I'm a Bariatric Foodie and...

I am also a WLS experience blogger! My name is Robyn.

I had RNY gastric bypass surgery in December 2011 and have lost more than 100 lbs so far.

My blog, My Journey to Fit and Fabulous, focuses on my experience from pre-op (deciding to begin the pre-op program) all the way through to my current life as a post op patient.

As it occurs, I talk about my struggles and successes, physical changes, mental changes, family  relationship quirks, and amusing things that I would have never experienced if I had not had RNY. There’s always something happening to write about.

I started the blog as just a place for me to get things out of my head. No one close to me had WLS before, so I was somewhat on my own trying to get my head around my new life. Since then, some people have
stumbled across my blog and seem to enjoy it. I enjoy knowing that people find what I write to be real, relatable, and helpful.

Here’s my advice if you’d also like to be a WLS experience blogger. Be truthful to your audience! Some parts of post-op life, especially early on, aren’t so pleasant. But sugar-coating things so as not to scare off potential WLSers does a disservice to them and to your experience.

So if you are pre-op and looking for an open account of the post-op life or if you're a post-op looking to relate, check out my blog!
