viewDidLoad method is called only once per lifecycle of UIViewController, so most probably you are creating somehow new VC1. You need keep reference to first VC1 and go back to that view controller.

To navigate using UINavigationController use those methods:

[self.navigationController pushViewController:VC2];

[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];

(call them inside VC1 / VC2)
