bariatric surgery is a barbaric surgery. filling you with foreign objects to reduce stomach space, banding your esophagus or fundus such that your body interprets its internal pain signals as fullness. cutting your stomach to a tiny size or evn removing it altogether. it leads to vitamin deficiencies and has a high rate of complications including bile leakage, dumping syndrome, osteopenia, abscesses, pancreatitis, and more. the way people are taught to hate their size so much that they would undergo dangerous surgery, and that the medical industry happily tells people where to sign without telling them the full extent of bodily disfigurement, is tragic. while people may have a valid reason to pursue weight loss, we need to look critically at the way bariatric surgery is marketed and performed and explore more holistic options.

Never before seen pictures before weight loss surgery 7 years ago lost 200 pounds in 1 year. Yes I do still have extra skin but it's caused no health problems so I don't qualify to have it removed. My Dr . Estimates my extra skin weight about 35 to 45 pounds. Surgery date Nov 2016. Surgery date weight 317

Nov 2017 weight 217

July 2023 weight 195 Dr estimates my actual weight if I had extra skin removed is 150 to 160

Recipe: Mini Bagel Breadling

Servings: 2 per serving: 53 cal / 0.2g fat / 10.4g carbs / 2g protein

Ingredients:

30g spelled flour

40g low fat curt/quark

1/4 tsp baking powder

pinch of salt

additional: bagel seasoning / sesame seeds

Instructions:

put all ingredients (except bagel seasoning) in a little bowl and tickle it until you get a smooth little dough ball.

2. divide into 2 even balls and roll it out into a worm. Connect both ends of each worm to worm a ring.

3. accidentally drop the ring into the bagel seasoning and put them onto a baking sheet.

4. put the baking sheet into a cute mini oven on 180°C / 356°F for 15 min until golden

5. take them out and let them cool down. Enjoy! :)

In the near future i wanna experiment swapping out some of the flour with neutral protein powder. I will let you know how it went and post a new recipe if it was a success :)

You’re On Your Way to Bariatric Surgery…But Your Loved Ones Have Mixed Feelings. Now What?!

Now this topic right here…is the KICKER.

You are on your way to bariatric/weight loss surgery but some of your family and friends don’t understand why you chose that route. “Can’t you just eat less and exercise more?” “You’re not even THAT fat so you don’t need it!” Or you get the folks that have heard these conspiracies about folks eating so much after surgery that their new stomach/pouch explodes and they die…yeah I’ve heard all of this, too.

You can’t control everyone’s opinions about WLS but you can control how you respond to them.

First of all, your body - your choice. Ultimately, you are the one that knows what is best for you and your health. No one else can tell you that. They obviously don’t live in your body so how would they know what you need to get healthy? In my journey, I had got to a point where my appetite was outrageous and I could no longer put on my clothes comfortably. I was huffing and puffing trying to put on shoes 🙄 I couldn’t take walks without my ankles swelling so much to where I had to sit and let the pain ride on. I knew I had to do something. I tried the gym, eating less, restricting (which is a BAD idea) and it didn’t work. That’s why I decided to go the WLS route and it was (and still is) the best option for me.

Second of all, keep yourself educated on all things WLS. This helps with dispelling those WLS rumors. Ask your doctors questions. Find workshops or classes related to WLS. Find “peer reviewed” articles and sources to learn. This helps you have a well rounded knowledge of WLS and to help educate your loved ones on what actually happens. Will they still bring up dumb stuff? Oh yeah! As long as you keep educating them, they’ll eventually understand your choice…or they won’t and that is still OKAY!

Lastly, this is the hardest thing to grasp and accept but there are going to be individuals that will not open their minds to the WLS world. They are going to say things like, “WLS is the easy way out” which grinds my everlasting gears. They won’t ever understand. And some of these people will be your own folks! The best thing to do is pray for them (I’m Christian so that’s what I do personally) and leave them be. You don’t need that kind of negativity in your life. WLS and this journey is hard enough on us and we have to stay focused on the task at hand!

I’m going to try and post every Saturday from now on. It’s the only day I get to focus on this project. Thanks for reading and let me know what other topics you’d like to discuss!

-AJ

I don’t know why I thought I could have regular food ._. I double checked my bariatric diet nutritional guide and I’m on soft foods until 6 months after surgery, and it’s barely two months. Maybe cause the second check in with the surgeon is right around the time to stop the soft diet? I had my first check in a week after the surgery and my second check in like three days before thanksgiving so maybe the nutritional guide is wrong?

I mean I feel okay with the foods I’ve been eating, I’m being accustomed to the tiny portions I can eat and being better understanding that my portion of soup will look different than my portion of mashed potatoes or cheese or Greek yogurt and definitely different than my portion of meat.

I should go back to the correct diet for this stage of my post surgery healing, right?
