[mocmylov 6]

Hey what's goin on guys? It's been forever since I've been on these forums, but last week marked the 1 year anniversary of my operation. I'm HAPPY to say I'm down 130lbs, and I feel completely normal. Everyone's saying how healthy I look hahaha. It's pretty awesome being able to go up stairs without wheezing after one flight. Anyway, update pic! I think I overdid it on the cardio. Need to tone up now lol!

Good for you - how is eating? How long did this take? When you say that you feel normal, does that mean that eating is great and you feel full with a small amount of food? I eat and get an uncomfortable full feeling, but still feel hungry. I feel nauseous every time I eat - I dread meals, yet I am dying to eat a good meal. Very unsatisfied....

Great job on your loss and on your one year anniversary. And I've got a question for you....what's the small lump right at the base of your sternum cause after I lost my weight I realized I have that same thing. Never could see it before but now it bugs they hell out of me.

Thank you! That little bump is called the xiphoid process, it's cartilage at the end of your sternum. It's normal haha.

Thanks, eating is going well, it's been just over a year for me and yea, eating for the most part is great, and generally feel full after a small meal. There are times when Proteins go down harder than carbs, but I don't usually feel hungry after. When did you have your procedure? It does take some time getting used to.
