As someone who is in her 60s I pay a lot more attention to my self-care. I can remember waking up the day I turned 40 and wondering why my vision was getting so blurry! Of course I look back and laugh now because that was my first sign that the aging process had started to kick off. Today, I know that even the little things like a pain in my hip can't be ignored. Btw - I no longer suffer from blurry vision after having cataract surgery on both of my eyes. Don't laugh 😂 One day you will understand and even if that day has come for your too, hopefully you will get inspired by some of my self-care routines.

Three years ago I went outside to check that my spigots were covered before a pending storm was to descend over Nashville, TN. I slipped on black ice, wedged my running shoe between two pavers, and heard my ankle snap. I had never broken a bone, but I immediately knew the pain was unlike anything I had ever experienced. I screamed so loud my neighbor came over to help me crawl inside. That night the city was covered with 6" of snow and if you know anything about living in the southeast, that much snow equals paralysis! It was six days before I could get to the doctor's office for them to declare fractures on both sides of my ankle joint and for surgery to be recommended. Now, the x-ray of my ankle looks a lot like a fence post someone screwed a bunch of screws into through a metal plate! Before I went into surgery, I went into deep research mode to put together my “Ankle Healing Protocol”. I committed to doing whatever it took to restore full function to my ankle. I was about to turn 50 years old and hadn't lived an active, healthy life thus far just to trigger a cascade effect that would make me feel a lot older than I was. I'm happy to report that I was jogging again in 3 months and can do all my regular yoga poses as I could before surgery. I have since shared this “Protocol” with multiple other people who had similar surgeries and they experienced similar results. Take and apply whatever resonates with you and leave the rest! And as always, use your judgment. Consult your doctor as I am a middle-aged woman trying to lead a happy, healthy life, not a doctor or a physical therapist!
When it comes to the USA bariatric options are available everywhere, you just need to know where to find them and one of these places happens to be Walmart!
These are some recommendations for you to have after your surgery whether it's food or household products this is the place to find them.

I wish you nothing but the best on your journey and remember it gets worse before it gets better, the pain is only temporary and you will be on your path to a better life the moment you make the decision to get the surgery.

I've always had stomach problems and also acne, and since I started taking these supplements my problems have improved a lot, I love them and I've bought them again and again, I think you have to look after your body from the inside out and sometimes that means taking some supplements to help you get all the nutrients you need.
