9 days post op.. still VERY swollen!!
people ask me what a panniculectomy is and it’s just skin removal — i didn’t have lipo or muscle repair my lil ab muscles were hiding underneath the 6.4lbs of excess skin (from the hundreds of workouts i was doing BEFORE surgery) 😂🤭
i’m healing right now but wait a couple of months and i’ll be stronger 💪🏻

being strong >> being skinnnny

A reminder: you don’t have to reach your goals to be worthy of love and grace.

When people praise who I am now but criticize who I used to be, it stings—because she was me. She fought battles no one saw and worked hard to get me here. Looking back, she deserved far more grace & kindness than I ever gave her.

Every version of you deserves love, grace and compassion—not just the one that “made it”. 🤎

i told you that incision is LOWWW, cannot see her 👀 hahaha. i never share things with an intention of “flexing” on anyone. i’m honestly just so proud of how far i’ve come, even though im not perfect — mentally & physically i’m in a much better place than i ever was. #weightlossjourney #healthjourney #panniculectomy by @jeraa.rn

then i’d be lying!!! 🤣🤣😂 sustainable weight loss happens slowly and it’s multi layered. you can’t out workout a bad diet. heal your relationship with food.
1) eat until you’re satisfied —not when you’re full (take food to go if you can’t finish it, or throw it away— a waste is a waste whether it’s in your body or the garbage)
2) eat WHATEVER in moderation, but prioritize protein & fiber
3) hit your goal steps every day (pick a number and hit those steps 5,000-7,000 is a good start!)
4) drink enough water
5) don’t eat when you’re bored 😅
6) do what works for YOU.
talk to your doctor if you feel you need support (in any kind of way, obesity is a chronic disease and treating it sometimes needs medical intervention—don’t be ashamed!) love your body through it ❤️ #healthjourney #weightloss by @jeraa.rn

let me know if you have any other questions! i didn’t get lipo or muscle repair so i kept my expectations realistic! i haven’t had kids (yet?) 🤣 so i opted for just doing skin removal for now! (or for forever who knows LOL) 😆 anyways so happy to be working out again 🥹 and gaining strength back! 💪🏻 #panniculectomy #healthjourney #weightloss by @jeraa.rn
