Maintenance pics - almost 3 yrs post-op
Maintenance is not a cake-walk, don't delude yourself into thinking so. Weight loss is not a quick-fix for all of life's problems, don't delude yourself into thinking so. Maintenance takes daily work and effort (to some extent and some days are better than others) but boy is it worth it. I'm living again, I'm healthy, I'm active. My VSG is one of the best decisions I have ever made. Hope this helps someone!

Good job Emily!!! So happy that you are doing well. Keep working the heck out of it and you will keep the results. Like brushing your teeth or bathing - we can get away with a night or two but honey the build up shows 
lol.
You are amazing hun, a true inspiration at 3 years post-op when the reality of it all has settled in.
Best,
Layla
