After having a vertical sleeve gastrectomy back in August 2015, I started coming up with lots and lots of recipes that fit what I needed in my new diet. It was suggested that I start a blog to share these recipes with other patients, pre-op, post-op or even those just looking for a better diet! After almost three years of consideration, I figured I'd give it a shot. My highest weight was a few years before I decided to start really trying to lose weight for the long haul and was 385lbs. I ended up at a pre-op weight of 365 and hit an all time low of 192lbs in June of 2017. Due to some health complications, I've had a regain of approximately 40lbs in the interim. In may of 2019, I had a conversion from VSG to RNY (gastric bypass) and I'm currently doing my best to lose that plus until I reach 185lbs. Join me in my journey and please, feel free to share yours!
