic. I couldn't do it through email.

Laura...Carson is fine and you've learned a lesson, no more stuffed animals in the crib.

I love the 2nd one too Haydee, but the cap sleeves.. I told you my thoughts on those. Make sure you try something like that on, and if it falls off... move on!!

We altered mine and re-sewed them, used double sided tape, and they still couldn't stay up.

LOVE the back of that one.

BCBS still screwing me around. I have had to call at least once a week since MAY. Last week they said they had everything and would get it processed. Then dated July 1 I get a letter (a copy) of what they sent to my doc, needing EVEN MORE INFO!! Lab reports, medical history, physical, blah blah.

So I call today going, how come every damn week it's something new. I pay ridiculous premiums for insurance and when I called in May to see if it was covered, I was told I needed an Rx and a medical form (which the lady sent me a packet of). Then it was something else, then something else, then more and more.. and now something else..

I was getting pissed off at the supervisor, I ended up hanging up on them.. all he kept saying is "I'm sorry ma'am". I'm sorry doesn't cover up for all the BS and run around they are doing.

I hate insurance, I wish it was something I could go.. alright assholes, I'm swapping insurance since you can't seem to get it together.. but you can't.

I don't care about the memorial really, but someone at work keeps IMing me saying how beautiful blah blah, so I turn it on just in time to see Jennifer Hudson sing that song from Free Willy.. that was cute, and then Al Sharpton. Oh please. I hate that man. That's like inviting the Westboro Church to a funeral. It's not about the memorial, it's about making an unnecessary statement and being a complete jerkoff. He always has to make everything about race. MJ transcended race, I can't imagine he'd want Sharpton there with all his venom.

There were lots of great moments, musical and spoken, during the service. Al Sharpton was not one of them.

okay girls. i found another dress and i think i'm in love love love. the only problem is that it doesn't have sleeves. i wonder if a sheer cap sleeve can be sewn in? or a fluttery sleeve? OMG, i can't wait to go try this one on. this is kinda what I wanted all along. a princess dres!

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
