My VSG Mom Life

I can’t believe that my little one is already 8 months old. It hit be the other day that we are only a few short months away from his 1st birthday 🥺😭

Remi loves crawling around, playing peek a boo with his big sister, and any kind of water. His favorite foods are on toast, banana, yogurt and tuna. He doesn’t have any teeth yet but based on the amount of drool, that will change any day now. He has found his voice and loves to show it off with shrieks and babbles of mama, baba, papas. 💜
We love you so much sweet boy. Stop growing so quickly.

Photo dump from a little photoshoot we did today. 😍

+3 years ago vs now
Looking back on those moments that were supposed to be fun carefree times with friends and family. When I so badly wanted to just be in the moment and have fun quality time with the important ladies in my life but I was distracted by the insecurity of being the biggest girl in the room.
I would feel like I couldn’t fully enjoy the food and drinks around for fear of being thought of as over indulgent, lazy and fat.

The first photo was taken at a Galentine’s party that I went to a few years back where all of the girls that attended were absolutely gorgeous and there I was.. feeling so far from that. Acting confident, because that was the only way I knew how to make it through.

I felt trapped in a body that wasn’t mine.. felt like I was never going to feel good and in the moment, free from the constant comparison that flooded my mind.

Weight loss surgery as well as all the other tools I gained (nutrition and exercise habits) gave me that. I can finally just be.

I can finally enjoy being around others without worrying how I am being perceived. Yes, the actual weight loss has been amazing and I feel great, but the REAL win has been the mental and emotional freedom I gained.

The hormone balance that made my son possible, the memories I am creating that aren’t tainted by negative self talk/thoughts.

I love my body and what it has done for me. Lose skin and all ❤️

2 weeks old today!! 😭😭 time is going by so quickly but so slow at the same time. So many diapers, so much time sitting in a chair with him attached to my b**b, Interrupted sleep and sleepless nights. The hardest thing I have ever done, yet I wouldn’t change a thing.

I love this time I have to study his every feature and lay with him sleeping on my chest. When he fusses and I pick him up, he almost instantly relaxes in my arms. Like he knows I’m home. I’m his mommy and he is my son.

Thinking back to a time when I thought I might never get to have this experience due to my PCOS. My hormones were so imbalanced that my body wasn’t doing the things possible to conceive a child of my own.

This surgery has completely changed my life for the better. I’m so grateful for this tool that has allowed me to live the life I always dreamed of. I was able to lose 137lbs and give birth to this beautiful baby boy.

Happy thanksgiving 🍽🦃🍁

We can’t wait to meet you, baby boy.
