🎙️ 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!

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

🩸 Iron infusion day: not glamorous, but powerful. Healing, rebuilding, and showing up for my body one step at a time. Taking care of my health and honoring the journey. I have come a long way and it has been 20 months since my last iron infusion where I got 12 of them over the span of 3 months. That is a win!

✨After bariatric surgery, iron deficiency can be common, and iron infusions can help restore levels faster than oral supplements for some patients. Make sure you talk to your provider and follow their advice/recommendations. This is my experience and just sharing general information.

🩺Iron infusions help replenish iron stores, support oxygen flow through the body, and can improve symptoms like exhaustion, weakness, and dizziness.

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.

Borrowing @theirongiantess sound for this one because it hit all the right points.
In my early IG days, I remember seeing weight loss community people saying things like “new body, who dis…” (no shame).
But for me, I was always thinking, what new body?
This is the same body. It’s been through hell and back. It’s not new cause it works harder and looks different.
It’ll always be mine. Not new. Not old. Just the body that was strong enough to make big changes. ❤️
