What's on your Tuesday Menu?

I wish more long term post ops would come and post regularly. Most just pop in once a year for the "it's been 9 years" or "I gained it all back" posts, but I wish more people could hear the day to day ups and downs and regains and successes because this surgery is not really about the first three years--it's about using those first years to get good at this, so you know what to do after the magic disappears!

Good Morning JB and Menuers,
Well Congratulations on 12 years JB. It really is great to see that you have had such great success. It scares me when I go to support and the people who are struggling to get back to where they were. You are proof that is can be done as long as you keep everything in check. I love coming here for the accountability and being encouraged by all of the vets who are out there killing it.
I think I am going to file a BBB Report against Hopper for the ticket I purchased to go to OH conference. I have never heard from them even after numerous emails and they have no way to contact them. I did get the ticket canceled through the airline but they never did anything for me. We will see. I still have credit for AA for next year if there is a conference. Fingers crossed.

JB: You are so pretty in your before picture and I bet many people told you that you did not need surgery. I am glad you did it for your health.
I watched a Dolly special on Netflix this week. Now I have Eagle When She Flies playing in my head. I used to get up on Saturday and put that song on replay while I cleaned the house. It still gives me hope and energy.
