I’ve never done this, and I feel very shy about it- if I’m honest.

This past year has been eventful for me, to say the least. I’m at the end of my weight loss journey now that I’m pretty much at target weight and I’m left with all the loose skin from years of being morbidly obese and abusing my body. My confidence and body dysmorphia because of this really affects me, both mentally and physically.

After taking my life back and working so hard to get to where I am now, I’m still left a slave to my body once again and am ashamed and embarrassed of my loose skin. The loose skin causes health issues like rashes and infections as well as ruining my confidence.

Some people suggested making a gofundme, as paying €8k for this surgery isn’t possible for me right now. I decided, what’s the harm? And made it. I’m not expecting anything, but if you could even just share this that would be amazing.

Thank you all for being on this weight loss journey with me and being so so supportive.

I appreciate every one of you💖

If anyone donates, just know I appreciate you so much

Weighed in at 191.6 lbs today. I'm 5 and a half months post op gastric bypass. I couldn't even tell you when I was under 200 lbs last. I'm pretty sure I've been over 200 lbs my entire adult life. I'm so grateful that I was able to have this life changing procedure. If your thinking about doing it to change you health, to improve your life....Do It!!! It's certainly changed my life for the better. #rny #rnycommunity #rnygastricbypasssurgery #changeyourlife #healthiswealth #gastricbypass (at La Pine, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpfd7X4Ldrt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

TIPS FOR SUCCESS OF WEIGHT LOSS POST-BARIATRIC SURGERY

Weight loss surgery post-Bariatric surgery is a journey, not a destination. It is important to remember that it is not a quick-fix solution for all the problems in your life. Weight loss surgery is a tool, but one needs to be disciplined to achieve and maintain your long-term health goals. Making healthy choices and maintaining a healthy lifestyle are critical to maintaining long-term weight loss. Here are tips recommended for people who are in the maintenance phase post-Bariatric surgery.

Practice mindful eating

Eat slowly and chew food thoroughly.

Avoid problem foods such as tough, fibrous, or overcooked meats, skin, and seeds of fruits and vegetables, nuts, and popcorn.

Never overeat. Stop eating when you begin to feel full. Overeating may cause stomach pouch dilation in the long run and may lead to weight regain.

Drink adequate (6–8 glasses) of water daily to avoid dehydration.

When going out, never be stranded without food. Always carry healthy snacks in your bag.

When eating out, use a small plate or bowl, especially at a buffet.

Maintain a food diary to find ways to change your eating habits.

Eat small & frequent meals

Skipping meals does not help with weight loss. In fact, it slows down the basal metabolic rate in the long run.

Eat frequent small meals which include three main meals with 2–3 mini-meals in a day.

Opt for healthy snacks like sprouts, fruits, etc. in between meals. Eat only if hungry.

Eat a protein-rich diet

Post-bariatric surgery protein is the most important nutrient. It helps the body in healing, supports rapid weight loss, is better for glycemic control, and helps in building lean body mass

Try to eat it first in every meal. Take a minimum of 60–80 grams of protein in a day.

You can add recommended protein supplements to meet your daily protein needs.

Avoid consuming empty calories

Foods like canned juices, sweetened drinks or biscuits, etc., that are high in calories but low in other nutrients are referred to as empty calories. They contain energy but little in the way of essential nutrients.

Eating high amounts of foods that are high in empty calories will cause nutrient deficiency and also interfere with your weight loss process.

Avoid Sugar and food with sugar content

Avoid taking castor sugar, honey, jaggery, jams, canned juices, and squashes or sugary beverages to avoid dumping syndrome post-bariatric surgery.

You can add fresh fruits in curd, milk, and porridge instead of sugar.

When shopping for groceries, always read labels for sugar content.

Metabolic surgery/ diabetes surgery helps resolve Type Diabetes. Taking sugar may interfere with long-term response and results.

Drinking liquids

Don’t drink liquids when eating solid food. It may force foods through the stomach pouch too quickly and may cause dumping syndrome in gastric bypass patients.

Take liquids minimum of 30 minutes before and after meals.

Don’t use a straw to drink liquids as then more air is taken in and satiety occurs faster. It may also cause discomfort in the stomach.

Avoid drinking aerated drinks as they Increase thirst& hunger, cause loss of fluids (due to their diuretic effects), and can increase the risk of kidney stones.

Opt for healthy options such as coconut water, lemon water, lassi, butter milk, veg soups, and veg juices to fulfill the daily liquid requirements.

Avoid alcohol intake

Take recommended nutritional supplements

After bariatric surgery, one needs to be very vigilant with their daily supplements.

Bariatric patients are required to take Multivitamins and doses of Vitamin D, Calcium, Iron, and Vitamin B12.

This is a lifetime commitment.

Life Style changes post-bariatric surgery

Meal planning is important. Eat Healthily.

Exercise. Workout with a combination of cardio & strength training.

Don’t avoid your follow-up visits. Regular follow-up will keep you motivated and also help timely diagnosis and treatment for nutritional deficiency, surgical complications, or any health issue.

Don’t give up, stick to your goals and stay happy!!

Lunch on the couch! Strawberry Greek Yogurt with raspberries and chia seeds.

In other news, I did a free trail at a gym through December. I started to feel scared walking in the dark in the city, so it was a really nice feeling to be able to workout in a safe place. I signed up 2 days ago.. and our province just locked us down again today and gyms are closed 🙄. Great. I was so excited to be back at it.

Not even 24 hours ago, I joined what we lovingly call the “losers bench.” Happy birthday to my pouch of a stomach which I call Oscar as I fully expect it to be grumpy from time to time as we learn how to navigate our new reality. I lost 44 pounds from my heaviest to the day of surgery. That has led several people to inquire into why I’m having surgery if I’m already losing weight. This surgery just gives me one more tool. It’s up to me to use it correctly, put in the hard work and retrain my brain’s relationship with food. This tool will help me drop weight faster, reclaim my life sooner but only IF I DO THE WORK. This is not the easy way out. I will lovingly and respectfully answer any questions you may have. Just know I came through surgery fine and am ready to tackle the next steps towards making more changes. I did this for me, for Scott and Emily. To break some generational curses. We all have to find what works for us. Thank you so much for your support. #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlosssurgery #gastricbypass #bariatricsurgery #rny #rnycommunity #lessofleslied (at Norman Regional Health System) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU7C2FBLqje/?utm_medium=tumblr

So I heard that a good way to boost fertility is to lose 5 to 10 percent of your body weight (assuming it's reasonable for you to do so).

I weighed myself tonight and my scale said 191.4. So if I aim for 10 percent, that's 19 pounds. At one pound per week, it'll take me five months to lose it and I think thats definitely reasonable.

I'm still working on getting more protein in every day from regular food sources and not shakes. I actually think it's helping not only with getting more protein in, but making it so im so full all the time that im really not snacking that often. Im still struggling with food aversions and I will win eventually. I can usually get about half way through something I really don't want to eat before I physically can't eat another bite without feeling nauseated. Better than not eating it at all

My body dysmorphia is REAL today…this time last year I could’ve only DREAMED of being where I am today. Yet my brain tells me I look the same, the loose skin is really fucking with my head. All I can see is the loose skin, it makes me want to crawl out of my own skin because I’ve worked so so hard to get this far just to have yet another obstacle.

But nevertheless, I’m proud of my progress. I’m proud of the strides I’ve taken this year to improve my health! It’s a daily mental battle against eating disorders, but I’m winning today. And I’m making moves to hopefully get skin removal surgery.

I can’t afford the surgery, but I so desperately need it for both my mental & physical health.

The rashes & discomfort loose skin brings, on top of how badly it affects your mental health, takes a massive toll. Especially after working this hard to get to where I am.

If you can spare 2 seconds to even just reblog this post, I’d appreciate it so much🥺💖 and if anyone donates, please know I see you and I appreciate you so much.

I had spent years of my life struggling with weight problems.

After exhausting all other options, I decided to undergo bariatric surgery in hopes of a new beginning and the chance for a healthier lifestyle.

But despite my dedication to diet and exercise, 125 lbs still seemed impossible to shed off until I stumbled across all natural supplements that promised sound health benefits.

Out of desperation, I decided it was worth giving them a try.

To my surprise, the supplements worked wonders!

I soon found myself feeling energized and more optimistic about life than ever before - something that had been missing from my routine for too long.

My gut health improved as well as my sleep quality which resulted in better digestion and higher metabolism - helping significantly with weight loss goals!

The road wasn't easy but thanks to these natural supplements I was able to stay motivated throughout the journey and finally reach my dream body goal after 15 months - weighing less than half what I used to be at one point!

Nowadays I enjoy an active lifestyle full of healthy habits while also continuing taking care of myself through daily supplement use – something that has become part of who I am now.

My story proves no matter how hard things are you should never give up on your dreams because eventually they will come true if you keep pushing forward day by day!
