    You are so ready for this!
    Sat here refreshing until your video was posted. I couldn't wait.
    Hmm so B12 is a good excuse, but just think how much yarn you could have bought!
    Glad the bomb squeeze was ok, it's worrying waiting for results.
    Loved this video. Am was laughing along with me.
    So less than two months and you can start the new you and your Barbie figure.
    See you Saturday. Take care and keep safe. xxJane

    Congratulation on getting your date. I had surgery in February 2017, I have lost 142 pounds, I still have 50 pounds to go. Good luck

    Congratulations and good luck with the surgery and the journey before and after.
    I have always been big. I gave up when the dr told me i had an inactive thyroid, and even with meds, losing weight was almost an impossibility. 20 years later, I realized I have food intolerances. Removing those foods, with more to be removed, i, according to the scale, am back to my high school weight. So about 13-15 pounds in 6 mos.
    The weight loss is a side benefit, the biggest gain is I now have entire weeks that go by with no stomache discomfort or nausea. Who knew.

    • @katrinascreationscrafting
      @katrinascreationscrafting  3 года назад

    I'm so happy for you. The comedian Joan Rivers was always joking about her "boobs". She used to say that by the time that she's 50 she will need roller skates. So funny!! Glad to hear you passed your psych eval and there's no need for that jacket that makes you hug yourself!! You are so funny. I love your videos. I will be patiently waiting with you.

    Oh Kateina. You are so fine, don't you loose sleep over that psych evaluation! They want to assure that you know you will not have anaesthesia and awake to a barbie doll figure! It just doesn't quite work that way! It will still unfortunately take time and a lot of work to continue to lose weight! 👙🙊

      Yes, I need to lose a little more weight before they will do the knee replacement. The lower my weight, the better results from the surgery is what my knee surgeon said. So, I having the weight loss surgery first, and then in the spring I will have the knee replacement. At least, that is the plan.

      @@katrinascreationscrafting okay, word to the wise from one who had been there done that, lose as much as you can while on the losing streak! Stay as close to the recommendations as possible. Cause once the weight lose slows down, I find it hard to get it going again. And even regained some. This, I wish now I would have worked harder and stayed on track longer and better!
