  • The Ways We Change! Post Weight Loss Surgery

    If I had known myself six years ago, I would have witnessed a completely different version of me. I had reached a point where hope was scarce, and I had given up on myself and my future. Frustration and bitterness consumed me, as I endured daily pain, yearning desperately for a change. I watched my…

  • Body Positivity and Weight Loss Surgery – just my thoughts

    I think I always had a bit of angst with my body. Things that happened to me when I was a child caused me to believe that my body wasn’t really mine and that I had little control over it. From that broken place a really poor view of myself and my body grew. It…

    Today I am feeling better than I thought I would be. Yes I am sore still but that soreness is becoming less and less. There is some pressure in the middle of my tummy that I am wondering about? Perhaps a seroma or perhaps something else. Anyway I am going to mention it to the…

  • Day 7 Post Op

    So today is day 7. I have had a long hard kind of today today. I feel overwhelmed and sore. My body aches from being in the same position for long stretches of time and my back hurts from maintaining the hunched over position that is required to not put strain on the muscle repair…
