Hi my wonderful people. I've been MIA yet again, only this time it was to focus on my recovery. My surgery was on the 24th of May 2021 (putting the date for future reference) and I'm officially 14days post-op. For those who don't know, I had weight-loss surgery, gastric bypass. For those of you who [...]
In less than 12hrs I will be on the operating table, unconscious and embarking on a new life before my pretty eyes can flutter open. I've gone through so much to get to this point. For some, it still happened rather quickly, but I'd say it was about the average time for this process. I've [...]

Beginning two days before my consultation appointment, I've been on a strict and specific diet. It's been 11 days (8 days of doing it correctly) and the 5th and 6th day were Hellishly awful. I was in pain from hunger, doubled over in the bed and wishing I could claw my insides out to rid [...]
Here's the update! I had my first appt for gastric surgery today. Let me start by saying, the drive was long, but well worth it (2.5hrs). I entered the facility and was the only one there. Three cheers for that. Last year may be gone, however we are still in this pandemic. Anyway, the woman [...]
