I can officially say am a success story now! A year ago I would visit this forum 1000000x a day looking at the successful stories and felt inspired by all of you!!!! I hope my success story inspires new people who are considering to do this surgery!!!

A year ago I was 19, obese, depressed and used food to be my comfort and way to relieve myself! I tried loads of diets, slimming pills, even a personal trainer!!!!!!! But never lost more than 5kgs and never kept it off! My parents always blamed themselves for my weight and tried their best to motivate me to lose weight, I went to a nutritionist and she suggested the gastric balloon but i wanted a permanent solution so I decided on the gastric band with my parents! I was nervous and unsure about me succeeding so I asked advise and guidance from many of u here who have helped and I am very grateful! Previous success stories here not only pushed me to believe I can do it but it guided me to know how you all did it!!! I am here for all of you!!!

Height: 5ft 4

Before my surgery:

116kg

July 2nd- Day of surgery: 102kg

Today: 54kg

I was a size 18-20

Now I am a happy size 8! I eat healthily, Protein and veggies mostly, exercise 5X a week for half an hour to an hour! My whole lifestyle is completely different now!

Last time I had mc Donalds was a year ago!!! I dont even crave it or miss it! I Am very happy, confident and comfortable with my body now! My self esteem has completely changed and I feel like I can do anything I want now! I am here if any of you need advise, support or help! It's not an easy journey and I felt like giving up tonnes of times but just kept believing on myself and pushing myself to finish this journey! It's all worth it I promise you! We can all do this and achieve our target goals just don't give up!! Some months i didnt even lose half a pound but i didnt give up i pushed harder to fight through it! Dont let food control you!! The band does the work just trust it and work with it!

Succeeding and looking back at your journey is worth it! You can do it!! stick to eating healthy and changing old habits!

This forum has helped me and motivated me to keep going! Thanks alot and am here for any support!

Thanks so much all of you

Love you all

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
