    Week 1 VSG What I Eat in a Day (Video)

    02/19/2017 /

    VSG What I Eat in a Day     “What do you eat?” is the most common question I get. The answer? Not a lot. 2 oz at a time of each food below for a meal. Protein Mashed Potatoes Applesauce Strained Soup Greek Yogurt Broth Sugar Free Popsicles That’s it. I did eat a few eggs, but that was jumping the gun to the next phase so I stopped. I filmed my what I eat in a day video on EXACTLY my 1 week mark, and now I’m at about 1.5 weeks. On week 2, I have an appointment with my surgeon and then meeting with my nutritionist, AND…

    Pretty & Pink Plus Size Valentine’s Outfit

    02/14/2017 /

    HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!!   When I saw this shirt at Lane Bryant, I knew I just had to have it. Unfortunately, they didn’t have my size. Looking back now, I probably should have just purchased the smaller size knowing I was going to have weight loss surgery shortly after. #fail Lucky for me, I have a husband who loves me and loves shopping, so he made it his personal goal to take me to every outlet mall nearby within the next week to see if I could find this shirt, and we finally did! I just knew it would be a pretty perfect Valentine look for this year! If you…

    One Way to Bada$$ Babe – Edgy PSOOTD

    02/06/2017 /

    Edgy PSOOTD   How fitting was it to find this ONE WAY sign whilst capturing this outfit? First of all, I look like a bad bish. Leather and red and carefree all over! The other reason it’s fitting is because I have a BIG life change coming up. Like, I have been talking about it a lot, but I haven’t really focused on the serious side of my surgery here on my blog. The Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy is ONE WAY. I will have ONE WAY of eating after the surgery, and this tool is going to allow me to keep going that ONE WAY to my goals. I know it sounds…
