Year Surgiversary...a little late

Jun 20, 2012

Well....my year surgiversary came and went, fairly uneventful....I kind of forgot...things seem so normal and routine now...
I saw my surgeon recently for a follow up and had the results from my labwork and everything was perfect.

My hair is finally growing again and looking so much better....it is thicker and my bangs are finally not so sprouty looking.
It was even healthy enough to put some blonde highlights back in, and I love it!

I am maintaining my weight pretty much now...it does vary by as much as 5 lbs sometimes, but if I go over 135, that will be my warning sign, to reign things in....that is still 5 lbs below my orginal goal, but 5 over my lowest weight since surgery.

I'm very happy here at 135 lbs and a size 4....people call me tiny all the time....sometimes I still don't see it, and don't feel thin or different....it's only when I look a pictures, and can't find the bad angle or the fat showing, that I realize I'm not fat anymore!

The loose, wrinkly skin is an issue...and I think it keeps me from feeling super great about my body...so plastics will be in my near future, if at all possible.

I eat pretty normally, I think...sure they are small portions at about 6 oz at a meal....but I don't feel weird at restaurants anymore...since I can eat about 1/2 of a filet mignon and a bite of sweet potato....and a couple bites of salad....it is more than enough and I have 2 more meals at home later. I think with my small size now, no one thinks twice when I say I'm full and can't finish it....

I'm so happy that I was able to get the VSG....I am healthy and I feel good....and comfortable in my body, without all the physical aches and pains and emotional pains of trying to hide all the fat.
