Yup. Two years as of today. I'm maintaining goal weight ( a wee bit below- but still quite healthy) and overall healthy. I'm getting labs done again because I've noticed some loss of energy on my part. Probably deficient in something or another despite that I take a full hand full of vitamins every morning. Still getting the dizzy spells- but those are less since I upped the Vits and protein. Overall? I'm still ecstatic with my tool. When I went to visit my grandma and other extended family this weekend I got a "Oh Sh!#!" and hand over the mouth happy gasp from both both my Aunts. I'm generally a MEDIUM! A freaking medium. This from a gal who's seen an L - generally preceded by an X or two or three- on her clothing for over 15 years! Stuff still looks too small on the hanger. I'm anywhere from a 10 to a 14 size wise depending on who makes it and how it's made. I even got a 7 on once, and nearly bought it based solely on that- but didn't. Sure I'm having some weird issues, mostly the low blood pressure/ dizziness thing and dealing with the excess skin. I wouldn't change it for the world. Man I'm happy- I look like I always pictured I SHOULD look. I Feel amazing - especially when I'm practicing my belly dancing and my hubby is drooling and panting watching me gyrate.. hee!
So! Happy two years to me! I owe the people on these boards a BIG thank you! I've relied on your support for the whole journey from pre op to now. I Love coming here to read on what's going on, and listen to the support and strength given. Generally I lurk or drop small comments- but MAN I'd be lost without OH and this board in particular! Thank all of you for being here!

Amber,

You look so gorgeous!  Love the avatar...and the glasses too...I have a thing for glasses!  I'm so weird...LOL  I just bought my hubby some hot little reading glasses...He looks so sexy in them...But mostly because I am tired of reading the small print and restaurant menus for him!  LOL I keep a pair in my handbag just for him because he forgets them. 

So anyway!  OMIGOSH!  I've been watching your shrink for a while now and you look so amazing...You s'mexy little thing, you! I'm so happy for you. It's good you get labs when you don't feel right...It might be nothing but an extra dose of vits...It's good to stay on top of any fluxes in food or health...so GOOD for you! 

I've been looking for a good Tai Chi DVD and Hubby keeps pointing to the belly dancing ones!  LOL  I am about the most clumsy, uncoordinated person on two feet that you ever saw...So is it hard?  Or does it take a lot to get the "moves"?  I can just see me now...stumbling all over myself.... jello jiggling all over the place.... knocking myself over with my own thighs!  ...Can you say Funniest Home Videos? Oh well...I might just try it to humor myself...LOL Lemme know how hard it is!

Anita,
You flirt, you've got me all a flush. I dig the specs but they're a pain to keep clean I'm seriously considering keeping them but occasionally using contacts just so's I'm not wiping 'em off every few hours.
I dispise goin' to the doctor, but I've got the appointments set. Don't feel like dealing with any more icky issues!
Belly dancing is SOoooooooo fun. Trust me I AM NOT quordinated. I've got a left foot an a so wrong it ain't even lefter foot. The moves are pretty easy. I'm using a vidieo called Belly dancing basics and beyond. The instructor breaks everything down. I havn't tried combining moves into a full dance, but the small combinations are easy and fun as all heck. I've got tight muscles under my bellly roll now and my thighs are finally firming up.  I fear the belly shirts- so just wear tank tops and my sweat pants- and I do jiggle, but it's fun. And man.. the hip shakes make my man go ga-ga it's totally worth it for just shimmying out of his reach now and again to watch him get all glazed over.. heehee! I too have been tepted by the tai-chi- I learned it for real with an instructor a lifetime ago, and I think I'm spoiled for vidieos since. But I've forgotten too much of it to do it anymore.

P.s. you soo need to post more pics.. not that I mind droooling over the existing stuff... but c'mon...

Hee hee!   Didn't mean to make ya blush...well..okay so I did...I just love ya!  I'll always be a big flirt!  It's my alter ego naughty ego...It keeps people wondering!  LOL  A little mystery about oneself is good! 

You got me all ready to go get that video...I've seen the one you are talking about too...I pick it up EVERYTIME but always set it back down...I LOVE teasing my DH...He is a changed mansince I lost weight...He is always drooling...My kids cover their eyes when we are being playful and they are grown adults!  It's so great for the relationship to have that little spice...Better late than never...

I've got a "Best Buy" Gift certificate...hehe...I might just go get that video! I'll let you know when I do!  I'll probably chicken out...but...You've got me more than curious totry it now!  Ut oh!  DH just pulled up the drive!  HAHAHA...Yipes...
