It has been a year!

  • Popular Post

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 :)

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 :)

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 :)

You look fantastic! Great advice - congrats on your success!
