Thanks!! The hospital I job shadowed at has a lot of young moms (like a lot of 14-16 year olds) :-( and moms with substance abuse issues, which of course effects the babies. :-(

I got to spend several of the 12 hours I was there just holding and feeding one little one that had drugs in his system who's mom was too busy on her phone to do it. It's so sad, but I need to realize not everyone has that instant instinct or desire to "mother" her baby.

Yes that would be the 1% you have to deal with unfortunately but remember your there to give them the best start they can get. It does suck knowing what kind of environment they might be discharged too. Don't get attached. I really do love my job.

LOL, It looks like just a blank post in that one post. :-)

So true, I can see myself getting attached, so I'll have to work on that! All I could think of if that baby is being ignored at the hospital, what is going to happen to him at home? :-(

I'm not sure? LOL...I've done it before, a long time ago, but I can't remember how?

Hey everyone!!! I haven't been on here in way too long! I got married on May 20th! I'll try to post a picture.....

Our honeymoon was amazing--we went to Maui for 9 days. Wish we could have stayed for a month!

Overall, doing well! Taking just one summer class right now. Chemisty. ICK! I hate it!! Only 2 weeks to go, then I'll have a break until August 23rd.

I've been SUCKING at working out!!! I really wanted to get in shape this summer since I'm swamped with school/studying all Fall/Spring. (Nice excuses Amy....) But I've yet to do more than several couple mile walks in the evenings. My body is "loose!" I need some accountability....

My eating hasn't been "horrible" but I know I've lacked on fruits/veggies. Weight is holding steady, for right now.

Anyway--Better get some work done. I just got here from class. Just checking in with you all!

      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'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.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
