2-Yr Surgiversary

Wow, I can't believe it's been 2 years since my VSG.  My life is so different today and seems to get better and better every day and in every way.  The biggest change for me the last year has been sobriety.  My weight goes up and down depending on what I eat.....Duh!!  I haven't weighed in awhile but can tell I gained some by the way some of my clothes fit.  I actually told someone I like the extra weight cuz my body isn't so flabby and I do.  I'm getting used to my body still.  My head still likes to play "fat games" with me.  Gotta watch that "head", cuz it'll mess me up.  I try and stay positive.  I'm working my spiritual connection with a power greater than me.  I don't go on this board like I used to and I think of many of you often.  I occasionally hit a support group and am thinking about going back to OA to check things out.  Not sure how they feel about WLS,  see that's my head again.  I thank God for VSG and my new life.  It's not easy and you don't realize that until after surgery.  My surgery was on 8/3/2009, by Dr. Kim at Kaiser West LA.  I'm grateful, so so grateful.  My top weight was 305.  Today......I'm not sure what I weigh.  Check out my blog/profile page for a picture of my fiancé and I taken this year. 
Love you guys

very inspiring..congrats!! 

Wow...thanks for sharing your story and congrats on your success. I hope to follow in your foot steps! I am pretty new and have a lot to learn!

Many congratulations!  I plan to keep weighing myself and daily after I get to my goal.  My key to re-gaining in the past has been to stop weighing myself.  I've been sober 21 years and am so grateful to have sobriety with food now.

congrats~! :)
