BelgianGuy got a reaction from char3672 in It has been a year!
Sorry for the kinda late reponse, I haven't been much behind the computer. Well I would just say "don't give up" because at times it seems so difficult: weightloss isn't as fast as you hope it would be, you feel sad of eating so little, feel tired because your body is changing so fast... It's all worth it, keep walking within the guidelines that have been given to you by the doctors, do sports, and also enjoy all the benefits you will have from the weightloss. Have a nice weekend

BelgianGuy got a reaction from Trajczi in It has been a year!
It happens sometimes, but more out of habit like trying to take less "room" in my seat in the car or the train even though I know I don't fill a whole seat by myself, or when I catch my reflexion in a window and I think "Right, this is actually me now...!"
Which is kinda paradoxal because when I was fat, I actually never realized... how fat I was! It actually shocks me when I see "before pictures", I never realized I looked like this and feel embarrassed for my past self.
But except for what I've just said, I don't experience a lot of body image issues, I am reminded of how much I lost almost daily by friends or family, when pictures of me are posted on Facebook, friends I haven't seen for a while send me a PM asking how come I have lost so much weight, so I am well aware of my weightloss (for that and many other reasons such as health or fitting in a "M" shirt rather than a XXXL one).

Hello everyone!
I usually don't create a whole topic just for myself, but today is a little special since it has been exactly one year since I've had my surgery, time sure flies, especially when you go through a physical change of this ... magnitude.
In a year, I have indeed lost 53kilos (117pounds according to google). I never thought I would look like I do today and I am really glad I took the dicision of having my gastric sleeve, it has helped my health (no more sleep apneas! I can swim and bike again!), it has changed my perspective toward food (I actually prefer eating now since I don't hate myself after each meal anymore), I have changed my life habits in many ways and last but not least, I feel way happier nowadays.
Here are so before after after pics
Before:
And these after some after pictures:
So, yeah, voilà! Good luck for everyone! I know the first months are quite hard, but it was all worth it for me, and I could not be more glad about the results!
Have a great day

You do look great! I'm wondering (because this topic came up in the support group connected with my surgeon), do you experience a lot of body image issues like thinking you're bigger than you are, still feeling not as attractive as "normal" people and such? I'm only 10 weeks out so still look pretty much the same. I'm wondering what it's like a year out when you've lost as much as you have.
