I guess it's obvious that I don't post/blog/update much but I do want to say that I've passed my 1 year surgiversary and I have lost 125 pounds.  I'm wearing a size 8-10 and can eat most anything (that doesn't have much sugar).  I struggle with grazing and with carbs such as goldfish, wheat thins and triscuits.  I've not had any complications and feel pretty darn good.  I could always have more energy but then again, I just had a full hysterectomy a couple of months ago so I'm not yet 100 %.  I am usually a lurker on the boards but take so much comfort from them.  My biggest fear is gaining the weight back.  I weigh everyday and if I go up more than 3 pounds, I make adjustments til it goes back down.  I still need to lose at least 12 more pounds (My goal is to weigh 150 or less) but I'm not in a big hurry.  If it doesn't happen, I will live because I am happy with myself now.  Do wish for plastics some day in the future but will have to see about the finances.  I think I'll be on my own in that the insurance won't cover any of it.  I'm very grateful to my surgeon, Dr. Jawad, and his staff (Kevin in particular).  They have exceeded my expectations!
