🥳13 Year Surgaversary🥳 This month I celebrate the life changing decision to have bariatric surgery, back in 2012, in El Paso, TX at William Beaumont Army Hospital with Dr. Schriver. I lost 150lbs in 6 months, after having a VSG. At the time I had no idea the way this one decision would shape my life. But now, I can’t imagine my life not as a bariatric patient, fighting obesity, alongside my community. I onboarded a GLP-1 this year to help me lose 115lbs of regain, and I’m so glad I did. After getting sober in 2021, IVF and surgery in 2022 and a battle with depression, the disease was winning. This is a lifelong, chronic disease and it requires TREATMENT. Grateful for all the fellow patients that I’ve met along the way, the medical professionals that have worked tirelessly to support our community and the scientists that continue to bring new research to the community. It’s been a great 13 years, can’t wait to see what’s next!! 🥳🌟

💕A lot can happen in 6 years! (But since I was asked- I’ve had ZERO work done to my face 😆- just a handful of Botox appts💉)

🌟2020-Eloped during COVID with the love of my life.

🌟2021- Hit rock bottom with my mental health and alcohol addiction & went into treatment.

🌟2022- Underwent IVF, husband joined the Navy, moved two times and regained 100lbs.

🌟2023- Started trying to get to the root of the weight regain, spent a year on myself, and rebuilt a support system.

🌟2024- Started a new business, tried to lose the weight regain on my own but struggled w/back injuries and set backs.

🌟2025- Onboarded an obesity doctor, added GLP1 treatment for my obesity, lost weight without shame or guilt and loved myself the whole way through. 95lbs⬇️

🌟Change takes time. And it’ll never be the perfect time to start. So I took the first step. And then continued, one step at a time after that. This isn’t a race, and there’s finish line. This is your ONE big beautiful life- invest in yourself!!!🌟✨🌟

🔄2022 Regain (300lbs) ->2025 Now (205lbs)

🔄2012 Day of WLS (310lbs) -> 2019 Lowest Weight (180lbs)

🌀Sometimes with obesity, it can feel like a wash, rinse, repeat cycle. But I just want to remind you- you never start from scratch. You start again from experience!

🌀And what you can’t see in that pic from 2019 at my lowest weight, was me struggling worse than I’d ever struggled before. Drinking to cope with anxiety & depression, not eating and miserable.

🔆Today I have created a life I LOVE, and don’t need a vacation from. My life feels aligned with my priorities and there’s balance.

🔆Ask yourself if you’re creating a life, routine and habits you ACTUALLY want to keep. Because if not, it won’t be sustainable. And that’s the secret- a sustainable, balanced, healthy life is one you don’t need to escape from. 🩵

💉8 months GLP-1 Update: I started Wegovy at 285lbs mid-January, although my highest regain weight was 300lbs. Well today I weighed in at 205lbs. I’m down 80lbs since starting the Wegovy and 95lbs of overall regain. I’m so proud of myself and the hard work I’ve put in. I’m starting a fitness program Monday with .michaela.d and I’m excited to build muscle and get my b***y back! 😆 But overall, this has been a great tool for me in conjunction with my sleeve (12.5yrs postop from wls). I’m so glad I took the plunge, hung in there through the early headaches and nausea, and hope to continue taking this for maintenance whenever I hit my goal weight. I didn’t set a goal weight this time, rather I’m allowing myself to see what weight feels good, with a healthy lifestyle in place that I’m willing to maintain. Balance is the goal here!! Grateful for this second chance and going at it with experience.

January 285lbs ➡️May 240lbs: So grateful for access to a GLP-1 and my support network. 12.5yrs postop from bariatric surgery, and I’m still fighting the disease of obesity. Don’t count me out! 🤩 When we moved to Washington, I weighed in at 300lbs in January of 2023. So in total I have lost 60lbs of regain so far. And it feels good to remind myself, “I’ve been like this…” and I can do hard things!! 🙌🏻

💉🗓️GLP-1 UPDATE: Yesterday was 2 months on Wegovy, and 2.5 months since I started working intentionally on this regain. ⚖️⬇️I’m down 38lbs, exercising 3xs weekly, getting +90g of protein each day and taking my vitamins. 🫶🏻I haven’t had any GLP-1 side effects for a weeks now, and I’m holding steady at the 1mg dosage. Plus my energy has come back after having strep last month. 👩🏻‍⚕️I’m set to see my doctor again this week for a follow-up, and I’m looking forward to sharing my progress with her. 🥰

❌FRIENDS-STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS!!❌ Did you know I’m 6’2”? And so this is what a 35 pound loss looks like on me. 😳Not super noticeable right? I am proud of myself for putting in the work to drop 38lbs in 2.5 months. ❤️‍🩹But I get messages from people shocked and disheartened that they aren’t losing as fast. ⚖️Consider that I’m running a much “larger” machine over here, and my resting metabolic rate is most likely higher than yours. Which just means it takes a lot more calories to run this body than someone that’s 5’2”. 🙌🏻So be proud of your progress, big or small. 🏃🏼‍♀️Because if you’re moving even an inch closer to your goal, that’s better than sliding an inch backwards, further away from it. 🌟
