Congrats on your amazing success! Your pictures of Paris are beautiful and you make it even more gorgeous by being there!
Thank you for your wonderful post, I hope lots of people read this and realize that hard work and dedication pays off. I love your first point of "maximize" your honeymoon period, this is so true because as you know maintenance is so hard!
Wishing you continued success!! Keep up the awesome work!

Nikke, what a sweet, generous post. Congratulations to you.
At nearly 3 years post-op, I endorse every single one of your "tips" to other WLS patients. Those have been the tools I've also found most helpful. I don't know why the significance of those behaviors / tools and the need to use them consistently aren't more obvious to all WLS patients.
Thanks also for your Paris pix -- love that city.

As someone that's just passed the 1-year mark, and finds herself a bit scared about what the future holds, this is a great reminder that if I keep doing what I'm doing, I can most definitely be successful! I just have to remember to just keep being vigilant and dedicated!
