🌅 Enough said! Not to say I don't notice those making great strides, but it sure as hell won't get me down. We are each on our own journey, sure our paths may cross and even walk side by side for a while, but in the end we each have our own unique road (aka Grass)... Mine may be gnarly, brown & shaggy at times... But it is MINE! #vsg #vsginstacrew #prevsg #preop #vsglife #vsgfamily #wls #sleevemebaby #weightlosssurgery #weightlossjourney #myweightlossjourney #bariatricsurgery #bariatric #rny #lapband #losersbench

The doc did a #biopsy during my #endoscopy because he was worried about H. Pylori... Just found out it came back negative! Very relieved I font have to worry about being rid of it before surgery can be scheduled. Speaking of which.... See my next post! #hpylori #prevsg #vsg #vsginstacrew #preop #wls

Nothing like a county fair to test your faith in humanity by putting your childrens' lives in the clutches of machines that could easily fling them hundreds of feet... Oh wait... I think I went on just as many rides as them. 😜

Sarcastic responses: a necessity in both parenting & marriage We have a hornet nest under one of our decks and we can't use said deck without someone getting stung, so I remedied the problem. This is the version of the story that my husband got. {FYI, Thane is our 8 yr old son.} #sarcasmasasecondlanguage #becauseifindmyselfamusing #ineedtogetoutmore

I have a hurty neck/back/shoulder region but that @olivejuice918 chick demanded I Stop drop & Selfie... Oh, I suppose. My guard kitty, Mouse will be forced to participate as well. Why oh why can't this rice pack sear the pain away?⚡ 😖💥

Yes, my husband is awesome... Yes, he is here with me for my endoscopy... But seriously, couldn't he wait to get coffee until I'm under? #jackass #slightlybitterandohsothirsty #endoscopy I really don't think he's a jackass. ❤ this is a form of cruel & unusual punishment, though. 😜

"patiently" waiting to be called back for my endoscopy... No coffee/tea/water makes me a not so delightful person. 😭☕🍵💦 Get this darn camera in me and over with already. 👅📷 say "ahhh" I'm so thirsty... I'm not sure how I'll handle the day of surgery. 😕 oh wait... Drugs!

Spent the day with one of my girlies who lives in FL and came up to visit the Great White North (aka Northern Michigan). This photo will not be seen ANYWHERE else... Look at my back rolls... 😖 seriously, when did THAT happen. So so so very ready for this change! I can't wait until the next time I see her... ❤ 💥kapow💥

My bestie decided to adorn my legs with pebbles while at the beach today... She is clearly sadistic and wanted to create polka dots on my poor Irish skin.
