1yr follow up appt

just finished my 1yr follow up @ TWH. My actual surgery was February 26/15. Well I have had it confirmed this was a good decision. As of today I have lost 232 pounds and 51 cm's from my waist. Not sure what I expected... But this is pretty darn good. I can hardly wait to see what the next year will bring.

Congratulations!!!! Great job! 

I'm having my surgery this Wednesday and I hope to lose a lot of weight like you!  

You're a wonderful role model! 

For what it is worth my focus was small steps then building. I started by walking about 3000 steps a day, really not even that for the first few weeks. A year later I do 12000. I walk first thing in the morning, helps me start the day on the right foot. 

Don't pressure yourself. It will come. When you have doubts ( we all do), remember it will come. Good luck with your surgery and I look forward to reading about your success.

Thank you so much! I'm currently on optifast and  on day 12. It's so hard!  I've had a few "tastes" of food - like dipping my finger in the food to get the taste or having a miniscule bite of something - temptation too high. I hope I haven't hurt myself and feeling real bad now. 

I keep thinking of afterwards and that is helping. I keep reading wonderful stories on here and that is inspiring! 

WOW!!! You are amazing! I'm in the beginning of my journey, but inspirational stories like yours make me excited for when my day finally comes. Congratulations on your accomplishments! 

WOW!!!  What a year huh??

Congratulations!!  You have so much to be proud of and to celebrate.
