1 Year Surgerversary

Rate this Entry
Hello all

Yesterday I celebrated one year since I changed my life for good. Yep, a year ago I had my gastric sleeve surgery. :-)

I have had a great year. The surgery went without a hitch, I have followed my surgeon and nutritionists instructions to a tee and have kept to the plan. As such I am now almost 60kg lighter then I was before surgery. I have gone from a size 22 (NZ) to a size 10-12. I am more active, fitter, and happier than I can ever remember being.

My first goal weight was 70kg, I have since changed it to 65kg and am looking to get to 64kg in the next few weeks. I have yet to have my 1 year follow up appointment with my surgeon and I will take her advice where I go from here. I have to say that I am pretty comfortable at this weight.

I have just come back from 2 weeks vacation in Samoa. A beautiful country with beautiful people. We had sunny warm weather and the best part was that I could wear not very much and not feel embarrassed about how I looked. Even better was the fact that when I stepped on the scales on my return I had lost 1.5kg - and that is with having the odd "not so good choice" of food and not walking like I do at home.

I am slowly catching up on what has been happening on this forum and will be active again one I have managed to clear my work emails :-(

I would like to thank everyone who posts here and who offers support and advice. You are all stars and I very much think that you all are part of my success.

Whether you are just starting out on your journey or are an experienced sleever I wish you well and look forward to continued success for us all.

A couple of photos attached - hopefully.......

Cheers
Lisa
