"People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking for peace. They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions, even other people, hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them. The irony is the only place they ever needed to search was within." - Ramona L. Anderson
Thank you! You are beautiful! Have things gotten easier, harder, or stayed the same the further you get from surgery? I feel normal now, but always have the little nagging fears at the base of my skull asking when the switch is going to flip and it is all going to get so much harder. You are one of the few people as far out as you are.. I am so glad you are around! Aren't we both so lucky that we got to change our lives!

Yes, I feel so blessed to have had the sleeve. Things are a lot easier now. Don't worry about the flip swithching. Your stomach (pouch) is just not big enough. Lol! It's going to keep you in check. I still have days where I can only eat a few bites. What is really better now is the drinking and eating together. That was always a struggle for me.
Congrats on your 4 year anniversary and welcome to the group. we really need people like you who are a few years out. Please share any secrets and thoughts you have about maintaining over 4 years and why this surgery has been so good for you. looking forward to your posts. diane
