Congratulations and Happy Anniversary Chris!!! You look marvelous and should be very proud. Reading your profile it is obvious that you too go through so many emotions concerning this journey. HEAD HIGH CHIN UP GIRL!!!!! It's a wonderful life you need to live now. I hope your third year out finds many wonderful moments and highs to celebrate. Christie

Thanks so much Christie

Hi Chris, Happy Anniversary! My two year is coming up on the 21st. I can't believe it. I was reading your page, and amazingly you are going through same things I am and many others of us too. I still dont recognize the person I see in the mirror. I can't get over it sometimes. Also, in your most recent postings you mention the head games that come with the surgery. It is so true. A part of me sometimes thinks my life was less complicated at 280. Its very difficult not to sound ungrateful about this surgery isn't it; the truth is that without it, most of us who have chosen the surgery would never have lost the weight otherwise. I do thank God for my surgery and my weight loss, but the surgery does come with a lot. Lets talk about the responsibilities! I am still having a terrible time of taking my multi's etc, 3x a day and my b-12 spray and shots. I am so exhausted all of the time. Especially lately, I get so tired and sleepy. Depressed. (but all of that is b/c of the vitamin deficiency.) Chris, I also wanted to tell you that you look absolutely amazing. I love that you placed your pics there of your tummy and the xcess skin, I have the exact same thing. I haven't done any plastic surgery yet because I have been trying to pass the Florida Bar Exam. I am desperate, I hate the saggy skin and the loss of boobs! Thank you for sharing your story with us, and Happy 2 year! -Yoli

Thanks so much for your kind words, Yoli. The past two years really have been a roller coaster ride, up one minute and down the next. Thank God for my shrink, lol. I have been dealing with the crap on the inside for several months now. Just because I had the WLS doesnt mean all my troubles are going. Having the surgery has opened up some new problems that I never even thought about. Anyway I am taking one day at a time that's all we can do, Right? Congratulations on your up coming two anniversary you look fantastic. Good luck on your Bar exam I hope you pass with flying colors. Chris
