Enjoy your videos. I had sleeve on 7/8/24 and just started working out a very little amount. Any suggestions for which gym machines to use?
you really dont have so much loose skin and you look good
Thank you Christie! I really appreciate your kind words!🤗
booked in for 6 weeks time. cant wait
Yaaay! It’s gonna be here so fast! 🥳 So happy for you and hope to hear about your progress updates! Let me know if you have any questions, I’m an open book!😉
3 to 6 mile run before the surgery??? I do not believe it! No overweight person can run that distance.
Thank you for your comment. This overweight person did it. In fact, this overweight person also completed two 26.2 mile marathons.☮️
I just had my VSG on 7/30, my desire is to be active, maybe athlete one day. I am up for the 30 day challenge. I plan to start slow, I have a walk pad for those rainy days or too hot, walking will be my choice. I do see the surgeon Tuesday, I will see if I’m cleared. Topics: How to develop an active routine when you haven’t exercised in years. Also, when do you start weight training? Maybe, just overall fitness goal plans. My personal goal, to become more flexible through stretching, etc, and weight training… not crazy stuff but as a 53 year old, I know the importance of building strength, another area I lack. Glad you took time off, but glad you are back!
Congratulations!!!!🤗🎉 Omg, I’m so happy for youuuu! You WILL totally be an athlete! The 30 day challenge is on a slight pause because I recently fell, got a bruised sternum and concussion.🤕 Ugh. Anyhow, excellent job on your plan to use the walk pad when needed!👏 Love the topics! Thank you! It’s a bit challenging to think things through right now so I’ll start creating those when my head is less foggy.😵💫 As for flexibility, it is amazing how bendy we can become with stretching, basic yoga annnnd as the weight comes off. I was never able to bend forward because of my chonky tummy. No matter what, start slow and don’t push yourself too far. Your body is still healing and that takes time.🤗 Thank you so much for watching and looking forward to hearing about your updates!
What a great idea! Love focusing on consistency so everyone can be included. Cheering you on darling!❤🎉
Thank you! Unfortunately that consistency will be on a short pause due to my recent concussion.🤕 I’m totally looking forward to getting back out there once the neurologist gives me the ok!👌☺️
Yeah I got one now. 😢😢. Nah it's fine.
Actually I'm still in the in-between zone where I still have a decent amount of fat in my loose skin to lose. Tucked in pants at my new jobs gonna be weird.
Samesies! My loose skin IS loose but there’s some fat still in it. Over time I became less judgy of my body because it is a work in progress. Tucked in pants will seem weird at first but think of the progress you’ve made!☺️ Maybe look into compression shorts to go under them in the meantime? ✨Sending (((hugs)))!✨
Do you feel like you are getting enough nutrients that will keep you healthy as you age? Also does eating require lots of time…prep and eating…is it difficult to stay busy and eat enough?
Yes, I feel like I’m getting enough nutrients. As a vegetarian, it seems like I have to do a little extra work/research when figuring out what to eat. But it hasn’t been terrible. No excessive meal preps or planning. I just started to build on the food items that work. High protein, low carb, and low sugar. From there, I have fun with what I eat by mixing and matching foods. My annual bloodwork has been great since the surgery too.🥳 So the little bit of research and listening to my body is working….along with the daily supplements!
Thanks so much for sharing!
You are most welcome! Thank youuuu for watching. I’m an open book if you have any questions.☺️
Exactly why I hate this surgery now I don’t feel like a regular person. I was 400 lbs and pre diabetic but wish I had my old stomach back because I’m over gas, having cold sweats because I ate too much soup and or up late and can’t sleep due to feeling hungry. Anywho I know it sounds like complaining but it feels like a nightmare I wish I would wake up and they say it wasn’t done and I know now it has scared me so much that I would change if I had my old stomach back but only one can dream.
Ohhh I’m sorry to hear. Sending (((hugs))) and ✨good vibes✨.
Thank God for this video 😊
Awww, so glad it was helpful!☺️
I am thankful for this post. I am day 21 and recovering slowly and adjusting well. I believe I am moving at my pace. I’m Proud of myself
That’s wonderful to hear!Congratulations to you!🤗🎉 And thank YOU for taking the time to watch and comment. I appreciate and am so proud of you! Sending ✨good vibes ✨ for a smooth journey!

Thank you for sharing… you’re so beautiful!
Thank you so much!🎀Your kind words and support are very much appreciated!☺️
Thank you I needed that do you have any suggestions for meal plan. Your awesome !!❤
You’re most welcome and thank youuuuu for watching!🎉 How far along are you Post-VSG?
Thanks Twinsie for that come to Jesus podcast! Happy Birthday! 🎉
Thank you!!🎉🤩🥳
I do have some problems with puking and and dont feel my blatter, do you had that too?😢
I’ve only vomited when I ate too much sugar. Which is “Dumping”. Other than that, no real issues. And I have always felt my bladder just fine.🤷🏻♀️ Maybe reach out to your physician for a check up and help with those.👩⚕️
I had my vsg surgery in February of this year 2024. I am adjusting. The weight didn't just fall all off like I was expecting it to. But it has been steadily going down. I am on medication for my bipolar depression and I have a sneaky suspicion that that is affecting my progress. Anyway I am proud of how far I've come. I went from my highest weight of 283, did the pre surgery diet and got down to about 266. And after surgery lost wieght very slow and now I am at 241 (June 2024). By the way I have a very short haircut myself, so I just wanna say I think you are a total rockstar and very pretty with your shaved head.
Great information thank you❤
You’re most welcome! Thank youuuu so much for watching!☺️
Me too i say always say fluffy! ❤🎉 May i ask which ethnetisity you have? I am asian too and i am still questioning 🤔🤭🤗
Fluffy is a kind term.😊 I am Hispanic.👍🏼
You also have ice in there oh my what a pro move! ❤ Are you choking every 10-15min skow or fast? (Sorry for my bad english i am not a native english speaker) i also love how they cheered while you getting closer to the finish line. What an awesome video. I wanted to start running to but tbh ive no idea how without pulling something or whats the best terrain for it (i live in the hills) Also congrats to the finish!!❤🎉
Thank you!🎉 I sip water every 10-15 minutes then a mouthful of Electrolit every fourth time. It’s a quick sip while I’m on the move. I don’t stop running while drinking. Some people love trails/hiking. As of now, I prefer road running. Do what makes You happy.☺️ You can always start with a “Couch to 5k” training plan to see if you really enjoy it!🏃🏻♀️😅

Thank you so much for your kindness and support!🤗 lol!😂 Your bf “knows your alive!” My husband will stick a mirror under my nose because I sleep so quiet now.😂 I heard my tummy a lot shortly after surgery but then it calmed down and like a year later when I incorporated my spicy sprinkles, I started hearing it again.🙉

A friend of a friend took up drinking after WLS and gained most of it back
Ohhhh noooo!😳🙈
I think it can be a case of cross addiction, I was aware of this issue before I had my surgery and have chosen to have no alcohol. I don’t miss it at all and I’m really happy to be at my goal weight. I’m a year and a half after surgery x
I’ve just started following you in the last couple weeks and I’m so glad I found you! You are very beneficial. My surgery date is June 3
