2 years out!
Hello Everyone,
I haven't really posted in ages...between work & life in general I get side tracked...although I do make it a point to "lurk" 
Went for my 2nd anniversary check up yesterday. Dr. Barba was extremely pleased with everything.
I'm a little ticked off with myself I gained 5 pounds since last July. I know it's "only 5 pounds" but still I worked so friggin hard to get to this point with my health & life I don't want to see the scale creep.
He said it was pretty normal...& I also started weight lifting/training so it;s more than likely muscle mass I'm building up. (still didn't make me feel better.) 
At 2 years out & 130 pounds lighter I wouldn't change a thing though..I'd do it all over again if I had to. My health is awesome! This surgery has changed me in so many ways. (all positive) I'm active, healthy, & have energy to spare...can't get any better than that...although I do LOVE to shop for clothes now. tee hee.
I did make an appt with the nutritienist just to make sure I'm on target with calories/carbs/fat etc. I still don't "get it" with the numbers game. I don't think I'm getting much in for calories anywhere from 800-1000 on a good day or a little higher on others. I do get all my fluids in.
I'm pretty much eating vegetarian. I do eat chicken & a little beef once in a blue moon. Got hooked on veggie burgers. YUMMY.
I find I still cannot tolerate certain foods..pork, refined/processed foods, no sugar, rice, pasta, fish, but it's good as carbs/sugar/refined flour those were my addictions prior to surgery so it's good to know my pouch keeps me on the straight & narrow.
I find I do get hungry more quickly now...& I'm catching myself "grazing". Even though it's all good stuff...fruit, whole grain crackers, nuts etc...I think that is where my problem is. So hopefully the nutritienist can help.
I also find that I'm "crashing" at times like a drop in my sugar or something. Although I did have it tested last time it happened & my sugar was 91 which was good. Hypoglycemic?? It's pretty scary..shakey, sweaty, and boy do I get cranky when it happens.
My tummy tuck/lowerbody lift looks amazing. Everything is starting to smooth out. I'm still a little numb in my lower mid-section. The liposcuction in my "back bumper" has also settled in & my back end looks amazing! Smooth with no lumpy bumpy's.
My health is good & I feel so amazingly blessed to have been given a 2nd lease on life.
Take Care,
Mickey
