The Gastric Sleeved Chick

I wanted to take a moment to talk about something that's been a huge part of my life lately. Many of you may know that I've recently lost over 100 pounds, and while that's an achievement I'm proud of, it comes with its own set of challenges.

I'm often told I look "stunning" now, which is wonderful to hear. But if I'm being honest, in my head, I'm still the person I was before I lost the weight. It's like my mind hasn't caught up with my body. And even when I was heavier, people would often give me backhanded compliments like, "You're beautiful for a B*W (Big Beautiful Woman)." While I know these comments were intended to be kind, they always left me with mixed feelings.

Weight loss surgery (WLS) is no magic bullet; it's a tool. The emotional journey is every bit as challenging as the physical one. To anyone else on a WLS journey, know that it's okay to have complicated feelings. The road to accepting your new self might be long and winding, but you're not alone.

If you're feeling stuck, it may help to consult a mental health professional experienced in body image issues. And never underestimate the power of a supportive community—whether it's this one, a WLS group, or loving friends and family.

You're more than a number on a scale or a backhanded compliment. You're a person deserving of love, respect, and kindness—both from others and yourself.

Wishing everyone strength, resilience, and abundant self-love as you navigate your own journeys.

Much love,
Sierra
