My bariatric journey has been one of the most transformative and empowering experiences of my life. After struggling with weight gain due to chronic illness and medication side effects, I knew I needed a long-term solution. Bariatric surgery, specifically the loop duodenal switch, has given me a new perspective on health and wellness. From adjusting to a high-protein, low-carb diet to learning new ways to manage portion control, this journey hasn’t been easy, but it’s been worth every step. In this post, I’ll share my personal experiences, the challenges I’ve faced, and the lifestyle changes I’ve made to achieve a healthier, happier life.
