Life update: down 140 pounds since December 8th 2022. Things I’ve learned: - There’s failures every day, it’s normal. Learning from them quick and picking yourself up is the key to consistency - Planning ensure consistency and removes hurdles. Setting a schedule on when you workout, when you meal prep, etc….that’s what keeps you on track. - The here’s always excuses to not do what you’re supposed to do. Your ability to ignore them will teach you more about your capabilities and your willpower, than the motivation you’ll get from the number going down. - There’s no miracle cure. There’s just commitment and hard work. I had gastric sleeve surgery, which is the closest to a ??miracle cure??. It gets you started, but it won’t do the work for you. - Celebrate how far you’ve come. Don’t just focus on what’s left to do. It’s never gonna end, but the journey is so worth it. And last but not least: A small step forward beats the best planned step you never took. Don’t get bogged down with making things perfect. Just do it! Imperfectly moving forward beats perfectly standing still all day, every day.

Patients can track their ROM, progress and maintain engagement through the MAXM App (available on both iOS and Android) as they complete exercises, education and PROMs ? Surgeons and healthcare teams can remotely monitor patient outcomes, making check-ins quick and easy ? The solution is evidence-based and shown to improve ROM, mental health outcomes and the ability to self-manage moving forward But what really drives our passion for ensuring the best post-operative care possible? ??

Basically, Myopia causes an individual to have difficulty seeing objects that are far away because the eye is longer than normal from the front to back. This causes the light entering the eye to focus in front of the retina instead of on it and the brain is unable to process a clear image ??
