Hi! (introduction)

Hey guys, I just wanted to introduce myself. There's a little bit(really tiny) of information about me in my profile but I'm working on it. Anywho, here are the basics:

*My name is Victoria but everybody calls me Vicky(feel free to do so too!)
*I'm 22 years old.
*I had a laparoscopic roux-en-y gastric bypass about two years ago.
*My surgery date was September 29th 2006.
*I had a couple of complications but nothing serious...I'm content with the outcome.

I used to frequent this site a while back when I was fresh out of surgery but I was more of a lurker and posted a couple of times. I'm back full force for(hopefully some) support since I have sort of fallen of the wagon. Like I mentioned in my profile, I haven't gained any weight but I haven't lost any weight either. I never set a "goal weight" with my surgeon, our goal was just for me to lose 70% of my excess weight, but I did set a PERSONAL goal weight of 135lbs. that I have yet to reach. I'm comfortable at my current weight of 163lbs. so these last couple of pounds are more along the line of vanity pounds than anything else but still.

I'd love to get to know some of you and I welcome any advice or (constructive) criticism. Hope to hear from you guys soon.
