The transformation still blows me away. March 14 2024 I was 243 lbs. Had surgery, and I'm down to 125. I actually look smaller (last photo is from February). I'm so proud of how far I've come. #wls #rny #gastricbypass
7 weeks post surgery:
So, after not being able to keep most solids down...barium swallow shows the gerd is worse and I have a slipping hernia.....EDG shows I have an ulcer.
All in all, do not recommend RNY unless you are EXTREMELY obese, and then, meh. OOF

Lettuce wrap tacos for dinner. I measured the ground beef using my 2oz baby food jars. Perspective is probably confusing because that’s an iced tea spoon #wls #bariatrics #rny #bitesizedmeals

Bathroom selfie of me (40 yo white woman with short brown hair) in a black Cure t-shirt that's hiked up to show my stomach and open jeans. My stomach skin is loose and covered in stretch marks. My belly button folds in on itself. I'm making an open mouthed smile at the camera

I'm holding my skin out and up to show how much there is. My eyebrows are raised at how crazy the floppy skin is.
Because I need to think of anything but the state of the world, let's do something completely different. This is what a stomach that's lost over 100lbs in about a year and a half looks like. My kids call it my floppy skin. I wasn't unhealthy 100lbs heavier, but I'm far more active now. #rny #wls
Post you from a different era of your life.
2021: Back at my heaviest, I was 416lb, constantly in pain and just sick of nothing working.
143lbs lost so far 🙌🏾 #RNY
I'm still a little incredulous that insurance cos haven't started capping time on GLP-1 analogs & then denying coverage while still covering weight loss surgery #WLS. Wegovy ~$16K per year potentially indefinitely; gastric bypass #RNY $15K-$36K one time.
DEATH CAN COME ANYTIME. IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO YOU ARE IF YOU’RE HEALTHY OR WEALTHY. YA ALLAH MAKE US BETTER MUSLIM BEFORE DEATH 💀 STRIKES

A dish featuring Cajun-crusted tilapia placed on a bed of colorful vegetables, including corn, edamame, cherry tomatoes, onions, and hot peppers, all arranged over a layer of garlic cornmeal. A dollop of lemon mayo sits atop the tilapia, with a small strip of bacon adding a final garnish. The presentation is in a shallow white bowl on a green countertop.
Dinner this evening :)

There is also a cheeky piece of bacon on there that I shouldn’t be eating. 🤫
