1. Favorite goal achieved post-op- Too soon to assess. But biggest surprise is I haven't done some whoop ass on a bottle of beer! Guess it helps knowing it would HURT MY ASS (well, my tummy but u know what I mean!).
2.Worst VSG moment- Sneezing and lack of sleep due to the extra pain.
3. Go to snack post-op- String cheese
4. Favorite protein shake- CVS vanilla made into a banana smoothie
5. OH'er who I get the most inspiration from- Gosh, so many! You for sure. Carmalita JIMBO, and Frisco for just telling it how it is. But not for Frisco in the sense that he has teased us poor mushy stage people with pizza today!!!! Jeani for her ginourmous heart. WaffleKing and Jen for the laughs (well, dirty laughs) . So many more - I just can't name them all!!!

1. Favorite goal achieved post-op- Shaving my girly bits without having fat in the way of my view, or propping my leg up on a portion of the tub just to get to everything. Sex as a skinny chick, and of course SPROUT is on his/her way ! ! !
2.Worst VSG moment- Two moments tie for worse, My son walking into ICU to see me after I had been on life support for 4 days after the leak repair, and seeing the fear in his eyes, and him saying "that can't be my mommy", he was being taken 800 miles away to stay with my mom through my recovery, and he was scared that I was not ever going to recover, 2nd day post-revision, swallowing that contrast fluid, and it hitting my stomach, knowing I had a leak from the damn damage the band done to my stomach. Everything else, every other struggle were super trivial compared to those 2 events in my recovery.
3. Go to snack post-op- Beef or Turkey Jerky
4. Favorite protein shake- Not a single damn one, they all made me puke or poop
5. OH'er who I get the most inspiration from- I have a lot, Jimbo, Frisco, Elina, Fawn (I kind of feel like we are kindred spirits in the VSG thought process and way of life post-WLS), Pop Pop, MacMadame, and Sleeve Genie- she never gave up on her appeal, she fought for her surgery, she's rocked her sleeve, she cheered me on, I want to live close to her because I know that if I needed a hug, she'd be there for me without hesitation. She's continually giving support, and even when she was fighting the insurance monster, she never lost hope and believed in herself.
