Congratulations, Katrina!!! I’m excited for you!!!!!
You are one of my inspirations after hearing how well you did.
Hi Katrina, it sounds like you had a heck of a week or two!!! Makes me think I definitely don't have anything to complain about 😂😂😂 I am so happy for you 😘🥰🎶🦋 sending you big hugs and love 💕💖🥰 I'm praying for you and I know you will be very successful on this wonderful journey!!!!!!
Please take care and stay safe and healthy 💕💗💖🎶🦋
Thank you, Karen. I was kind of hoping the surgery would get me out of jury duty LOL Oh well.
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
I texted my mom to tell her that I passed the psych eval. and she texted by..."so you fooled the doctor." LOL She has seen my craziness in action.
I definitely did enjoy your video! The “spooky” music as your transitioned from present to past and back to future made me laugh! It was good to hear that everything is a go and you are healthy!! Take care!!
Thanks, Stacey. I had fun putting that music in, it was late when I did the editing and I was feeling a little slap happy....apparently, in dire need of caffeine.
I’m so happy things are falling into place and you will
Have your surgery. I must need a lot of B12 lol I’m so forgetful ana exhausted. Have a great day!
I've had 2 B12 shots so far and am taking a daily oral dose and I still feel like I would like to take a nap...except my employer would probably frown at my falling face down on the computer. LOL
What a good news that everything is all right! Haha, all the craziness, work seems more relaxing than your live the last few weeks
Thanks, Joke. I'm so glad everything is okay at your home, too.
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
Wow, 142!!!! I was told to expect 80-100. You have done a FANTASTIC job!
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.
Wow, that must have been uncomfortable to have stomach reactions for years and having to deal with it. I glad they were able to find the cause so you would have relief.
I'm so excited for you. It's a long process but 100% worth it in the end. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Absolutely!! I am so looking forward to getting this done, and then onto the knee replacement.
I know what those crazy weeks are like. I'm happy that things are going well for you and that your surgery has been scheduled. How exciting! Thanks for the update💕💕🤗🤗
I can hardly wait.
Yay! 😁 you got a date for surgery!
I wish it would hurry up and come LOL I'm ready to go.
Wow! So much going on!! But you are handling everything with a beautiful smile 😍 👍🙏
Thank you so much 😊
I am so happy for you, my prayers are with you and Dave, stay safe and HUGS
Thank you so much, Ida.
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. Thanks so much for sharing Katrina!!
Thank you, Lou. I'm glad I don't have to re-decorate my house with soft, padded walls LOL
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! 👙🙊
Glad to hear they are getting that B12 in order. When checking both my B-12 & vit D, they are finding toxic high levels! So, you are in a better place then me! 🤐
Oh no, what are the doctors doing to getting your levels down?
@@katrinascreationscrafting drastically reducing my high recommended post sleeve recommended dosing. Once weekly vs daily suppliments. Recheck periodically! I thought the dosing was crazy high! 🤔 Maybe I ingest more nutrients then the average and don't require the recommended suppliments!?
Hi Katrina, I am so excited for you! Boy, you have had a week, word of advice, the reduction would be nice. My mom calls me Dolly, and when I lost weight, the boobs started looking like bananas, that's all I'm saying. I wish I had done it a long time ago. I am so tickled for you! I better go now, have a blessed day.
My family used to call me Dolly, too. LOL
Love the stories, will be praying
Thank you so much!
As always you make me laugh ! I love it !! I am super happy you have a date for SX wahoooo you past all your test with flying colors !
No padded room for me! Sending prayers your way for your knee.
@@katrinascreationscrafting thank you 😊 all in due time , right ! ?!
And Dave and Cricket are doing ok with all this going yes please you are more like a sister to me love you dearly God Bless big hugs Katrina i hear him
Hugs back to you, Beverley.

Great news
I just found out today that my insurance approved my surgery!
Sounds to me ordering yarn trying to do that don’t know how as long you got wool and hooks you and Russell would get along lol ho my goodness you need a weekend to sit and knit lol i saw that
A yarn retreat sounds lovely.
Hang on girl need tea wanna here this Hubby just phoned he still in the hospital maybe tomorrow he come home he sounds good
I hope Russell feels better soon.
yes your boobs will get smaller lol my daughter says they are empty tube socks after that lol.I still do a b12 shot in the leg every month or i get so tired i can't function even thought my surgery was reversed i still don't absorb like i should. i think i told you about losing most of my small intestine i just went to hospital had a blockage in my bowel.i'm so glad you not have roux-en-Y like i did!
Oooo, I hope you are alright. I had held off on the surgery for years because the only one I knew of was the gastric bypass and it scared me re-routing the intestines.
@@katrinascreationscrafting yes the re-routing is why it twisted in 2003 that was the big one people were getting.
@@HiItsKris Ouch. I bet that was painful...and scary. So, they reversed your bypass?
@@katrinascreationscrafting yes they had to because i only was left with 25% small intestine so i can't absorb anything right. Only good side is i can't gain my weight back lol bright side. but the scary side is it just blocked and i can't afford to loss any but it is ok now thank god
@@HiItsKris So glad you are okay. That was a lot to endure.
You are still struggling with joint pain and on hold with knee replacements?
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! You will di finger. Hopefully, better then myself! As now I struggle to keep losing! 🤐
BAH!!!! Yea you lose weight and no they don't shrink, not enough to not look very much like Dolly Parton. Believe me, I'm right there so understand, hehehehehe! Ok YAY!!! You've got a surgery date!!! BOOOOOOO!!!! It's the week before Thanksgiving which I feel is cruel and unusual punishment...dirty pool just dirty pool!!!
LOL I don't like turkey and my mom likes Stove Top Stuffing (why, I don't know)...so, I won't miss much.
@@katrinascreationscrafting oh you've be missing out if you ate with my family. We don't just have turkey. We have ham. I don't eat stuffing. You'd have plenty to choose from :)
@@tinahairston6383 I like ham. What time is dinner? LOL
You sure did have a week.
LOL I hope my mind kicks back into gear soon.
Ho my Katrina too much too much
LOL
