Welcome to my channel! My name is Stephanie and this channel is all about my life after my Gastric Bypass surgery. I try to cover everything about my experience to include my personal struggles and triumphs, well-researched videos on topics relevant to bariatric surgery, and general commentary on the bariatric community, weight loss surgery, and breaking free of the diet culture mentality.
I had surgery at Mexico Bariatric Center in Tijuana Mexico with Dr. Rodriguez Lopez on December 1, 2020. My stats are as follows:
Height: 5'4
Starting BMI: 65
Highest Weight: 383.3 lbs.
Starting Weight (pre-op): 374 lbs.
Surgery Weight: 344 lbs.
I have currently lost 175 lbs. and although my weight loss has slowed down significantly, my journey still continues and I learn something new every day. I'm living my best life, healthier and more active than I've ever been, and I'm just getting started.

I woke up at 5AM for 30 days and this is what happened | My Gastric Bypass Journey
มุมมอง 1.8Kปีที่แล้ว
I challenged myself to wake up at 5AM every day in hopes of finding more time in my life. I think it's a human condition, to feel like we struggle with not having enough time in the day to accomplish what we want and to be what we want, let alone to do the things we NEED to do. My hopes were to carve out more time by getting up earlier in the morning, but is that just going to leave me frazzled...

No one really likes to talk about the mental toll that large weight loss comes with. This isn't just about hormones and physical changes; it has to do with deep-rooted emotions and fundamental crucible moments that forged who I was as a person and who I felt I had to be in order to protect myself emotionally, and as those layers peel away and I start to chip away at that, it leaves me in a very...

October was a doozy of a month and not only was it busy, stressful, and absolutely FULL of stuff, it was also an extremely informative and eye-opening month for me.

Why I'm not worried about how much I can eat and my eating habits | My Gastric Bypass Journey

I wanted to give a little insight and background into why I'm not worried about the fact that I can eat sometimes twice as much as I could right after surgery, and why I'm not worried about the fact that I eat more carbs and sugar than a lot of other people I follow in the bariatric community.

Video very helpful. I’m 4 days post op
I still battle this 9 years post op vsg.or SLEEVE SURGERY.
The rush of saliva to the mouth is what happens to me prior to throwing up. And, I think she may be on to something about eating sweets on an empty stomach. Perhaps eating a meal first would help ease the effects of sugar on the tummy?
Thanks for the 11 month update. I’m here for it 😊
Reason number 6,500 while I will just tell people do not get this surgery. Just practice what these people are saying they did before this surgery. This isn’t living we all are different kinds of active. I only think someone should be allowed to have this is they may have got up to 600lbs or more. I’m about 6 weeks out and I know I would take my old stomach back in a heartbeat along with diabetes and other issues and do all I could to eat right. I was very ignorant about food and now I have to have hernia surgeries after I lose the weight. This surgery is not worth it….
I know this is an old video i probably wont het a response. But ive developed anorexia after having yhr sleeve done in 2019. Im 5"2 and 103Ibs. Idk what to do
Are you the surgeon or patient ? I don’t get it lol
34 Oz tumbler * 2 thank you so much and I'm about to go through it.
Straws and carbonation won’t do anything but give gas. I had gastric bypass in 2012. Didn’t touch soda for over 5 years until I got pregnant. Pepsi was my only craving. About 6 months of pregnancy I was drinking a super big gulp everyday with a straw. 12 years after surgery I’ve kept off 200 pounds and can still only eat 4-5 bites of food and I’m full
I know this video has been posted for quite a while, but I just found it. And I'm so grateful that you shared this. I thought no one understood. Thank you ❤
you look amazing! i have my gastric sleeve surgery on September 4th,2024 and my emotions are all over the place. i am currently in day 3 of 16 of my pre op high protein diet and i gotta say its going ok. Thank you for sharing this journey as it really helps me get a better understanding of pretty much everything within the requirements of preparing mentally and physically. Again, thank you, this video gives me the motivation i really needed to keep going.I cant wait to see myself a year from now :)
Then why would the surgeon tell you to buy Gas x to have on hand after surgery? What are you basing your information on? Your experience or actual medical knowledge?
Great video thanku for making it 🎉❤
I felt the same wanted to eat everything
I just had my surgery two days ago I can’t even focus on eating at all! I’m struggling with pain management, trying to sip protein shakes and IV water
One day at a time - you've got this! It definitely gets easier, but right after surgery can be tough.
You are so smart and articulate and I am so glad I found your channel. I have set up my initial consult and I am so super emotional about it. I've been working with my primary for about 2 years now just trying different ways to get my BMI down, with no real results. Calorie restriction, low carb high protein, Contrave. Nothing.Works. She finally talked me into going to the bariatric center and I am super struggling with it. I think number one, is the mental game. Watching your videos is helping me understand that this isn't going to be a "get the surgery" do the work and you'll be fine. It is a journey, it will continue to be a struggle. That makes me sad....and mad. But, at least I know I am not alone. Anyway, thank you for your videos. I appreciate you.
I wished i got all the way up to 2 days before my surgery
Ha! You’re the first person I’ve heard who said goal weight is arbitrary. My nutritionist said what weight do you want to be? I said 160. That then became my goal weight! I could have said any number.
Kaiser told us no coffee because it can cause ulcers according to them. This makes me so sad because I’m a big coffee person. I was told that decaf is ok.
Did you get the GB, sleeve, SAD-I, or...? I ask because I too want the inability to ever find myself binging again. Thank you so much!
"Don't worry about the mirror, baaby!" 😂😂😂 I so get you! And I love that you share it all!❤
Love your facial expressions when you're amused with you! It's awesome and animated and so me!!!
The more I listen to these the more I believe you are my long lost twin!!! 😂 Thank you for this blog. I'm pre-surgery, and am finding your blog the most helpful and mentally/emotionally comforting. Can't wait to watch the next few years of your journey!❤❤❤
Had a question regarding when you start to Eat, i.e your butter chicken with vegies and rice and you cant finish it, hownlong does it take for you to return back to eating the portion you couldnt finish??
Super helpful! Thank you!
I'm
I had WLS 10 years ago in 2014 of feb. I have been seeing a therapist I have a major eating disorder. Anorexia. I was bulimia and anorexia as a teen and thought it went away. Until after my surgery. Thank you for sharing this. I don't feel alone. I also love cooking huge meals for others and watching people eat. I find it creepy that I do this.
This is me too and idk what to do I'm NEVER hungry like mentally I hate eating
I’m 4 years out and still cannot drink water
Ugh. I've always had to walk to the OR. Would it kill them to knock me out a little first? They always tell me that the mask is just O2 but i don't believe them. Because it's always the last thing i remember.
The gasx one KILLS me.
I like how everyone wants to get surgery rather than working on losing weight. Everyone that gets the surgery done anyhow dies
They die within 10 to 15 years later
Gasx was life saver
I am struggling with water intake 😢
That team of aftercare you are talking about in the US is FOREIGN to many. And as a woman of color I wonder if that's why. At 48 years old I have never had the level of aftercare that you speak of here in the US and I was born and raised here. Most of my aftercare has been on me following up. I mean my PCP takes good care of me but she is a woman of color also. I have not seen the level of care you speak of with non-people of color... But I'm glad you've had such great experiences with them.
Thank you for these videos I had gastric bypass 4 days ago
Do what the surgeon says or DON'T GET THE SURGERY... PERIOD!!!
I was gonna say something similar
I’m glad you mentioned you are not a doctor-because much of this is just plain misinformation. 1. Carbonation-wrong. In one breath you talk about how it won’t stretch your stomach. In the next, you talk about “skin being like a balloon”. Carbonation will make you nauseous, yes-but there’s a reason there is a gastric sleeve procedure. It REDUCES the size of the stomach-that in obese individuals is larger than most. Why would you want to take the chance to go back to that? I have a friend who had gastric sleeve-and she eventually went back to her normal eating habits-to include diet soda. She can now eat large amounts of food-again-and gained all the weight back. 2. Straws-introduce gas into the stomach-displacing room for good nourishing food. Period. 3. Gas pains-surgeons don’t fill your body cavity with “air”. It’s CO2-carbon dioxide. I’m not a doctor either. But I would suggest to people who have had surgery or are contemplating it to LISTEN TO YOUR DOCTORS. This woman is doing exactly what she says she’s trying to debunk: “social media claims”.

Omg... you are really little now... how much have u lost total... man you are so beautiful. I justvhad mine 15 days ago... I have been following you .. well I found u and have been watching u since... ❤❤ congrats
Do they cover the psychological side of the surgery? My daughter actually said she was in mourning for the loss of her relationship with her comfort foods. They also neglected to explain that her body would reject certain foods that she shouldnt have had problems with. Long story short, food became her enemy and she became anorexic. These weight loss clinics overlook the psychological side of weight loss and only concern themselves with the end results.
How you keep your hair long and not falling off
That is SO COOL that you have ducks and they give you eggs!!! That is new to me, and I just find it so cool :)
I love the Canadian boarder but the Mexican boarder is another story .. lol
Thank you for your info I’m going y do my surgery soon I’m scare but people like you encourage me to do it and not to lose more time ❤️
My question is, does your stomach rebel if you eat the wrong thing? If you'd eaten the Reese biscuits or bread, would you have got dumping syndrome? A long as you're not gaining, isn't that the purpose. I know the head hunger is a real challenge but I was hoping the stomach would deal with it, if one gave in. I'm doing an extreme keto to shrink my liver for my bypass next week. I'm 70 so hopefully this will see me fall naturally into the old person non hunger, content with a sandwich or soup mentality that most end up with when heading into their 80's. I've struggled with every diet including the lapband and always regained more than I've lost. What a vicious cycle we live. I asked my skinny surgeon if he'd ever had hunger and or thinking of food all day long, and he said he'd experienced it once about a decade ago. Sigh!
Do you realize how much the Xarelto costs in the USA? $137 for all those meds including the Xarelto is a deal. My co-pay for Xarelto for a month is almost that much. Thanks for the details on the surgery.
I love your channel! Just had bypass 2 days ago! Plan on following you through 3 yrs💖💖😳
You make informed, intelligent content. A breath of fresh air in a universe where there is so much quack info out there. Thank you!
This is a very helpful video! I appreciate it so much. I wasn't sure if I was having dumping or not. I had a revision in April 2024 from lap band to gastric bypass. I was used to the sniffles and plugged nose feeling when I overate but I was able to stop and let the food pass through the band and feel better. After reading the comment about reactive hypoglycemia makes me wonder if I have that. I usually feel light headed when it happens but not always.
