I'm 4 months post surgery and already into my second stall. I track all of my foods, have good macros, drink at least 64oz of water, and exercise daily. I never had the misconception that I'd lose weight quickly, but doing everything right and still failing has me more depressed than any other time in my life.

I have providence insurance so I have to go to them. Do I ever see the surgeon again after surgery? Nope. Am I comfortable with that nope. Am I going to him anyway because he’s who my insurance covers. Yes.

Glad to hear how i fill. i lost 45 lbs before gastric sleeve and 45 lbs after and have goals of 4 to 5 lbs a month after that. Ill be down to what my surgeon suggested weight for me in about 3 months and that will be 6 months from the sleeve surgery. I would like to loose 25 more lbs after the 6 months and be 199.9 lbs. On my year sleeve anniversary. August of last year i started the weight loss journey at about 340 lbs. It would be great to be the weight i was at 22 when i got married i was 205 lbs now i am 67 years old. Intermittent fasting weighing everything that went in my body and walking has been what worked for me. Starting some strength weight exercises for all those inches coming off me is also muscle. Being a carb. Addict getting enough or what i should have in protien is a challenge. I am happy with vegetables but i need protiens to fill up that small belly space. I am learning new tricks. I will never drink health shakes or powders ever again my body did not agree with them even getting lactose free was horrible. That was for me the worse part of the beariatric program.

Yeah but this surgery isn’t worth it. I wish I had given working out, better eating habits and being around more positive people that pushed me to lose weight.

Since January, i have listened to hundreds of hours of videos to prepare myself for surgery in August. This is by far the best pre surgery video I have seen so far. It inspires me to also share my experiences so far. Thank you so much!

what is considered "cheating"? ...like a full meal? Junk food?

So helpful! Thank you for posting this

I really love and appreciate your videos! So much great info! Thank you!

My appointment is tomorrow. I’m so happy I seen your video ahead of time.

Thank you! ❤

How am grateful to have found your channel. Thank you for the time you take to educate 🙏🏿

Perimenopause can contribute significantly with weight gain

My fear is to have acid reflux after surgery and having to do a secondary surgery to correct the issue. I have read a lot and that’s mainly what people have indicated they regret the surgery but not everyone has this issue.

Do not get it done. Lose the weight naturally. Will power

thankyou four weeks away from gastric bypass surgery and i cried like a baby today i got six kids and i dont want to leave them behind 😢❤

❤ In the beginning my surgeon, however, after listening to you, i now believe it's going to be me. Thank you for explaining this part of the process so plainly. You are so informative and realistic and I love it.

Thank you for sharing. I really appreciate the thought and time you took to really explain the process. I'm currently on my two weeks pre diet and my surgery is Sept 6th. I'm trying to learn and absorb everything that's going to be needed to make this a successful transition in my life. You are an inspiration so please keep up the great work. ❤

Hello, I am gonna start my pre-op diet on August 28th ..plz guide me thanks

I’m having my surgery in August. Your information was very helpful. Thank you.

Im two weeks out from my sleeve. The BIGGEST thing is for me is the mourning of food. That was my best friend. I dont regret the surgery tho, because i was gonna die if I kept living like that. Just make sure you realize your relationship with food will never be the same before you get this surgery. There is no going back. Best regards ❤

Heartburn is a big issue with sleeve. Yes knowing about it is completely different than experiencing it and I am not a fan of otc or prescribed meds. I got approved by my insurance for bypass hopefully soon but I am concerned what if bypass is not going to ease my heartburn otherwise why doing it? My knowledge about it is so far a maybe yes or no heartburn. Please help. 🙏

I’m signing my papers in June. I’m hating the thoughts of the gas. I know how much it hurts I had a hysterectomy and the gas was horribly painful.

💡

This is the best video explaining about the gas im in a lot of pain i had my gastric sleeve surgey 7 weeks im praying it goes away soon im so miserable with it thankyou so much for your advice x❤

My surgery was 5 days ago and I am laying here in bed, in the dark, feeling very disappointed. I don’t feel like anything has changed except I’m about to overdose on jello. I hope it changes but I absolutely have buyers remorse

My fear of having the surgery is that I won't be able to eat and be malnourished and starve to death.I have seen some people like 80 pounds and can't gain! That scares me.

Great video.I have my consultation on March 28,2023.I am still not 100% onboard with getting this surgery.I'll know more after the consultation.

Am on my 3rd week and is on my purée phase, am still fighting side effects (dizziness, lightheadedness, fatigue) I regret that I didn’t do enough research about vsg before having the surgery, I only heard about the good results and not the post op side effects and complications. Being African and doing the surgery was different for me in a sense that I regret I won’t be able to enjoy my native food again, I also regret my portion size will be small. Maybe in the long run I will overcome these regrets, it’s just like you said “after surgery, everyday has a different issue” and I can’t wait for a time where I will feel normal again. Current side effects: Dizziness, Lightheadedness, Chronic Fatigue, Chronic Gas Pain, Unable to really burp, I always feel like the food is sitting in my chest even though am not eating regular food yet. And most of all, regrets of why did I do it and what if.

Great video, thank you!

Great video Im 6 years out!

I’m on a month 5 stall and i just hit my one year on 10/11 and i haven’t move since June I’m so sad .

I’m 4 weeks post op on a gastric sleeve and I’m finding it really difficult 😢

Can you swim before 30 mins without taking a dump?

Sometimes there's nothing quite like a good dump. But thanks for the info, will def help. 1 lv🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🕊️

What habits did I miss?😊

Yes I would love to know about a bariatric keto plan.

I liked that you remained quite objective without pushing the surgery but only suggesting it as an option (after considering all the negatives and positives) but that losing without surgery is also an option. Basically what I got out of it all is that if we do nothing (surgery or diet) then nothing will change and that was powerful.

Thank you so much for this video. I am at the beginning of the process to get a VSG and my initial appointment is on the 30th September. This video is really helping me address my food issue before I start this process so I can be as Successful as possible.

Who decides your goal weight after having surgery?

Hello, I saw this video pop up in my feed. I'm so glad I took the time to watch it. I'm 2 weeks out of WLS after a 2.5 year wait ( COVID happened). I live in Canada and it seems here there is a greater focus placed on Mental Health pre-op. I have a great team of medical experts who check in regularly. I still think I can learn so much from what you experienced. Thank you so much for sharing.

What is your question you want me to answer? Who are the 'food pushers' in your life? What do they say to you?

Thank you for posting this 🙏🏼

Thank you for this!

I know you've done videos on hair loss before, and I understand why it happens and knew it probably would happen. (I'm losing a lot now in my 4th month) I guess my question is what are some things you did to maintain confidence during this time, which could last awhile? Do you know on average how long the process is that it continues to shed? More than anything, just some answers to how to stay positive during this period....just as my body is starting to look much better, this process is bringing me down a bit. Love your videos!

What's your next question?

Thank you this really help me with knowing what to ask my doctor

Yes please do a video on bariatric keto and IF. Thanks! Your videos are very informative.

Let me know if you are interested in life skills coaching!
