Celebrate Success - Crystal Gail

Our Brand Ambassador Crystal Gail recently celebrated her first surgiversary in August. While she is very close to reaching her first year weight loss goal, the most treasured gifts have been what she gained the past 12 months.  Crystal Gail’s zest for life is an inspiration to us and we Celebrate her Success. 🎉

Why did you choose to have surgery?

Crystal: I decided to have VSG because I wanted a better quality of life. My health was declining and I had to make a decision to get the weight off or continue to be miserable and in pain. Now that I reached my first milestone, my quality of life is much better than I could have ever imagined and I'm currently training for my first 5K.

What Celebrate products have been your go-tos and how have they benefited your journey so far?

Crystal: My top products were:

CelebrateONE 45 - Single Dose Multivitamin with Iron - This is the product that made me fall in love with the brand. The chewable version made it easy for me to take my vitamins at every stage of my post-op journey. 

ReNew Collagen Peptides - Adding collagen was a game-changer for me. I believe it assisted with building my muscles while on my workout journey. I had no idea that collagen had a good amount of protein in it. This definitely helped me reach my protein goals throughout the day.   

Calcium Citrate Soft Chew - The calcium chews are my new favorite and the flavors are delicious. One thing that I appreciate Celebrate Vitamins for is producing products that are tasty and also beneficial for you. 

What are some of your favorite NSV's (non-scale victories)?

Crystal: Most of my favorite NSVs all involve travel! I'm able to comfortably use an airline seat belt. I used to have to extend the belt all the way out, now I have access when I buckle my seatbelt. I went ziplining for the first time this summer and I was way under the weight requirements. Finally, I get to shop in my favorite clothing stores. I always loved the brand Express, but could never wear the clothes. Now I wear a size Medium to Large in their brand. That's a big personal win for me.
