Ouchies ....

Well ok, doesn't hurt that bad but it does tingle a bit.

Was working in my flower beds yesterday and got a touch red on my arms, shoulders, and back.

The up side I got one flower bed weeded, trimmed back (had one flower that propagated like crazy so had to pull over half of them or I would have had a white flower bed) some of the over zealous flowers, reseeded (yeah late in season but the weather wasn't cooperating until recently).

Now to finish my other flower bed today, and then trim back my rose bush's and prune some of the new growth. I also was able to get some beauty bark around my tree's. I was thinking about planting some pansies (I mean dropping packets of seeds wily nilly so its nothing but pansies around the tree) but the hubby said no, cause they tend to spread out into the yard and get mowed down. He is right so beauty bark it was.

And no, I didn't lift the bags of bark, a friend came over and laid them out by the tree and all I did was spread them around.

But oooooof my cat just jumped on my shoulder, guess I am a bit more burnt then I thought. *goes off to look for lotion and aloe*

Better put on lots of sunscreen and cover up before you head back out today. You sure don't need to burn more! Hope you get better quick.

Try vinegar on the burn <you can even warm it in the microwave a wee> apply it with a soft wash cloth. You'll smell but feel OH SO MUCH BETTER!

When your burn is over I'll give you my address and welcome you to repeat what your doing at your house :thumbup:

Laurinda HAHAH nahh not gonna do the vinegar *shudders* but it was really mild, its nice and tan now. Except you can clearly see my chicken pox scars now. LOL reason #7843749782 why I try to stay out of the sun for to long.

As for workin on your flower beds, well, how much ya gonna pay me and do you mind someone doing it with an acid thumb? LOL I just toss seeds in the flower beds cover them with a small layer of dirt and call it a day.

Cept for my roses. For some reason those are the ones things that I can get to grow, and grow nice and pretty. Oh, and Jades, I haven't killed mine yet.... Or the Aloe ...

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
