My trans friend is getting FFS surgery at the end of the month & we had an amazing talk last night. I basically told her this could be one of the last really scary moments in her journey. ⬇️
Taking the plunge to ask for help losing weight felt embarrassing, getting VSG felt scary, but after that all the big decisions just felt… right.
I knew eating two tablespoons at a dinner restaurant would be considered weird, but I knew it was apart of my journey. I knew people would talk s**t when I got plastic surgery to remove 90 lbs of loose skin, but my goal was CRYSTAL CLEAR. 🦋
Once you can truly visualize YOUR pathway, the rest will fall in line. People will try to pull you down, carry on without their support. things will fall into your pathway, push it to the side and keep going. You know what needs to be done so hold your head high and consider it game time.
Life is so short, have you ironed out your goals? 🤟🏽
spent months trying to ibuprofen my way out of hip flexor tendinitis 😅 spoiler: didn’t work
so i tried electroacupuncture, dry needling & manual massage — and as an ER nurse who only trusts peer-reviewed research, what i found actually surprised me
a 2002 harvard study found that nearly 80% of acupuncture points correspond directly to fascial planes in the body — the same connective tissue that transmits signals between every system
ancient healers mapped this with zero imaging technology and called it meridians. modern anatomy is just now catching up.
western medicine is unmatched in a crisis. but for the chronic stuff — the tendinitis, the locked hips, the nervous system that won’t reset — sometimes the east knew first 🤍
I’ve seen this stuff work in ER for migraines, kidney stones, anxiety & the science is definitely there. Have you tried acupuncture?! what are your thoughts?

Life is too damn short, I’ve worked too damn hard (& spent wayyy too much money🥲) to let a couple back rolls ruin my day 🌈 so get in girl, I’m taking you with me. ✨👯♀️
If you’re on the fence for tummy tuck, I’m not saying do it… just saying my life has never been the same since. 🥲🌈🦋 finally free
I knew there was a good reason for keeping all those damn clothes 😜
The scale deserved the middle finger.
Life’s short. The numbers are truly arbitrary.. stop giving the scale power over your mental health.
Ok love u bye
When my surgeon recommended bariatric vitamins 3x a day, I knew there had to be a better way.
I’ve been taking Bari Life ‘Just One’ for years because it’s exactly that—one capsule, once a day.
VSG takes about 30 seconds of my day:
💊 Vitamins
🥩 Protein
✨ Live life
Code ‘MARISSA20’ saves.
The most powerful part of this journey has been realizing there is NEVER going to be a finish line.
For years, I thought I’d be satisfied when I hit a healthy weight.
Then I lost 90 pounds & still hated my stomach 😭
Then I thought it would happen when I got the flat belly.. now I NEED to do a handstand 😜
So every milestone taught me the same thing:
There is no finish line.
What started as a weight loss journey became a journey of showing up for the person I WANT to be.
So maybe instead of comparing ourselves to people on the internet, we should focus on one question: Would the version of me from a year ago be proud of me today?
Am I stronger?
Healthier?
More confident?
More comfortable in my own skin?
If the answer is yes, then we’re doing just fine 💕

The amount of swelling I had post op tummy tuck literally gave me a panic attack.. 😭
TG things are better now. 🙏
Comment ‘FAJA’ if you want the link for the faja that saved me.
Biggest plastics advice?
1. Find surgeons with before & afters that look like YOU.
2. Know your goals.
3. Be aggressively clear.
A consult is not the time to be vague.
Life is short babe. Go for it ✨
