WARNING AND DISCLAIMER: This post contains excess skin and medical photos. If you do not like less than aesthetically pleasing photos then this blog entry isn’t for you today.

It’s D-day!! I can honestly say the last 31 days have been amazing, challenging and rewarding all at the same time. I have committed to maintaining a high focus and high intensity to get me in the best possible place and ready for my apronectomy. I committed to 3 meals and 3 snacks a day incorporating fresh veggies into my […]

It has been more than a long time between my When Holly Met Percy official blog posts.

Yesterday was a big day for me. I didn’t just celebrate a little win. I celebrated a gigantic non scale victory and achieved one of my goals that I set out for myself. One of my main goals as a part of my reasoning for having WLS was to be an active and participating parent as opposed to watching on […]

One word I hear talked about very often within my social media networks for not only those within the weight loss surgery community but just in general has been bothering me for some reason.
