Hey Pounder Pals. My eating habit tonight is a protein shake.  I had gastric sleeve surgery last Tuesday, and I'm still on a liquids-only regimen. For those who are interested, surgery went

Yes!!! Not understanding why at 600 pounds they didn't have any issues with the way they looked, but now they want something done about it.  I lost 103 pounds and I have the coolest bat wings, I could

OMG baby deer curled up in the sun! That made me feel warm all over just reading that. Good for you! A shitty workplace situation is definitely one of the most soul sucking experiences a person can have.

It was so cute. He's the only baby I've actually seen so far (it's a large enclosed, wooded area; there are a bunch of deer in there, plus smaller enclosures within with birds (turkeys, Silkie chickens, quail; there was a pair of peacocks but they seem to be gone this year), there's a pond with ducks and geese, pens with pigs, goats, and an emu, and some rabbit hutches. There's a path that goes around so you can walk laps, or it also veers off and leads back to the road that goes through the rest of the park (and there's a dog park way over on the other side). And the lake is across the road from the animals and there are wild geese and ducks in there, too.

No lie. I worked at a law firm where 3 lawyers died one summer. They just hired new ones.

I worked at another place where a really sweet woman complained about a headache, but said she still had some work to do, and pushed thru to complete it. She died later that evening from an aneurysm. You know what the organization did?  They hired a replacement. 

None of this stuff is worth it.

Yikes! No one died, but we did have a layoff a few months ago, which included one person in my department, and then someone else left a few weeks ago for another job, and my boss is retiring in a few months. On the up side, apparently they are doing "something extra" in our raises this year. Waiting to see what that'll be.

If you lack sufficient nutrients it can. But also hair loss is common after any surgery.  Is it the anesthesia? I dont know. Maybe just body shock reaction to surgery.

Probably the body shock reaction. There's a condition called telegen effluvium that basically pushes more of your hair follicles into the "resting" (telogen) stage of growth, so a few months later when they start growing again, they all shed at once and it seems like you're losing all your hair. It often happens after childbirth, but any physical (or severe emotional) trauma like surgery or serious injury can cause it, as can certain medications (including high doses of ibuprofin) and high fevers. It happened to me about three months after I had the flu/borderline pneumonia, which involved several days of high fevers and a lot of ibuprofin. I lost enough hair to cover the shower drain every day. It wasn't noticeable to anyone but me, but it freaked me out until I figured out what was happening. It lasted a while and then my hair settled back into a normal growth cycle, though I'd guess if the cause was something more chronic/long-term it might cause more noticeable hair loss.

I envy you!  On my walks around the office, I keep running into the same chipmunk and I am starting to feel bad about scaring the poor dear!   We only have chipmunks, squirrels and small songbirds.  At least the roses started blooming and it smells amazing out there.

 

I love being outside, I can't imagine how 600+ people live without going outside for years...

The street my office is on has a newly built boardwalk for safe walking (it's a busy, 50 MPH road).  There have been 2 dead, rotting dear just off the path for months now.  Apparently the township doesn't clear carcasses.  It's awful.  And more than rotting, at least one deer is serving as a food source for something else.

remind me - what was Diana's reason for the weight gain? I've noticed that many of these folks were abused, sexually, or otherwise, along the way, particularly as children, but I don't think that was her reason. I could be wrong, though

I think she said she had been molested as a child... it was in this episode, and I think it was her rather than Ashely.

Why is this 3 hours?

I just checked tomorrow night's TLC schedule. The supersize episode of THIS episode reruns at 8:00 pm and ends at 10 for another episode of Skin Tight. So, either they shaved out an hour of programming to create a "super sized" episode or this three-hour episode is really just a two-hour episode and TLC has no idea what they're putting on at 10 tonight.

Watching Ashley makes me seriously consider just taking the rest of the chocolates I made on Sunday to work rather than finish them myself...  but I only kept a dozen for myself anyway.  Decisions, decisions... 

I am giving up sweets for the summer. I am not thrilled about it.
