Thanks, Nana, for bumping this. Could someone post these pics on her condolences thread? That would be a nice thing, I think. Maybe it's being done already...

What a beautiful light she has. I am so, so, sorry.

What a beautiful smile she has. Blossom will surely be missed around here at LBT, she had such a sweet and caring way about her. Thanks Nana for bumping these pictures of her.

That's the upsetting thing when threads get bumped, usually sweet Blossom's in there somewhere. Just seeing her avatar each time makes me sad. I wish there was some way we could retire her avatar, like they do in sports.

I mean this with the utmost respect and compassion possible, but can we not keep bumping this thread. I can't stand to see her over and over. It is killing me.

It is like I lose her all over again. Just a suggestion.

I have made a notation as to the contents of this thread. We each handle grief in our own individual way. These photos are therapeutic to some of us and upsetting to others. I am thankful that our shared memories have brought a sense of comfort to her sweet husband and pray they continue to do so.

I would like to explain my comment above. The reason for wanting to retire her avatar is so no one else can use it, NOT because I mind seeing her smiling face, because for me, when I see the avatar, her blonde hair and beautiful smile is what I see. Though the reminders of Blossom remind me I am sad she is gone, it makes me happy to know I had the pleasure to "know" her.

Pat, I think that would be a wonderful sign of respect! I have pm'd Mr. Alex to see if it's possible to retire her avatar. It may take him a few days to respond.

We have been truly blessed to have known her for the short while that we did.

I agree, how would it be handled of someone logged on and chose the same avatar and new posts kept popping up and your heart skips a beat...how do you ask someone to change their avatar? It just seems wrong for someone else to have it. It really would be nice to "retire" it, in honor of Blossom.

      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.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
