What would you do differently if you could rewind life?
Also, our star performers of 2019
What’s in store for the new year for you?
Australians were asked if they had their life over again, what would they do differently?
The top 3 regrets according to more than 3 in 4 Australians is they would have:
1. Achieved more with their life (77%)
2. Spent more time with family (76%)
3. Worried less about what people thought of them (76%)
The next biggest regret for 7 in 10 Aussies (71%) is they wished they’d stayed in touch with friends from childhood and youth. Around 3 in 5 would have worked harder in their career (59%) and a similar proportion would have taken more risks (62%). At the same time, well over half of Aussies (56%) would not have worked so much at the expense of family and friendships.
The common thread is that Australians wished they had spent their time more wisely, including prioritising their relationships with loved ones, spending less time worrying about what people thought of them and more time (and risks) on achieving their goals in life and career.
Some of the many star performers of 2019
2019 saw many amazing transformations..Hold your breath here.
I randomly picked the following as I sense you guys are on fire with a sensational shift in your personalities. There were many more, however we did not have updated stories and photos for each one of you. We would urge everyone if you can post your Before and After photos in the Private Facebook Support Group, or send it privately via email to admin@MelbourneGastroSurgery.com.au
All this only goes to prove that ultimately, your personality changes your personal reality.
Each one of you embraced change with trust, with faith and with courage…Good on you!!
Bec had her surgery in October 2018 to uplift her quality of life and be able to pursue a more active lifestyle.
12 months later this gorgeous lady is a new personality – full of energy and determined to be an inspiration to many.
Jono had his surgery in September 2019, however his energy around embracing change has been exceptional.
He already looks years younger … and this is only just the beginning … Go Jono
Gabby, you really crushed it baby! 2019 was your year … and this is just the beginning for you.
I am so excited to see your transformation and the exceptional commitment you have demonstrated keeping up with periods of pain and discomfort, but in the end it was all worth it!! Wouldn’t you agree!
Young J, life at over 200 kgs in October 2018 was “fun” but risky. We appreciate your hesitation in sharing your journey, but you probably don’t realise how much courage you have demonstrated in sticking to this path, enduring the pain and the routine of creating a change that has brought so much joy to you and your beautiful family. You have given your beautiful parents the health they were wanting to see in their lovely child. Great work and keep shining!

We have great work to do and inspire many more, to live life to the fullest!!! Together we can do it!

Wishing everyone an amazing year ahead!
