Default 1 year post-op visit

OMG! A year is about finally past!!!

I'm thinner and healthier than I was in high school, even though I weigh more now. My body fat percent is 18. That's bodybuilder numbers! I made Dr. Potts shake his head when I told him that I indulge in 1/2 of a candy bar on occasion, how I drank a gorilla fart, and rode the bull. Kind of left him speechless

I went to visit a place I use to work at last year. I walked in and no one reconized me. I was stopped and told to sign in. I'm like, hello, it's me I use to work here. Then they stared and suddenly their eyes got wide and mouths dropped to the floor. Then of course everyone's hugging and spinning me around.

It must have been the hair cut......

Congrats on your success in a year. It is quite an accomplishment.
But...I feel compelled to ask.. What, pray tell, is a gorilla fart?
All the best, Pam

That's a drink I recently had. It's 1/2 oz Wild turkey and 1/2 oz Bacardi 151. Whew weee, it produces quite the rumblings in the gut, resulting in an aromatic scent

I pretty sure it wasn't the hair cut! Skinny girl! Congratulations! Wild Turkey and 151, that sounds pretty killer. I think I'll stick with my occasional glass of wine. I'm pretty much a booze wuss these days. I use to drink a pint of southern comfort every afternoon at work, just to hold me over until I got home. Ah, the fuzzy ol' days!
