1 yr Surgiversary

[NewNewMe 277]

Tomorrow marks my 1 yr anniversary of my lap band to sleeve revision (4/30/15). Best thing I ever did! It has been a great year with a lot of changes. I am down 105lbs (166 since lap band). I'm still losing, just slower and I am good with that. I actually ran a 5k last weekend. A year ago I could barely walk a mile. I feel so much more confident and comfortable in my sagging skin (skin surgery coming up next year). I feel like a normal person now not driven by food and enjoying being active.

I have attached a couple before/after pics. The first one is a year ago and today. And the 2nd one is pre band and today.

@@Proud2BMe & @@NewNewMe like both of you I am approaching my 1st Re-Birthday on 5/6.

I have lost just a little over 100 lbs from HW and 89 since being sleeved.

I am not going to make my -100 from being sleeved by 5/6 but I am so THANKFUL!

We 'got this' right? Lets keep checking on each other ~

Congratulations! Just follow your surgeon's directions after. The first weeks are the hardest. Try to relax because you will love the way you feel after get you past all the stages and are eating normal. New normal . Remember the first 6-18 months are the best months to get the most from your surgery. So eat per your NUTS advice and move as much as you can. Good luck!
