You are such a joy, Meredith. I want to hug you because of the trials and setbacks you’ve been going through and also for the triumphs. You are so real and admirable and so human. I pray everything that you’ve striving for comes and I wish nothing but the best for you and your family. Thanks so much for sharing! 🤗

I had the gastro sleeve about 7 years ago, I was 130kg, Iost over 40 kgs & now sitting just under 100kg. I think I missed the peri menopuase stage, and have hit menopause in my early 50's. Blessed to have my late mothers genes, as no side effects . Good luck with it all Meredith

Dear Meredith, thanks for being so open! I hope everything will settle down for you in the oncoming months. I totally agree with you as far as peri menopause is concerned, I am 43 years old and I started having some symptoms, and I got scared at the beginning because nodody prepares you for that, and I had the same experience as you had by talking to close friends with the same issues, which reassured me in the end. I am also the only child of my dad after my mum passed away a few years ago, therefore I perfectly relate. I really wish you all the best, family, career and health-wise! You are a strong woman.

I just wanted you to know that we’re all in this same boat with you! I had a hysterectomy at 37 and was catapulted into perimenopause without warning!! Hormones will derail all weight loss goals no matter how dedicated you may be! The main thing is being healthy and sane! On another note, I’ll be in NYC in August as well! Looking forward to the trip!

I understand Meredith- woman’s hormones and what we have to go through is hard. I am 61 and all my menopause was complicated by thyroid and a genetic liver condition. We are all so different and unfortunately not all Doctors are educated enough. I am glad you are feeling better now.

Yep. I'm with you. I had gastric sleeve in november 2019. Took me from 368 pounds to 192 at my lightest. Lost my mom in 2021 and went up to 250 and stayed there until I got pregnant in December 2023. In my pregnancy got up to 275 and panicked. Dropped like 16 pounds immediately after he was born in September 2023. Now I'm on tirzepitide, seeing a therapist and nutritionist for my binge eating issues I've had most my life. At 240 and feel like, as you said, coming out of a dark place

@livingluxwithmeredith 2 месяца назад

@tiade_ 2 месяца назад

I can relate. There really isnt enough information about menopause out there either at least for someone who goes through it earlier in life. I went into surgurical menopause last year at the age of 42. I feel terrible and I'm struggling and trying to deal with hormonal changes, inflammation, etc. I'm hopeful to begin getting a handle on things in the next few months. I've found some resources in the you tube community which has helped me begin advocating for myself. Wishing you all the best with taking care of yourself and family. Truly enjoyed the chit chat video. It was nice to see ways can relate outside of enjoying your exciting unboxings.

@onegreenvoice 2 месяца назад

If you are able, look into finding a competent naturopath. She will know so much about food and supplements that can help take the edge off symptoms. I was shocked by how many of symptoms were related to food. Cutting out cow dairy and gluten helps with inflammation and getting rid of sugar eliminated hot flashes for me. All the best!

You are far from boring lovely Meredith. I totally get you with perimenopause. They do need to get more information out there. I had small operations like you and then had to end up having an abdominal hysterectomy in my 40's as I had a large tumor. I am so sorry you are going through all these health struggles but am happy to hear you are starting to come out the other end. Just remember you are beautiful inside and out. My thoughts and prayers are always with you. Much love. Jenni. XX💞

Wow Meredith, it’s always something. It’s hard for people to understand that as a business owner you are always working, but it doesn’t feel like work if you love it. Happy to hear your Dad will be living a lot closer to you. As far as being female: prep yourself now for menopause. I unexpectedly gained 10 lbs after gaining the COVID 15 out of nowhere and my body composition changed a lot. There is a Dr. in the United States who recently published a book titled “The New Menopause”. There are probably about 20 podcasts featuring Dr. Marie Claire Haver on the internet. I haven’t purchased the book but have listened to about 5 of the podcasts, darn hormones. Dr. haver says the motto should be “Strength over Thin”. Hope you find some time off soon.

@accountingforluxury Месяц назад

A lot of people, unfortunately, actually have big rebounds back a couple of years after gastric sleeve surgery and because of that it’s falling out of use in the US. You’re not alone there. Please be careful on the medication because, especially with you having a lot of hormone fluctuations recently, they can have a lot of unintended issues that make overall health worse. They can all work but they can also cause a lot damage (I’ve seen it happen to several people I care about). Hoping everything will settle down for you so you can breath happy and easy again and feel happy confident and satisfied in your beautiful self 💙

@livingluxwithmeredith Месяц назад

Thanks mate! Your info on the medication is interesting. If I end up taking it I’ll keep it in mind!

@miradonfbd 2 месяца назад

Even after gastric bypass surgery, it is a lifelong struggle to maintain weight loss. The biggest achievement finally having a set point. Although I did mess it up eating a bunch of junk when I was around the clock with puppies. You definitely have a lot going on. You’re very fortunate to still have both of your parents.

I’m glad to hear that things are calming down for you! Your plate was more than full. As someone who lift weights and even competed in bodybuilding, I started reformer Pilates few months ago. I absolutely LOVE it. We would think that for someone that is strong already it would be easy, but NO! These classes get me on my knees, it’s not easy but so worth it! I hope you’ll like it and we are all starting somewhere, it’s fun to learn and try something new! I’m 50 and peri menopause is a thing. I gained a bit of weight also but I’m just lucky that I just have to watch my diet a bit more to get it back under control. To me it was more the mood swings and feeling so depressed that got me. My doctor put me on HRT and I feel much better now.

Thank you for such a powerful, interesting, informative, raw, thoughtful video Meredith. Whilst it was supposed to be all about you, at every turn you showed how you thnk about others in every aspect of your life. I think I may have got slightly damp eyes when you discussed your parents. your love for them, the obvious support you give them, and that your dad will live with you when the time is right. I did that for my mum. It's not easy. But it's so rewarding and I regret nothing because I got to spend so much tme with her which mattered before she passed. I'm so glad some of the challenges of recent times are beginning to pass, the load is lifting and you are taking care of you and getting back to feeling like you. All the love. Here's to you. A cheers to you with a imaginary virtual glass of champagne across the miles. Thank you for keeping it real. x

Been there…..done that.😫 I think I was going through peri menopause for several years. You’d think you’ve completely stopped after 6 months with no cycles and then SURPRISE.😖 I had always suffered a lot because I had scar tissue from previous abdominal surgeries. After suffering for years I had a hysterectomy only because I needed another surgery more importantly so they decided to give me a hysterectomy as well. At that time I was in my early 50’s. I thought my pain would be gone but turns out it was most likely still due to my Crohn’s disease. Sorry for the long story but just know that it is a frustrating time but eventually you will cherish the day when you’re finished. Best of luck to you.🥰🙏

Thanks so much for sharing. I agree that there’s not enough information out there about perimenopause and still even menopause. I went through menopause at 40 because of a surgery and the only thing I knew about were hot flashes. No one talked about the crankiness that comes and sometime the only thing that gets rid of it is eating. I always think I’m hungry because my body feels like it needs something. Definitely not easy. Reformer Pilates is so fun. I should try that again.

Cathartic is the word you were looking for I think. Peri menopause is most definitely a thing sadly and can and does have a lot of symptoms to go with. Have a look online for Davina McCall she is an inspiration in the uk in spreading the word regarding the menopause. She speaks with Doctors, endocrinologists and menopause specialists also. She has actually got laws changed in the uk regarding menopause in the work place you may find a lot of knowledge regarding the menopause and Peri menopause she’s lovely too. You will get through this honestly….. I’m still going through it at 53 but getting there xx

Huberman Lab did a podcast with Dr. Mary Claire Haver all about perimenopause and menopause. It was very insightful! Highly suggest having a listen. She's also written books on the subject🙂 . And Johann Hari's book Magic Pill is all about Ozempic (he is on it)- I haven't read it, but listened to some podcasts where he discusses to contents. It seems like a pretty balanced account and should give readers a lot of pros and cons so they can make up their own mind. I'm neutral about it, but like to stay informed. Glad you're feeling better ❤

Love video. At work I'm oldest lady on team now. I joke don't mess with me I'm in menopause. Or I can't because I'll have a hot flash. I try to joke and they joke back. But the guus or younger girls don't get it. So fabulous video. One diet drug my dr. pulled me off two weeks ago.

That was a great and important discussion Meredith. You have raised some very important issues that society on the whole should be aware of. However, not sure about whether 'it doesn't matter what size you are as long as you are healthy'. Unfortunately, yes you can be metabolically healthy and overweight in that blood pressure, cholesterol and insulin levels etc are within a what is deemed a healthy range. However, there are many other factors to take into account. For one, it depends on where in the body the fat is stored in the body. There are a whole range of concerning and potentially quite serious conditions that might impact on your health. The Gastrointestinal system is so complex. Combine that with the Endocrine system.........it is mind boggling. Good luck with your fitness plan.

I think your health should be determined by your doctor as many bigger people are actually very healthy

I had a horrendous time with the menopause , it started at 42 , went on HRT for 6 months , my hair all fell out , spoke to an elderly friend and she suggested black Cohosh , I had to be careful as a serving police officer at the time , taking unknown medication wasn't an option. I researched it and started taking it and after 6 months I was back to normal , I also took starflower and evening primrose. I stopped taking them when I was about 50 . X

I can so relate to the weight and perimenopause issues. I am in my mid-to-late 40s and I started to have blood pressure issues, and my doctor told me to eat less and move more, and then asked me if I was depressed. It was so demoralizing. I hope you will provide an update in a few months. I lost a lot of weight about a decade ago, but, I’ve struggled ever since COVID.

Women with that kind of husband didn’t pick a good one. I don’t know any of my married friends that the husband says “you will do xyz and I will keep my life the same” none, and definitely not my husband. Even growing up on military bases all my life, none of my parents had friends like that either. Maybe that is an Australia thing?? I sure hope not, that is awful!

@livingluxwithmeredith 2 месяца назад

I think you probably know them, you just don’t know you do. In most cases it’s an expectation and an acceptance by the women that it’s just how it is. Women need to force the change and men need to offer the change. This is generations of gender expectations colliding with modern life and feminism.

No wonder you are tired, life is busy most days and if you’re not feeling yourself it is even more exhausting! I am a very routine person who likes predictability so if that is out I DO NOT COPE. Be kind to yourself lovely and may i suggest the odd Pajama day…you can still be on your laptop. 💕
