  1. Awww you are sooo sweet!!! Thank you! I actually just use crest white strips about every 6 months! And then I use crest whitening mouth wash a few times a week!!!!!!
  2. Thank you so much!!! So excited for you to try my recipes :)
  3. Thank you so so much!!!! It has been an amazing journey and I have found that this new life is just the beginning. I feel brand new!!! Thank you for your kind words!! Xoxo!!!
  4. Ughhhhh! DUMPING IS THE WORST!!!!!! I’ve only dumped a few times! But it’s awful. And I almost can’t even describe it. The heart racing, stomach churching, mouth watering. Yuck! And it’s the weirdest things that make me dump. Halo Top ice cream, the lowest sugar granola, low sugar Greek yogurt! WEIRD THINGS!!!!!!!!!!
  5. I remember feeling like this too. All at once, people just started noticing. But then again I think people are also so hesitant to comment on weight!! Which I can totally understand!! Hang in there- people will notice!!!!!
  6. Hahaha I’ve been wondering the SAME THING!!!!!! I’m like “these people need to stock up on food instead of toilet paper!”
  7. Thank you so very much!!!!! This new life sure is amazing!!!!! ?
  8. I really do appreciate you explaining it to me! I’m currently on my phone and trying to figure out how to delete the posts that I made in the other forums! I don’t want to come across as spamy at all! That’s never my intention!! We can never have too many people helping others!!!!
  9. Yikes. I apologize. I didn’t realize it worked like that here with the recent posts and such. I really have the best intentions and only want to help people. I make zero money off of any of my services or website. I have no ads. If people shop my links on my website I may make a small commission, but it’s pennies. I’m very sorry. I will be contributing to this platform- just like I do with Instagram. I have built my following on Instagram from zero and help many people there for free.
  10. Yayyyy!!! It’s so good! Thank you so much!!! I hope you like it!!!!
  11. Hey girls! I started my journey at 338 pounds!!!!! I’m now 158 pounds and at my goal weight!!!!!! BEST DECISION EVER!!!! I share my story in Instagram! I’m Maddie5088 on there!
  12. On June 26, 2017- I had gastric bypass surgery. I have lost/maintained 180 pound weight loss. I share my journey on Instagram - (my name on there is Maddie5088) and I also have a public Facebook Page called Mornings with Maddie.

You can find it here - foodfitnessandbeauty.com I share body positivity, kindness, self love, inclusivity, healthy recipes, grocery hauls, I do monthly giveaways, how to meal prep, affordable/easy meals for bariatric patients and I do Q and As for Bariatric patients. I have felt very called to share my journey with the bariatric community! I hope you come follow along my story! It’s been a heck of a ride! Xoxo Maddie
  13. I have struggled with my weight since I was five years old. Late in 2016- at 28 years old at my heaviest weight- I had my first appointment with a bariatric surgeon in Akron, Ohio where I live and began the steps towards gastric bypass. I was so scared. But I knew that I would rather risk my life than live like this forever. I feared that my parents would bury me in 20 years and that my sister would become an only child. I knew I had to do something. I had tried everything. Between the ages of 8-28 I had tried everything under the sun. I could not lose/maintain the weight loss. On June 26, 2017- I had gastric bypass surgery. I have lost/maintained 180 pound weight loss. I have a whole new life. It is quite beautiful. I look forward to living everyday.
