2 Years!!

Feb 18, 2010

It's my 2 Year Surgiversary!!! I stay right at about 150-155...I  CAN gain weight. I CAN eat. This is a scary time. I read that the body grows new villi in the intestine so that  calories can be absorbed while vitamins still cannot. So it said at 2 years I am basically absorbing ALL of my calories. This is very scary for me as I do not want to gain any weight. I will be back to my dieting lifestyle...but at this point it's to maintain. I wear anywhere from a 6 to a 10 depending on the clothes.

I had my arms done...there are scars, but way better than the bat wings. I had my tummy done...I have the "Ken doll" bulge in the front. My PS says he san to a pubic reduction which of course costs money. I think NOT.
I do notice my skin tone has gotten flabbier in this past year...so I am worried my new belly button is going to sag back into the little winky it used to be. My thighs are disgusting...and  my poor boobs...wow...they really took the brunt of the weight loss. I have extra skin on my hips and butt too but the thighs are like wrinkly pantyhose. So not attractive!

I am still losing some hair and what came back is way thinner than it was pre op. I am not sorry in the least though. I would go thru surgery every single year to stay at the weight I am at.
I need to get re dedicated  and stop snacking so much. I find that I get munchie...and then I eat nuts, crackers or  chips. I can't eat very much of a meal, but I can eat a lot of snacks. Now that my body is absorbing I need to be more careful.

I am still so happy and thankful to have had this surgery...I welcome questions from pre ops anytime.
