Welcome to A Mom On A Health Mission!


I’m Angela—a mom of five, lifelong book nerd, and passionate pet lover—sharing my real-life journey through bariatric surgery and beyond.

After deciding to take a bold step toward better health, I created this blog to chronicle my bariatric journey—the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Whether you’re just starting to explore surgery, already recovering, or supporting a loved one, you’re in the right place.

Why This Blog Exists

There’s a lot of information out there about bariatric surgery—but not all of it feels personal or relatable. I started A Mom On A Health Mission to fill that gap.

Here, you’ll find:

  • Honest reflections on life before and after bariatric surgery
  • Practical tips for following a bariatric diet
  • Simple recipes that are actually doable (especially for busy moms!)
  • Exercise routines that fit real life
  • Thoughts on mindset, recovery, and what nobody tells you about this path

My Mission

This isn’t just about weight loss—it’s about healing, growth, and reclaiming life on my own terms. My mission is to support, encourage, and inspire other women (especially moms!) who are on a similar journey.

If I can do this while wrangling five kids, sneaking in quiet reading time, and keeping up with my fur babies—you can too. 💪
