Well, as usual life flies by, and I am late posting. I am over 2 years post op! I can hardly believe it. I feel good, healthy, and strong. My hair is back, yay! It is full and long, and texture is soft and wavy now, and I can even make a ponytail.

I am maintaining now at 140 lbs, exactly at original goal, bummer that I can't seem to stay in 130's, but I did look a bit sunken at that anyway. Lately, it is worrisome that my capacity is larger and I don't want to gain anymore, my 6's are tight!

I've still been weight training 2x weekly, but no cardio, and too many snacks. I've been very busy working and living life and feeling pretty "normal". People may look at me and see an average normal weight woman. But in the back of my mind, those fears and self negative talk still lurk, telling me I am getting fat, feel fat, look gross, and that makes me want to eat junk! It's a horrible cycle.

Nobody pays attention to my eating anymore, cause I appear to eat what a normal, thin person eats, but my appetite and food obsession has been popping up again, and it is discouraging. I find myself less satisfied and happy with my small portions like in the beginning. And I am hungrier sooner between meals. I really do believe its a grehlin hormone issue.

However, despite these minor issues, I am thrilled with my VSG, and my labs are still good, and am so much better off than before.

The leftover skin has taunted me and disgusted me this past year, and really makes it hard to see a thin, toned person in the mirror (so if I was to do it over, I would save every penny, while losing weight, so I had it ready when time came) but I finally finagled it and will fix it in 9 days! (Or at least some of it)
