You look tiny! Oh my goodness you look so small. You’re disappearing right before my eyes. Look at you, SKINNY. Who are you? Your clothes look so baggy……… ……Insecurity is defined by having an uncertainty/anxiety about oneself, simply put insecurity is a lack of confidence. I never imagined that after having weight loss surgery I’d be […]
I have said it so many times in the last 3 months; “it is incredible just how much my life has changed in just 90 days!” I walk past mirrors these days and hardly recognize the person I am today, but I FEEL like the person I have always wanted to be- if that makes […]
Isn’t it so crazy how fast time flies? In just about a week, it’ll be 2 months since I have had my gastric sleeve surgery. I remember thinking about how much my life was going to change but I never imagined just how drastic the changes would be. It’s odd- when I look in the […]
So here I am (writing this) at the park- where today I decided I’d jog outside. It’s been almost 1 month since surgery and this is my last week of exercise restriction. Technically I’m not supposed to be doing anything but walking but I feel fine enough to jog, and my surgeon recommended that I […]
It has been such a week! Not all bad, but not all good. I had my first post-op appointment with my surgeon to check in on how things are going and according to him things are going GREAT! They are, I don’t want to sound like a brat. I am just wishing the recovery was […]
I must say the most difficult part thus far of this whole entire process is simply learning my new stomach. To think this is only just the beginning scares me just a tad, if I am being completely honest. It is so crazy to think that it has already been 10 days since my gastric […]
So I would be telling an absolute fib if I said the last 6 days haven’t been pretty bad. I mean I knew it wasn’t going to be rainbows and unicorns, but I also didn’t think I would be so uncomfortable. I watched tons of videos on YouTube, read a million blogs about others’ experiences […]
Wow! It only just hit me that my gastric sleeve surgery is COMPLETE. This long process I thought would never come to an end happened less than 48 hours ago. Believe me, the constant pain and discomfort is a mild reminder that 80% of my stomach was just removed from my abdomen. I was originally […]
They should change the pre-op diet name to “14 Days of Hell.” No but seriously, these 14 days will have you reconsidering your existence on Earth. It was an emotional rollercoaster for me that I thought would never come to an end. It wasn’t all torture though, at some point your body starts to become […]
Let me be really blunt and get straight to the point…the process for bariatric surgery isn’t a fun one. The importance of finding a good surgeon/practice makes all the difference in the world when it comes to how your process will be in getting to surgery day. For me, finding the right surgeon was easy […]
