Time for Thursday Talk

[jt2378]

Good Morning Ladies, how goes it?

One of my bosses will be away traveling until second week of July (yay!) and the other one was supposed to be out today but said as I was leaving yesterday she would be in today. GGRR I was looking forward to peace and quiet! I also have a weekly meeting I loathe but at least its my Friday.

@giamia923, how has the cabbage diet been? Any success with it? And no ideas for Father's Day yet.... I need to get on that.

[doglover31]

We had a fun time at My Gym last night, even though he had a slight meltdown when I wouldn't let him get on the trampoline with the older kids there.

jt2378, lucky for it being your Friday!

I;m going shopping for shoes after work today. I got a cute dress to wear for our anniversary outing Saturday but I need to find shoes to wear with it.

Good morning! I have to brag on DH a bit. I had a follow-up OBGYN appointment yesterday for the Never-Ending Epic Period of 2016. I sent a quick text after the appointment to DH with a summary of what we talked about. Based on my text, he wasn't sure whether I was happy or upset about the appointment, so he brought me a cupcake and cookies after work just in case I needed to drown my sorrows in chocolate.

Actually the appointment went really well, I seem to finally be getting back to a 'normal' cycle, and we're more than ready to TFAS.

@giamia923 , how has the cabbage diet been? Any success with it? And no ideas for Father's Day yet.... I need to get on that.

I think it's working.... I'm down 5lbs from last week but I started eating a little better plus no redbulls last week so it may be a combination of that? I'm really trying to stick with it but it's so effin hard!!!!! I WANT ALL THE THINGS!!!

Eating healthy is so hard! I haven't been as strict on my diet the last few weeks and I can tell a difference. It's so hard to get back on track though.

10 days no redbull.

Dude how was I drinking 3 a day?! Each can has 38g of sugar!!!!! omg wtf was wrong with me!

wow, that is a lot of sugar!

[jt2378]

@giamia923, great job on your weight loss! 8 bananas?? as in one day?? LOL

melw629, glad your appt went well and yay for TFAS

doglover31, cute dress and shoes, enjoy date night! I also love red shoes with Navy

N40Mom, have a wonderful time at the wedding, we are here when you need us during hair time

[melw629]

@adulruna Motrin at high dose like that isn't just for pain control--it takes a higher dose to get a real anti-inflammatory effect. So maybe it's to help with initial inflammation associated with getting the IUD placed, and not because of pain.

[jt2378]

@adulruna, when is your appt? Hope its not too painful, i'm sure @lildiamondeyes and doglover31 can weigh in, I think they both have Mirena?

[doglover31]

@adulruna getting the Mirena placed was uncomfortable and I had cramping for a few days after. My OB said that if you have had a vaginal birth than normally placement doesn't hurt as bad (I had a c section).

It's not pleasant but it is a quick process. I wasn't prescribed anything prior. But did take ibuprofen after.

[spacedcadet]

@lildiamondeyes - I just signed up for the diet bet too. I will have to weigh in tonight probably or maybe tomorrow morning. I had forgotten that I still had credit from when I won before. So I only had to pay about 5 bucks. Yay!

N40Mom - Have fun with the wedding stuff.

doglover31 - Cute dress and cute idea for shoes!

jt2378 - Yay for a mostly quiet work day.

@giamia923 - My only thought with eating 8 bananas in one day is how "plugged up" that I imagine you will be. So good luck with that. lol

melw629 - Yay for TFAS!

@adulruna - Good luck with the IUD.

@kait20122014 - J sounds very fashionable.

anniebn - have fun with your wedding stuff.

OMG I've had five out of the eight bananas so far..... hork! I really feel like giving up right now and saying fuck it!

I think 5 bananas is more than enough for one day...I'd skip the last 3. Yuck.

[spacedcadet]

T's and P's anniebn!

[jt2378]

anniebn, T&Ps your brother's surgery goes well and has an easy recovery. Also best wishes to your mom that its nothing. I feel like they do have people come back for mammograms alot, better to be safe than sorry.

[jt2378]

Ya F it with more bananas @giamia923! like spacedcadet said, you probably won't shit now for a week, lol although cabbage for days?? WTF is this diet is right? LOL

add me to MIL who can't handle H crying at all and would have no problem just letting her stay up! ugh

[melw629]

@adulruna, I'm so sorry D isn't taking the bottle. It's hard to hear them cry like that.

The baby I watched earlier in the year hated her bottle too, but she didn't starve herself. Some things that worked for her were warming the bottle nipple, getting the bottle to exactly the right temperature, and swaddling. I also learned when she cried to just hold the bottle close to her mouth. The nipple would brush against her lips as she cried and moved, and eventually she would calm down and start sucking on her own.

We also had some luck with bait-and-switch with her paci, but she figured that one out pretty quickly and wouldn't be fooled for long.

I hope D catches on soon and doesn't give you too much trouble!!

[jt2378]

@adulruna, hugs it will get easier, its so hard with that transition of bottles and going back to work.

N40Mom, wait, isnt this your first Cheesecake Factory visit?? Did you like it?? hope the wedding is tons of fun. *Creeper I knew the Europe one wasn't till July, lol

@giamia923, IMO I say screw it with the cabbage diet but doesn't mean you need to stop eating healthy all together. YOu are doing a great job, especially going to the gym!

@adulruna , Have you double checked your milk for you high lipase?

I have no idea how to do that.

I'm guessing taste it and see if it taste soapy? lol

[jt2378]

@adulruna, i think your safe! Exactly what kait said, the separating is normal and you would taste it and know it from the soap taste.

[jt2378]

N40Mom, ahhh sorry, I think I got you confused with @adulruna and the cheesecake factory, lol

@lildiamondeyes I tasted som I had in the fridge from yesterday and it just tasted hyper sweet. Not soapy or metallic. It separated though but that's normal right? I feel so new now

You will know if your milk has high lipase when you taste it. If it's sweet, it's fine. The soapy taste is very obvious with high lipase. I could easily tell with mine.
