Hey, Chile! 0:00-10:50 are my updates for the last two months. The remainder of the video is answering questions submitted to me via Instagram. See you soon!
FYI... if you are on the journey to have children i know people that have had the surgery and got pregnant within 6 months or so after the surgery
Do you take the vitamins from the infusion on your own?
I need this tshirt: “life was lifin, 2020 was 2020’n”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
hahaha facts
The outshine popsicles give me LIFE!! I'm 3 weeks post op and already 20 lbs down!! Best decision I've ever made.
The addiction transfer is real!! I never had surgery but I quit cigarettes and started overeating and eventually gained a bunch of weight. I finally did change my eating habits DRASTICALLY during quarantine, and have noticed that I started online shopping compulsively. The attention to and mindlfulness of other activities does not stop, you have to keep asking yourself "Do I need this?", in all things.
I totally understand!!!
Wow! I’m just seeing your comment. I basically just wrote the same thing! So yeah...we’re working on that shopping demon! I call QVC & HSN the “devil stations.”
Faye: I have an aversion to drinking water
Faye's skin: I glow regardless
RIGHT!!!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂
Best wishes on yur weight loss journey! Luv yur honesty!👌🏾👌🏾
My friend too. She only drinks powerade.
7 years post op and I still see the same person as before. I was 262, 5'6 and I have been able to maintain 175...3 to 5 lbs up and down both ways. 180 was my original goal. I am happy about the decision after all these years!
Glad to hear that!!!
@@FayeInTheCity like you I refuse to fail!
Can you still see your incision scars or did they fade? I really hate that I was pressured into doing the 6 incisions versus the one incision option by my surgeons insurance auth rep. Although small, I hate the marks. I’m 10months post op
I’m with you! I did the sleeve as well. I still see “OVERWEIGHT ”. I’ve gone from sizes 14/16 to a 6/8. It’s definitely a challenge. Transfer addiction is real! My shopping has gone up! It’s ridiculous. Ive been praying about it. My alcohol intake went waaaaaay up too. I gave it up from August-Thanksgiving. I’ve never was a drinker until after 30 yrs old but at 35 since the surgery, I was doin the most when they gave me the clearance. Additionally, it definitely slowed my weight lost down. I couldn’t lose and gained one lbs. I lost about ten lbs when i stopped drinking. Chiiiile, I drank over thanksgiving and ate sweets and felt horrible, physically. I have to get this brain bk in check! Didn’t come this far to lose! I never was a soda drinker but the thought of soda makes me cringe! Chicken hasnt been my friend after surgery. It literally sits there after I eat and I’m so uncomfortable 😬😂. I try to avoid her now. Thank you for all of your transparency! This is an awesome journey! You’re looking great! New subbie and now follow u on IG😘
Congrats lady!! Love your content. I had a Gastric Bypass in 2009. I was 343 surgery day, today I’m 175-180. My taste buds changed sooo much!! Till this day! Also, apparently I had Lupus pre-surgery, I had minor symptoms but attributed them to being fat. 2 years After surgery and significant weight loss, my Lupus was triggered and has been rough since. The MD’s(3 separate one’s)said the body was shocked by the drastic, quick weight loss, and kicked sister Lupus into full gear. I pray anyone who has the surgery has the best outcome with no complications. Thanks sis!!! Yes B12 is life, I can’t make it if I don’t take it! Love ya!!
Yea, I’m a real water drinker. I felt that one.. Water is bae
Yasssss!
The good news about working out is that you'll be building muscle mass which can sometimes help with the loosening of skin and keeping it at bay 😊
Also, you are looking amazing!! Mother is glowing!! 👏👏👏
Thank you!
Hey sis, keep going you're beautiful!! I had my sleeve done over a year and half ago! My surgery weight was 256 at 5'2" CHILE!! that's a lot for me because my average is between 160-170lbs. I'm now at my goal weight of 175lbs and my appetite is back to normal which is SOOO difficult and frustrating!! The energy level and hair loss and acid reflux was a MONSTER to deal with but I'm definitely not regretting it at all. 🙏🏽💯❤️
Are you still experiencing the acid reflux this far out? I never had it before surgery, but definitely after. I’m 10 months post op
So glad you promote good mental health. Counseling work!
Yes indeed!
I always love you honesty, you tell your Truth and if you say you're going to give us an update..you do. Looking great!! You go Chile.
Thank you!
Thank you 😊
I love how honest and open you are about your journey. Gurl water is my favorite drink so I can only imagine how hard it would be to adjust with the liquid intake. I'm so happy everything is coming along well and your body is adjusting to the surgery 😊🙌🏾❤!!!
Has it been 4 months already? It was just yesterday! You look amazing!
Thank you so much! Time is flying!
I love and am here for the full transparency!!! Thank you for being so genuine.
Your willingness to share your life in this way is inspiring. Thank you Faye in The City, I salute you!
Chile! You are heaven sent. I will be having the sleeve in 2 months and I needed to hear this
Yesss mother you are amazing ❤️ glad you’re seeing a therapist because you are very in tune about what’s going on with your body. If you’re happy I’m happy and wishing you the best of luck!
Hey Faye!
Thank you for the update and answering my questions. I love that you are starting now to understand your body more and not wanting to push it too much. I believe you will for sure get to your goal weight (175-180 was my favorite weight too. Was in high school and "thought" I was fat then 🤦🏾♀️) before you realize it. Thanks again for sharing with us ❤
Congrats on your weight loss progress. I felt you about the water. Water and I are besties, can't do without it.
I appreciate you sharing your journey. My little cousin just had the surgery and this helps me understand what's she's going through without asking a ton of questions.
So proud of you. Nobody tells you about the weird stuff that comes with weight loss. Keep going girl, I'm behind you.
Thank you!
Thanks for the updates! Listening to your experience helps me not be so afraid to continue with the process!
So happy to hear that!
This is a healthy weight loss journey. As long as you know where your short comings are and make adjustments to improve, you're on the right track.
Rooting for you! WE GOT THIS!!!! (as far as I'm concerned, we on this journey together) 💜💜💜
Thank you so much!
Ain't no thang! I just love to see WOC winning.
Thanks for inviting us into your world, I know you will meet your goals. I love the reaction your husband gave about channel and Tiffany’s and the way you look when your husband rants lol
I just love how REAL you are!!! I've watched you grow in not only subscribers but yourself, PERIOD!! Congrats and keep working hard!! Get it chile.
Thank you so much!
I love your honesty. You keep everything real. I appreciate you.
Thanks for watching!
Wow! I never even thought of addiction transfer in relation to food. This makes more sense in some of my behaviors. Thanks for this!!
No problem!
A lot of people dont understand that an addiction can be anything that you don't have balance in like food, working out, not eating, smoking, drinking, etc.
Thank you. Your doing & looking great! "Slow & Steady" gets the prize 🏆🥇anyway. Its not a race. It was your honesty about hair that first attracted me to your page. In my opinion, you've already won in that category 👏🏽 👍🏾😃.
Continued success with you health journey and thanks for brightening my day. Much needed and appreciated!
Thank you!
Faye, I admire your openness! You are reaching out to people with your personal life experiences and your testimonies!! You are helping others! It’s a ministry! God bless you!!
💖💖💖
Thank you for your transparency. I love this video. You look amazing and you’re doing a wonderful job!!✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
My take away, when you said "quality of life", indeed!!! Thank you for sharing, God bless you!
Thank you!
Chilllldddd you just awesome lol...very informative and transparent video....and your videos always are...keep doing ya thang and you look bomb!
I love these weight loss updates. I would love a few workout videos and/or what I eat in a day. 💜
Thank you Faye for this video.. and congrats on your journey 😊.. so happy you are doing this for you 💕
Gurl....my only vice now is shopping! Like you, I recognize that I have a tendency to develop extremely bad habits: Smoking, drinking...etc. Never had a real addiction until....the shopping 😞. It’s triggered by depression & anxiety (And following decorating platforms on social media😫)So yeah, the “addiction transfer” thing is real. Therapy is the only reason I haven’t gone into our savings. First step is recognizing & admitting we have a problem. Right? God bless you on your weight loss journey!
This video came right on time. I have my initial consultation on Tuesday. Thank you for sharing your journey!
💖💖💖
Hey Chile!! So proud of you and the progress you are making. You're an example for those struggling to follow through. God bless you on your journey. You know HE has you in his hands and you are not doing it alone....by HIS grace. You look amazing so keep on keeping on. Thanks for the update. I need to share it with a friend who needs encouragement.
Thank you!
Im so proud of you. After 8 yesrs on this journey. The therapy is the best thing to find out why we use the food crutch. It is so worth it. I still don't over eat but I really do not like to eat. Try to get some protein drinks from Sam's Club its made by Premier. I love outshine the sugar free and the fruit and veggie natural fruits. You will be able to eat those foods you like again. I can't stand to look at ppl eating allot of food either. Keep it up I have to use the protein drinks to get my protein. I'm still training myself to eat after yeard of being told not to eat and being forced to diet at age of 10 and I wasn't even overweight it was my parent who had an issue with me being 5"8 at the age. Thank you for kerp it real always.
You look FABULOUS Mami! I’m considering surgery but I have some issues to work out. I already have food aversions & I’m afraid that surgery will make me stop eating altogether. But you’ve been informative & inspirational ☺️
My cousin just had this done and she is looking good. Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing.
Hi! I have been following your channel for quite a while. I like how you keep it real.
Thank you!
I'm glad you emphasized on going to therapy. Alot of it is mental and keeping focused. I'm always here for your honest thoughts on what you're going through and what a person may expect to go through if they have surgery. Still proud of you and will never judge if you got reconstruction surgery if needed in the future. Do you boo!! ☺🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you so much!
@@FayeInTheCity You're welcome sis!! ☺❤
Come👏on👏progress👏youre doing such a great job. Keep going❤
Thank you!
Thank you for being honest and transparent. You show and tell “ the good, the bad and the ugly”. I appreciate it. Me love you long time. Maki da da🤣
I'm so glad that you made this video. Im two weeks out and have no energy. Im going to look into the IV therapy. Thank you. Also, you look fabulous!!
Thank you! And I wish you well on your journey!
@@FayeInTheCity 😊
Thanks for sharing! You are beautiful inside and OUT! ❤
Thank you!
Can I just say how much I appreciate your honesty about just flat not wanting to lose your hair. I’m about to start a new medication for my multiple sclerosis and one of the most common side effects is hair thinning. It’s stressing me out, and when I try to talk about it people remind me of what it will do for my health. And I’m like “I know, that’s why I’m taking it,” but I just really don’t want to lose my hair. As side effects go, this one is better than a lot of other meds but dang it, I don’t want to lose my hair. Lol. So thank you for helping me feel less alone.
No problem!
That intro is everything
I’m glad for your gains in this weight loss journey. Losing weight is not easy. Keep at it.
Thank you!
Faye, your mindset is great, proud off you! All I can hear is a woman who is willing to change. I hate water to so I add pieces coconut, ginger etc.
You look fantastic! I love you're commitment.
Thank you!
Love your personality Faye
Glad for you!!! Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
I am glad you did this video because I can relate to what you going through
That makes me happy to hear!
OK but let's get into these nails sis!!! 🔥🔥
Truly happy for u. Definitely abt to try to get my ish together too.
Thank you for sharing❤️❤️ And I LOVE those no-sugar added OutShine strawberry bars or the variety berry pack even better but hard to find. I let a few soften in a bowl& have my own little sugar-free Italian ice😋😋
That’s a good idea! I’m going to try that!
Hey girl glad you are alright I love it you keep it real much love to you
Thank you
Great video girl. Thank's for sharing. Looking amazing 🥰
Thank you!
I’ve seen lots of people who become exercise addicts after weight loss surgery. Try weight lifting to help fill out some of that skin. It won’t fill it all the way out, but it will help and create some shape.
Will do!
I had the DUNO DENIAL SWITCH 2 YEARS AGO & now on the maintenance stage....keep going forward & connect with gastric bypass groups ot helps....thanks for sharing
Try to incorporate a collagen lotion that helped firm up my skin. It’s not going to be drastic but it definitely helps. St. Ives have one. Your personality is amazing!
You are so cute and I love how you talk with your hands. I hope you reach your weight goals.
Thank you
Girl keep it up....glad you are doing well!
Thank you!
I love Jesus ah bah took me out🤣 thanks for being so transparent💕
Wishing you continued success!
Thank you!
This video is straight fire. Thank you. My surgery is next Monday February 22, 2021.
Great Video Faye thank you for sharing 😍
Thank you!
Keep going girl 💪🏾
Thank you so much for the info. My husband is considering this option. Stay strong you are looking great! Get your reconstruction surgery honey....I’m jealous👀😂
LOL! Thank you!
Almost 4 years out post surgery. Maintaining with not much effort at this point. Congratulations on taking your health and well being into your own hands!
Vitamins will drastically help with your energy.
My lab tests always show I’m in the normal range but I always notice a big difference when I take vitamin D and Iron. (I actually tried a lot of the vitamins you mentioned and did not notice a difference when taking them in terms of energy).
Even with the vitamin D and iron I notice differences when I take different brands (even though they are supposed to be 100% that vitamin 🙄 lol). All of that just to say experiment with different vitamins and brands. When you find one that works for you it will make a world of difference.
I am of the opinion that WLS changes the brain chemistry. Food aversions are absolutely a thing
Stalls happen, remember inches can be lost without without weight loss.
Transference is a thing! Be safe. That said, you look fabulous! More than 12/13 years after my surgery I am still happy and thankful to my surgeons.
You sho right, with any kind of weight loss surgery, taste buds change! But you must make yourself sip water thru out the day, if you have put lemon in it!
I just got my surgery approval now waiting for date to be on the losers bench! Congratulations on your Weightloss 👏🏾🎊🥳 I’m currently 237 lol
The shoe thing is so true. I lost about 50lbs this year. A pair of heels that were uncomfortable had some space in the back of them. I might start wearing heels again.
Wow eye opening! Thanks for sharing. GOD bless
We love to see it!!!
Thank boo!
“Life was lifein’ “ 😂🤣😂
Girl! 😂😂😂😂
2020 was 2020ing 😂
We don't sit we squat. 🤣 Always keepin' it real Faye.
Thanks for the update! I’m getting the surgery in April 😬😬😬😬😬
Ayeeee! You gone be snatched!
God speed on your journey.
Thank you!
Great progress!
I been waiting on this video😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Hey! Sorry for the wait!
Look into Clarins extra firming body lotion and shapwear to help prevent loose skin.
And you just answered my vitamin question Thank you
No problem!
I had gastric bypass in 2010 and unlike some of my co workers I didn’t experience hair loss as I made sure I got at least 50 grams or more of protein mostly in the form of protein powder. But you have to make sure it’s the right kind as some powders are for weight gain and muscle building which will of course stall your weightless. I have gained some of it back as the hardest thing is I have to remember it’s not a magic pill so to speak but rather it’s to help you in your journey to better health and exercise and what you eat are still very very important.
I had a co worker that would continue to just drink sodas all day long, smoke and drink alcohol so that was her transfer so to speak.
I’m now on my journey with intermittent fasting which I’ve fell off the wagon when COVID started as the stress level was or is way up. I’ve been in some sort of weightloss journey since puberty and IF has been the only thing I’ve had great success with.
Continued success on your journey.
Thank you!
Fay that was one of the questions I had , a couple people I worked with , after surgery they indulged in a lot of alcohol.
Love how detailed you are!! Just wondering...are you a fan of Protein Shakes to help with energy? Anywho...Im wishing you a speedy recovery!! 💕 Thanks for sharing.
I used to love them but I hate the taste of them now! They all seem super sweet! I like quest protein bars though. I’m eating and cookies and cream bar right now lol
Very informative, thanks for sharing
Have you tried liquid IV it goes in your water and it has many flavors. It gives you energy you can find it on Amazon
I’ll look it up. Thank you!
I loved water before, but after surgery your tastebuds change. That’s a fact! Things I loved before I don’t like & some of the stuff I hated I actually like now. 🤷🏾♀️ The hair loss can be startling, but thankfully we have enough hair that WE notice but others don’t.
I love the honesty. I have mines on the 23rd and it's been a wave of emotions and thoughts. Your also hilarious lol "I Love Jesus....Abba! " *head action*
I wanted to know if you actually enjoy food still? I know hormones change and even food preferences but does it also do anyhing with the taste buds? What about teeth? I have heard some really odd shares from others as well.
I was given omeprazole for month 1 - for stomach acid. No More issues since then. I love iv hydration therapy - Done had 2 sessions since surgery on 02.11.22
"Abbaaahhh" we all so churchy haha
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hi Faye, 🌷You look Amazing!!!
I am 2 years out from the surgery. Can I plz share?
Acid reflex is common with the sleeve so its a good idea to avoid the acid foods like orange juice.
Hair loss happened to me up to a year after surgery.
Energy is telling us to allow more time to heal.
Bariatric vitamins absorb in your new stomach so infusions may not be necessary. B-12 will supply your energy. Walking is the best activity. Hope this all helps! 😙
Thank you!
Mother! Looking gorgeous! Before you 100% commit to reconstructive surgery, look into collagen options for your skin. I don’t know anyone who has had gastric bypass, but i do know a ton of people with significant weight loss who incorporate collagen in their diet to help the skin go back to its elastic state. Its starting to become a trend i.e. the Kardashians, but it does work with tightening the skin and giving it a healthy glow. If you start now while continuing to the goal of 180, you may not really need to go through with a 2nd surgery.
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing. I would suggest taking a chewable vit D daily. That will help increase your energy tremendously. Not sure how your GI is doing but taking a probiotic helps to keep things regular and flowing which helps with my energy level too.
Thank you!
Vitamin by and b12
Very interesting information 👍🏾
