I realized a few minutes ago that today marks 1 year for me that I took the journey and had the Gastric Sleeve Surgery.

It was the best thing I've ever done in my life.

1 year later, I have lost over 100 lbs, have muscle, I am more active and healthy than I have ever been.

Memories and flash backs come back as I write this, of the day I came out of surgery and had that gassy feeling like I was going to vomit, or having to put up with the awful diet after the surgery and then I remember how I cheated, had worries about everything and how it all turned out okay.

Thanks to everyone on here for your advise as its been much needed and so many questions have been answered on this forum. I thought I was crazy going to Mexico to get this surgery but everything was fine.

I'd do it again in heartbeat and as I've said before the only regret I have is that I didnt do it sooner.

I look back and realize how much of a lifestyle change I have had since the surgery. I've also become addicted to SOBE drinks thanks to this forum and the suggestions of members. I had trouble getting enough liquids in and someone suggested SOBE and also G2.

Protein was another concern I had, however I found that the Bolthouse shakes have been the best for me. I also drink a pre-workout formula before working out. I now workout with a personal trainer once a day, 5 days a week.

I'm still working towards that six pack. Hopefully I have it by this time next year or sooner.

Happy Surgiversary! Glad you are feeling so great, and congrats on that 100+ lb loss!

Happy Surgiversary! I remember reading your posts a year ago when I was preparing for surgery. I'm only a few weeks behind. Keep it up! I can't wait to see your progress next year!

Great job! Congrats. This month is my surgiversary too.

At the rate you're going, I have no doubt you'll have that six pack!

Thanks to all. I show people my pictures from Cancun a year ago and then show them my pictures today and they don't even believe it is me.

Pics! We want pics!

Congrats to you!

Congrats to you!

Congratulations and Happy Anniversary!

Huge congrats, can't wait to be where you are!!

Congratulations! Isn't it crazy that the things that we had to think about we don't anymore? That you are so comfortable being the "new you" that you forgot about your 1 year surgiversary? So exciting! Congrats on your progress so far and good luck in your continued success!
