Oh, hi! Did you know I have a blog? Apparently I’ve forgotten. Anyway, I thought I’d stop by and dust it off. A lot of you follow me on social media and have noticed (and commented on, thanks!) my recent weight loss and workouts. It’s really sweet of you to notice (and comment, seriously). I…
So! It’s been a little over a year since my surgery, and several months since I checked in here with you all. Guess what happened in those few months of no accountability? I regained! I stopped making good food choices and I haven’t been exercising. Although there are several reasons for those two things, including…
A year y’all! It’s been a year since my Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG)! I am pretty sure I’ve said this in each post, but I can’t believe how quickly time has passed. I haven’t met all of my goals for this year, but I am beyond thrilled that I took this step to being healthier….
I’ve never chosen a word for the year before. I’ve set goals for the year, I’ve done resolutions, and I’ve set intentions, but never chosen a word. This year, I set some goals around health, words, and some other things and have been writing them in my bullet journal. As I was looking through my…
Hi everyone! Almost a year since I cut out my stomach, I can’t believe it! It’s been 11 months since I had Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG) and the time has flown. November was a big slow-down for me in working out. I think after working out so much in October, I took a bit of…
Double digits since my surgery you guys! I forgot to post last month, so if you were on pins and needles waiting for that, I apologize. Let me tell you, it might be more that I have been really frustrated, so maybe I didn’t “forget” to post as much as I just didn’t feel like…
Hello everybody! Guess what? It’s been 8 months since I had my Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG)! I think the post title might have given that away. So, things are going well, trucking along. Remember when my doctor told me to be careful about getting lax with my food intake? I should have listened more closely….
Hey everyone! Seven months since I had my stomach cut out through Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG)? Yes, yes it is. I had my 6-month check up with my bariatric surgeon last week and there was high-fiving. She’s really happy with my progress, and doesn’t see any trouble reaching my goal weight. She did tell me…
I can’t believe it’s been six months since I had my Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG). It really feels like I just had the procedure. Just time-wise, not pain-wise or healing. I can’t feel a thing in any of my incisions or anything like that. This month, I got a little better with food and I…
Five month check-in you guys! If you’re new here, that’s five months since I had Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy surgery. This has been my least compliant month so far and it’s really showing in my weight and inches lost. The culprit? Bread and a few cupcakes you guys! So I’m getting my act back together in…
I can’t really believe it’s been 4 months since my bariatric surgery. Except that it also seems like I had it last week. Time is weird. April was the first month that I had a substantial slow down in my weight loss. I expected it, but was surprised at how hard I had to work…
Oh, hi! Here’s the check-in for three months post-op after having Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG or a sleeve). I still feel really good! My energy level is good, I’m able to get in all my hydration and supplements, and I’m hitting my protein goals. My weight loss is slowing down a little, but I didn’t…
