[@hastacieloymas1798]

Girl... binge watching tonight... holidays, kids, illness have kept me out of the loop the past month! You know I couldn't be more proud of YOU! What INCREDIBLE NSV's... Thank you for including us on your journey to WELLNESS! ❤❤❤ LOVE you, sweetheart!

[@GraceGetsGastric]

Awww, thank you so very much, lovely!

[@jensleeve3589]

I love the way you edited this!!! Such a great way to document your transformation!

[@GraceGetsGastric]

Thank you so much!

[@mysteryguest1948]

I know i am incredibly behind, but I am so happy for you!! You have done amazingly well over this past year and I am always in awe of how much can change in a year. Your body had changed so much! To see your beginning vids was so crazy! How much your face has slimmed over this past year is amazing! Rock on, Grace, you're spectacular!

[@GraceGetsGastric]

Aww, so lovely to see you pop up on here! Thank you so very much, my friend!

[@danielle010481]

Congratulations on being one year post op! 🎉 It’s been so great following your journey. Loved the recap in the beginning. 💗

[@GraceGetsGastric]

Thank you so much, hon!! I'm glad you liked the recap at the beginning!

[@meganpopp555]

So happy for you! You are doing so great and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you ❤️ You sharing your journey has helped me and I’m sure so many other people!

[@GraceGetsGastric]

Thank you!!

[@onmyweighdownvsg9129]

First off, I said “Who has hijacked Grace’s channel??!” I met you at month 6 so I did not recognize you Pre-op, even your voice sounded different! Loved your creative recap! Yes, YAY for being in the elite club of success stories! That’s a good point that our medical professionals are just trying to find something to make our visit worthwhile. I have felt like they are talking down to me, but you’re right, we are not the typical patients they counsel. You rock! Your pictures (and your thigh gap!) are awesome! I’m so proud of you, your progress, and your dedication!

[@GraceGetsGastric]

Thank you so much! It's fascinating hearing the voice change for sure! And yes, I had to remind myself not to get annoyed at my surgeon just because he was trying to find *something* for me to work on. LOL, we're just too successful and knowledgeable ;)

[@onmyweighdownvsg9129]

Grace Gets Gastric And, that’s a good place to be! #toosuccessful 👏🏻💪🏻👊🏻

[@lisalindner3846]

[@GraceGetsGastric]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the look-back!

[@LittleKansasKitty]

What an awesome way to start off this video. You are so creative and it was great to see your raw thoughts each month over the last year. What a change in you physically and I know you have grown so much mentally as well. CONGRATULATIONS on 1 YEAR! You look absolutely fabulous and I'm so proud of you and all your firsts and NSV's. Awesome video. Awesome progress. This will be your best year yet! xoxo

[@GraceGetsGastric]

Thank you so much! You've got this!

[@beach_flower9663]

Do you or are you starting a channel? The reason I ask is because I have my rny coming up on Feb 5th, so it would be great going thru this w someone else that's so close to that date.

[@yay4shanghai]

@@beach_flower9663 I don't have a channel and I'm not really ready to commit to the time but I think I might post my diet on Instagram when I start eating food again. My insta: jessedontcare

[@Mindy14]

Congratulations! You are an inspiration to me. I am almost 7 weeks post op and down 21 lbs since surgery.

[@beach_flower9663]

I'm crying, I'm just so happy for you!! You truly are inspiring me and getting me pumped for my surgery!! I was hesitant of the surgery because of fear, but I realize fear isn't going to change anything. Seeing your change thru the year is absolutely amazing! I can only hope to be as successful as you!! Congrats!!

I’m celebrating with you. You’re fantastic. Remember that you’re five foot eight and not a tiny woman in stature. The goals can surround the beauty and health of your shape rather than numbers. Thank you for sharing.

[@GraceGetsGastric]

Yes, absolutely! Thank so much for all the support!

[@03BlackStar03]

[@songjames4609]

Kudos and bravo to you. You set some goals and accomplish and Achieve them. And I do love the way that you started your video you did we miss one month but it's cool. Truly inspired and you look so Amazing Grace😅

[@GraceGetsGastric]

Thanks so much! And I'm glad you liked the intro! I wished I could have included all of the months, but they wouldn't have fit well on the screen, so I had to skip a couple of the later ones. :)

[@katieohara3222]

This video is so motivating and fun! It's wonderful to see the recap. I'm not sure at which month I started following you; so it was so fun to see the journey from month to month. I hope you have a great, successful 2019 with many things to look forward to, including good health and happiness. Thanks for sharing your journey. I had my surgery in October 2016. I still enjoy watching you, even though I've been through it. You give great tips on food choices and exercises as well as life experiences. I'm sure you've helped a lot of us in the community. Thanks again, much love from Massachusetts 💟 🌞☺️.

[@GraceGetsGastric]

[@moutusisantra4599]

I was waiting for your one year video :) Loved the intro to this video. Congratulations on your success :)

[@GraceGetsGastric]

Thanks so much, my dear!

[@amandaathanas4027]

Loved the little vid clips in a row! CONGRATULATIONS on reaching Onederland at One Year!! I can even see the last 2-3 lbs, probably bc I watch a lot of ur videos. Thigh gap! It’s sad that bariatric practices just don’t have the benefit of the knowledge base that comes from the WLS community and our stories and anecdotal “evidence,” but I bet they WISH they could tap into it somehow. But even if they could, they don’t have the time to educate us on all the points we learn thru our own research. Our team has an online portal, but hardly anyone uses it and it’s not even user friendly. Everyone goes to social media. They always seem so shocked when a patient tells them something they learned on social media - as IF they are the only source of good info. They are usually kind of arrogant about the belief they hold all the answers - but it seems they have been taken down a notch or two by the independence some patients have gained by picking up valuable info elsewhere.

[@GraceGetsGastric]

Thank you so much, lovely!! Yes, I'm so grateful for getting into social media. It's a super useful tool/resource, though also good to take everything you hear with a grain of salt, LOL. But I do think doing so much of my own investigating has really made a WORLD of difference.

[@lindatakesitback8945]

Congratulations! I love how you did videos from each month. You could really see the change. You have worked so hard and it shows. Machu Picchu here you come!

[@GraceGetsGastric]

Thanks, hon! I'm glad you liked my recap of the year :D

[@VSGJOE]

[@GraceGetsGastric]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked the recap part as it took ages to edit. :D

[@bypasstoaleanerlynn8920]

You have down so well. Awesome.

[@GraceGetsGastric]
