So, for YEARS I've always gotten these pains... crampy feelings up at the base of my ribs, normally left side and toward the back. I've asked doctors about it and they either dismiss it or I think one even said "sounds like gas". I dismissed that, sinc

I'm a few days shy of 5 months now from my VSG

I had previously said on here how my family doesnt know about my surgery. Over time, I have told a few people. My mom, my two sisters (my 3rd found out on instagram) and thats it. My two brothers nor my dad know. 

I was told by a highschool fri

I posted about how much I love my RTIC tumbler just after surgery. I still do!

Its on sale for $11.99 on Amazon today, I would DEF recommend grabbing one if you like tumblers. No condensation to damage or drip onto furniture. These keep hot hot

So was down in spirits last week. Not depressed or anything, just kind of in a funk. Definitely appreciated everyones responses/messages.

Lately I've been getting a TON of people telling me how much weight I seem to have lost. I'm going to be honest, I absolutely love it. This surgery was a HUGE step/choice that I made, and if I lost a bunch of weight and didnt ever get comments on how g

So, I was at Publix (grocery store) a month or so ago and saw these in the healthy frozen section. The packaging caught my eye immediately. I looked them over but put them back.

Saw this online this morning, thought it was kind of neat. Know some people have issues with remembering to take their vitamins/pills. I for one would love to use that service where they premake your packet of pills, but its prescription only
