1. Which foods do you HAVE to stay away from or they will make you ? Hmmmm. I've only had a few problems. Not because of the actual food but becuase of how I ate it. The first was a snow pea w/ hummus...as I was not even quite 2 months out - it was way too soon for a raw veggie like that. Since then I've stayed away - just because they are a reminder. The other was some chicken breast (roasted from the grocery store)...that, I think it was just a tad too dry and eaten way too fast w/ bites of broccoli that were too big. So basically it's been my fault and not the food actually bothering me.
2. Have you had a full blown dumping experience since having WLS? No, I have avoided anything that has been known to be a potential trigger as I don't have time to deal with the symptoms. Best to just stay away!
3. How many hours of sleep do you need every night to be a happy and functioning person? A FULL 8 hours. period, there is no way to get around it.
4. Which animal do you think describes you best? Why? A dog. Loyal, warm, loving, short- attention span and easily distracted.
5. If you were a rose, would you have thorns? Explain why or why not. Yes I would have thorns because (sung in best rocker voice) "Ev-ery ROSE has it's THORNS."
6. In your decorating do you tend to stay with neutrals or are you bold with colors? Briefly explain. Well...my apartment is full of muted colors. Light sage greens and reds in the living room, lavender and light sage green in the bedroom, sage green and crisp white in the bathroom...and BOLD BOLD color in the kitchen (primaries, reds, yellows etc).....however, I'm moving once I get married to The Boys place (he owns, I rent)...he was a neutral guy...I've added some color already - but he's definately not going to go with anything pastel. So, basically the entire house will now follow the scheme of my livingroom, sage greens, golds, muted reds beige etc. The only exception will be the kitchen - I'll still be rocking it with the bright primary colors....they make for happy cooking.
7. What is one thing you know now that you wish you had fully understood prior to having WLS? Not a thing. I had a very close friend go through it about 3 years ago - I watched her closely and questioned her a lot. She took the time to tell me everything I didn't want to know - just so I would know what it was going to be like and the change my life would make. I feel like I was very well prepared.
8. Do you have windchimes at your house/apartment? No
9. What is one of your pet peeves? Unsolicited advise. It seems like everyone wants to tell me what I should or should not be doing at any given moment.
10. Do you watch your fingers when you type or do you look at the screen? No peeking for me. I actually TAUGHT typing back when I was a teacher. Of course, that was because I was the new teacher...I didn't know how to type at that point, but I got myself a computer program and mastered the technique in the 2 weeks before that first school year started. It's the best skill I ever learned.
