BRB, busy enjoying life after this upper body glow up. ✨

After removing her loose skin with a 360 tummy tuck, @becomingbex met with @gavindrymd to help tackle her arm and breast lift next. It’s safe to say, she has no regrets. ❤️

✔️ A breast lift restores youthful contour and firmness to breasts that have sagged due to aging, pregnancy, or weight loss
✔️ An arm lift removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms, resulting in a more toned and proportionate appearance
✔️ Both enhance body symmetry and improve overall body proportions!

🎙️ NEW EPISODE ALERT! 💜 WHERE HAVE YOU BOTH BEEN?!? OH YOU KNOW JUST HAVING SURGERY OR PREPARING FOR IT 😅 HYSTERECTOMY’S & SKIN REMOVAL

LETTING GO OF CONTROL: When the Healthcare Professional Becomes the Patient. 🩺

What happens when you’re the one who is used to taking care of everyone else… but suddenly, you’re the one who needs care?

As healthcare professionals, we’re trained to anticipate complications, advocate for patients, and stay in control. But when it’s OUR turn to recover from surgery, surrendering that control can be one of the hardest parts of healing.

💜 Knowing what to expect doesn’t mean you have to navigate it alone.

💜 Being a nurse doesn’t mean you have to be your own nurse.

💜 Accepting help isn’t weakness. It’s part of recovery.

🎧 Join Steph & Bex on a new episode of @bariatricwarriorpodcast as we get vulnerable about navigating surgical recovery, trusting others, and learning that sometimes the strongest thing you can do is LET GO. Bringing Awareness of Endometriosis, Adenomyosis, and PMOS.

✨ YOU ARE SEEN. YOU ARE HEARD. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

🎙️ Listen on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Podcasts & iHeartRadio!

🔗 www.bariatricwarriorsupport.com

💬 Let’s talk: Are you someone who struggles to give up control and let others take care of you? Tell us in the comments! 👇

Freedom was the point. Freedom to buy what I want, wear what I want, and not hide behind black clothing anymore. 💗

This isn’t the only reason why, but it’s a big one that affects me daily. What is a reason that affects you every day? Tell me! I want to celebrate with you. 🥰

1. Hydration. Seems simple, get 64 oz of water a day (or more) but let me tell you, when you’re on a glp1, there’s limited space in your stomach and if like me you forget to drink, you find yourself deciding between eating or drinking. I often chug water in the middle of the night or first thing in the morning in order to hit my minimum goal. 😅

2. Prioritize Protein. Hitting my protein goals of 120g a day (my personal goal, your goal and body may differ) is HARD when my stomach feels full, I have food apathy, or am experiencing nausea. 😩 But I eat my protein first for every meal, plan high protein snacks, and supplement when I need to with shakes and bars.

3. Get 7-8 hours of sleep a night. MINIMUM. 😴 WAY easier said than done. 😑 My brain struggles to turn off, plus adding in chronic pain or other issues, and I’m lucky to get 5-6. BUT I’m working on getting to bed earlier and prioritizing a better sleep schedule and hygiene.

4. Movement. Any kind. Anything you enjoy. It doesn’t have to be a big deal, and you don’t have to be an expert or workout till you are exhausted. Moving your body in some moderate way at least 30 mins a day most days is enough. 💪🏻 Sometimes I can only manage 10 minute intervals of movement at a time. Some days I can do an hour. As long as I am getting something in on a consistent basis, I know I’m on the right track.

5. Do something for yourself. 🥰 It can be joining an exercise class, learning a new hobby, planning a date night for yourself, having a night in or reading a new book. Something that’s just for you and no one else. Self care can often get pushed to the way side when we are focused on losing weight, but that only leads to burn out and relapse. 💗 So do something that brings you joy.

I could list a dozen more but these are a good start.
I’m 20+ pounds down from my highest regain and still going and I couldn’t be happier with my progress both on the scale and in my life since I’ve been focusing on these 5 things.

SAME GIRL. DIFFERENT LIFE. 💜🔥

If you think this is just a weight-loss transformation… look again.

The biggest transformation happened where the scale could NEVER measure it.

I lost weight—but I gained a voice.
I gained confidence.
I gained boundaries.
I learned to ADVOCATE for myself.
I learned that surviving the hard parts of this journey would eventually become part of my purpose.

And no… bariatric surgery wasn’t the “easy way out.”

There were complications.
There were setbacks.
There were tears.
There were days I wondered what the hell I had gotten myself into.

But I kept going. ⚔️

The woman on the left had NO IDEA what she was capable of.

The woman on the right?

SHE KNOWS. 💜

So here’s your reminder:

👏 STOP comparing your Chapter 2 to someone else’s Chapter 20.

Your body.
Your timeline.
Your journey.

And if nobody has told you today…

I SEE YOU.
I HEAR YOU.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE. 💜

👇 DROP A 💜 IF YOU’RE PROUD OF HOW FAR YOU’VE COME—even if you’re not where you want to be yet.

Frankly, onboarding with @weightcare__ was so quick and easy. Plus, the support afterwards is the best I’ve found. There is a wonderful app for tracking food, learning more about glp1’s and how they work, has been a game changer in my journey to lose this regain! 👏👏

If you are on the fence about seeking further help losing/maintaining your weight after weight loss surgery, please reach out. I’d love to chat! ❤️

I’ll never show you my after photos of my meals. Why? Because how much I eat may be vastly different than what you eat. Because my dietary needs are not the same as yours. Because posts on social media are not some weird competition to see who can eat less. 👏👏

But I will give you meal ideas and share the types of food I eat. Maybe you’ll find your next favorite meal/food idea!

Most of these meals shown are from @factormeals because they help me meet my nutritional goals, and ease some of my decision fatigue. But you don’t need Factor to be successful. Just eat what you want and add what you need. ❤️

I remember what it felt like to want to dress up, to cosplay, to participate but instead I struggled to find things that fit, I couldn’t wear the costumes/items sold at the events, and I couldn’t walk around all day without needing to stop and sit down. 😞 It was rough.

Now I have the freedom to wear what I want, dress in anything, buy the clothes I see at the events, and walk for as long and as far as I want. It’s beyond freeing. 😌

What is one NSV you experienced like this on your journey? Something that was freeing. Tell me your stories!

Food noise is not cravings. It’s not a simple matter of willpower to ignore. Food noise is a constant stream of thoughts about food: what am I going to eat? When am I going to eat? How many calories is that? Why am I eating?… they never end. It’s been like this for my entire life.😣

But a glp1 did something no therapy, lifestyle changes, or willpower did… it took away the food noise. 🤯

For the first time in my life I understood what people meant when they said eat to live, not live to eat.

Am I losing tons of weight? Nope. It’s slow going due to my hypothyroidism, genetics, and other health factors but it’s helping me maintain, not backslide, and instead focus on the things that really matter, like showing up for myself. 💪🏻

I’m getting my glp1 through @weightcare__ and I’m so grateful for their guidance. 👏
