- after my VSG surgery-

I don’t regret having surgery; I regret not making it count. But now, I’ve decided to take control, regain my confidence, and lose the weight again! 💪✨

This time, I’m doing it for ME, and I’m ready to crush my goals. 🙌🔥

Join me on my journey, and let’s support each other every step of the way! 🌟❤️

2024/12/20 Edited to

After undergoing Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG), many individuals face challenges with weight management. It's important to understand the reasons behind weight regain, such as decreased physical activity and caloric intake mismanagement. By identifying factors like 'drinking all calories' and neglecting to monitor dietary choices, individuals can better navigate their recovery. Setting realistic goals, staying active, and forming supportive communities can significantly improve outcomes post-surgery. Remember, achieving weight loss isn't just about the surgery; it encompasses lifestyle changes and a positive mindset. Engage with others who share similar experiences to maintain motivation and commitment to your health journey.

3 months post VSG surgery

After VSG surgery, I knew that my diet had to not be restrictive because that would lead me to cheating on my diet, feeling guilty, and eventually giving up. So i’m learning to not deny my sweet tooth, or my love for coffee, but make smarter decisions and remember to have temperance in everything😌
