You know...
I know they tell us this going into surgery “weight loss surgery doesn’t cure food addiction” but I think I was just very naive. I thought.. how can I eat like I used to with a stomach the size of an egg.. but the truth is, and I am speaking for current experience... addiction doesn’t care about your “tiny tummy” when the addiction takes over and you lose control, you will fill that pouch up and not even care about the pain, or the discomfort.
I’m going to be honest here for a moment, I’ve been avoiding my social media recently, it’s hard to come on here because right now.. I don’t feel like the good role model/ influencer I set out to be when I started to document my journey. I’ve been eating all the wrong things, over eating and just slipping more and more... I’ve gained some weight and I’ve been beating myself up over it!! I’m working though the emotions of that. Convincing myself that gaining 1-5 lbs is normal.. but it’s hard.
If you are considering weight loss surgery, please please please make sure you are in a good place mentally. Make sure you connect with a social worker, or therapist. Make sure you connect with a dietician who specializes in bariatrics. I have the most supportive family I could ever ask for and for that I’m so grateful, but I think it’s beyond just having a supportive family at this point. I need help treating my food addiction and mental state. This journey has been sooooo hard, emotionally and physically. #wlsstrong #bariatricsurgery #rnycommunity #bariatriclife #wls #wlscommunity #weightloss #wlssupport #wlsinstacrew #wlsfam #wlslife #rnylife #rnysurgery #rnyjourney #thisshitishard ...
