Happy holidays

Hi everyone,

Just dropping in to say hi! I had a VSG through the Weight Wise clinic nearly two years ago - and am here to say hi, report in, encourage everyone at a tough time of year...  I am also focusing on getting through these holidays with no gain, staying healthy as I can. Determined!

Two years out I am still so happy with my life changing decision. I took some photos recently in my old clothes and just cried. Sometimes you mentally forget what life was before til you walk in those "shoes" again.

I went from a size 22 pant, 3x top to now about size 12, ladies M/L. All health problems like high blood pressure are gone.

Traveling on international flights, work meetings, yard work, and dance parties are all easier and more fun now, instead of stress-inducing. It is easier now to be active and I like it much more than before when it was all a big struggle.

I would credit the modules and all the group work focusing on managing food behaviours with keeping my loss maintained - you can eat "around" your tool if you don't use it properly for sure! This was important in my process. I started with the WW program in Edmonton in 2008.

I'll write later about my experience with post op plastics but I am so far very happy with that too!

Sincere good luck to everyone new and to all the old pals I had on this AB forum who supported me when I needed it most.

Great to see a post from you, it's been forever. Us old timer are still trucking away at it and it's so great to see we are still all so successful.  I still can't believe the impact the surgery and the last 2 years have had on my life.

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Kee.

Wishing you a happy and peaceful holiday season as well :-) 

Thanks so much! Kee, so great to hear from you and congrats on all you've achieved ;)
