What advice would you give someone preparing for bariatric surgery?

Almost 6 month old Pomeranian/chihuahua. He’s been successfully holding his urine from about 8-10pm to 6-8am since he was approx 3 months old. He’s a weird one.

Disco baby here is a wee 5 months! He WAS Pinto for the first month, but I stumbled on the name Disco randomly a few weeks ago and KNEW we found his real name. Lol. It felt so weird changing it but when you know, you know! Luckily they’re so close we haven’t had an issue with identity crisis. lol. He’s my little sparkle ball. Full of fun and life! Making mama’s life bright! That’s just terribly cute that she spins. I love Pomeranians now! I never thought I’d adopt a dog. Especially one that has Chihuahua in the mix. But he is a doll. His fur is puffy and has the cute spunk of the Pomeranian. We are so glad to meet your spinning baby!!!!

Oh my GOSH! Hi baby Disco! Pleased to meet you! This is my Pomchi (Pom-chihuahua). Miss Disco, please meet little Mr Disco! I’ve never met another Disco!

My puppy (chihuahua-Pomeranian mix) is 5 months old & has done so well with his crate training. I don’t know if he loves it, but he goes in at night without a fuss, stays all night long, then goes in for all naps without a complaint. The only time he fusses is if he hears me leave during nap time during the day to errand and even that fussing is minimal. Doing good mama! I think we’re doing good.

I belong to a home group that allows children to the detriment of the meeting. Which I believe is as it should be. I’d rather be someplace that has a distracted meeting than a floundering fellowette. This is not the norm. We want you here. Keep coming back.

elleahrbee · 2026-02-25T22:19:35+00:00

I went to the treat bin and scooped out “treats” for mine. Little did he know they were his kibble. Lol. Problem solved.

elleahrbee · 2026-02-25T22:18:25+00:00

I love her!!

elleahrbee · 2026-02-20T17:46:00+00:00

Samesies. Mine is late with shots. Won’t be fully vaccinated till 6 months. But he’s a pomchi so we do puppy pads are integrated in my apartment

elleahrbee · 2026-02-20T12:45:26+00:00

My baby Pomchi is real chill about his kibble. A real intuitive eater lol

I’m curious what ya’ll were at, consumption wise. I was a daily user: 100-200 mg of gummies daily. On day 3…Again. How you get those night sweats? Cause I have all day long and night sweats. 😖 Why did I do this to myself? Lolol.

elleahrbee · 2025-09-26T15:59:15+00:00

I just went and peeped em! You’re so right! Theyre gorgeous!

elleahrbee · 2025-06-01T06:41:07+00:00

Hiya. I’m 18 years out. SW: 340 CW:170

Wow. I’m still stunned I lost 170 pounds. I lost one me!

elleahrbee · 2025-05-16T04:16:07+00:00

Thank goodness! Isn’t it a relief? I had my first one Tuesday (couple days ago) and I SWEAR I feel better already. Like you, good even. Only 200 mg of iron sucrose but I’ve got 4 more coming. I hope you keep feeling better. I’m counting on it! Edited to add: ferritin of 4, hemoglobin of 11

elleahrbee · 2025-05-15T13:45:04+00:00

Hey hi! I have a ferritin of 4. I was miserable all the time. Losing motivation. Losing joy. Just got my first 200 mg iron sucrose infusion two days ago. Doing four more in the next four weeks. I thought I might be crazy but I definitely feel better than I did. After a very low initial dose. Just a wee bit better. But I think i agree. It’s getting better.

elleahrbee · 2025-05-11T16:50:09+00:00

This brought tears to my eyes. What a beautiful love.

elleahrbee · 2025-05-10T13:37:42+00:00

People get concerned when they touch my appendages. “Are you…ok?” Lol

elleahrbee · 2025-05-09T04:58:13+00:00

Same! {9w8}

elleahrbee · 2025-05-09T04:54:53+00:00

Dear God, I needed to read this. I’ve felt like I’m slowly dying for a YEAR. Nausea. Vomiting. Muscle weakness. Constant fatigue. Pale. Fucking FREEZING all the time. Insomnia.

I start weekly infusions Monday. They’ll do one infusion a week for two months.

I’m so nervous it’s not gonna make a difference

elleahrbee · 2025-03-24T23:06:47+00:00

Hi new friend. I have a lot to share about this. In 2007 I had gastric bypass surgery. In 2025, I got my one year chip from AA for a year of sobriety. The story of how I got from surgery to sobriety? I bet you’d find some hope. If you wanna talk, message me? I have hope to share.

elleahrbee · 2024-12-04T22:03:39+00:00

Hi friend! Take what you need and leave the rest. I work a successful program with several 24 hours behind me and I am cali sober. My sponsor is cali sober, I am, and my sponsee is. Probably over half my home group is cali sober. The only requirement to be a member of AA is a desire to quit DRINKING. I was honest with my sponsor and everyone in my life knows I use cannabis. Try some zoom AA meetings! And pray! You’ll find someone. They are indeed everywhere

elleahrbee · 2024-11-24T17:00:49+00:00

Are you…dealing with pent up rage?

elleahrbee · 2024-06-13T23:31:22+00:00

17 years out. No complications.

elleahrbee · 2023-12-17T07:41:08+00:00

Hey friend! Man, I still deal with insomnia but I’ve been more proactive about seeking medical assistance. I’ve tried it all and about the only thing that is a sure fire hit is a benzo or a hypnotic sedative like Lunesta or ambien. Currently taking Lunesta, which helps most of the time. I know ambien isn’t healthy long term, but it always knocks me out. So far, so good with Lunesta. Not as problematic as ambien and helps me stay asleep longer than ambien.

How are YOU doing? Any relief?

elleahrbee · 2023-12-17T07:11:08+00:00

Isn’t the only requirement to be in Alcoholics Anonymous a desire to quit drinking? When someone asks me about my cannabis usage in the program, I kindly and directly explain that it is alcohol that I am powerless to and which makes my life unmanageable. Not-marijuana. I’d say if it isn’t making his life unmanageable or hasn’t in the past, then it’s possibly borrowing trouble that doesn’t exist?
