I still read the VSG maint group weekly as a lurker, but don't post since I had deactivated back a while ago.. but I'm approaching my 1 year mark and thinking back to all the folks that are still here, that were a huge inspiration to me when I was in research-mode.. I miss you guys. Save for a few folks I'm connected to on other social networks, this is one place I can see the familiar faces.. plus I like knowing how things are going for everyone.

Figured I'd drop a line to say hello to those that are still here..

I am within spitting distance to my first goal, and still losing. Prob will hit it by my anniversary date.. and will just keep on keeping on in loss-mode for a bit. Got a date with the BodPod in April so I can know my body comp and fine tune things better.. I am happy, feeling great, still eating on plan 99% of the time and my restriction is still pegged at 2-2.5oz protein. I will prob check in here from time to time, on the maint board just because I would like to reconnect.

I'll take some better pix later, but this is what got me thinking today, and motivated me to come out of lurkdom once again to say hello.. old pix. Memories, eh?

Me, at the hospital pre-op:

What an amazing transformation!! You were beautiful before, but now, you are gorgeous!! I've said it many times, WLS is a gift and second chance at a healthy and active life. Kudos to you for working your sleeve.

So glad to see you back! I go AWOL occasionally, but always check back in with my besties. You are incredibly beautiful. Welcome back!

Some people might not support my WLS decision.
Those people remind me of slinkys. Not good for much but it would would bring a smile to my face if someone pushed them down the stairs.
