My surgery is a month away!

Great video. Thank you!!!

Thank you. Appreciate it!

I am 10 years post op - sleeve and even now, I am still having dumping syndrome and I only recently diagnosed myself due to chronic episodes and several doctors sending me down various paths of IBS and Crohns and Colitis. When it has been post op sleeve surgery the entire time. It is absolutely like you will die and I wonder what would happen if I didn’t make it to food. I’ve fainted twice, years ago. But never connected the dots until the episodes began happening now. Weight is currently 180. Was 400 pre op. Lowest has been 172.5. (Late 30s)

Thank you so much for this video! Having my test tomorrow 🥴

Thank you for this video… I’ve also seen that fiber is also critically important… I’m learning from you.

This is the video I have been looking for. Thank you for posting. It truly is a waiting game. I’m hopefully going to have my surgery in September or October.

My daughter is a developmentally delayed young adult who will be having gastric bypass in July, because of digestive abnormalities from a birth defect. She lives with us. I want to provide meals that she will enjoy, that are high protein low sugar, and that the rest of the family will eat too. Sadly, we currently eat the standard American diet and it's a huge jump. I have a huge sweet tooth, Dad is flexible to a point, and little brother is a typical 10 year old with braces. I also work full time. I feel overwhelmed. Any advice?

So how do you help it what can you take if you are having this problem

Thank you for sharing. I am getting this test this upcoming week and I am so scared!!!! I just am not comfortable doing these type of tests.

Yes my go to is the egg Florentine at Costco‘s. They’re in the freezer I believe it may be 12 or 14 in a box. I don’t remember I have to go get more today. I drink the chocolate protein drinks and now I discovered to make protein ice cream and then ninja creamy and it is awesome. Oh my goodness the creami machine is about $200, but you can look it up and see what I’m speaking of but it is like my go to and it has just really fueled my body and I just feel so much better and I’m back on track I have my surgery and 2021 I didn’t. I’m not doing as best as I probably should have even though I’m not extremely bad but I still need to keep working on it. Oh yeah I do buy that granola just put a little bit of my yogurt just like you said, eat it by itself share it with friends, I just love it I found some salami packs at Aldi they sell or they have little bite-size sausage and cheese. The protein ones I use those for snacks and yeah I add protein powder to my oatmeal for breakfast and those are just some of the little things that I do but yes, thank you for your ad. I followed you for several years and you’re always encouraging. Thank you.

You can make protein ice cream in creami by nigi

Keto granola yessssss love it

Hi Erin!!! Have you tried the egg Florentine at Costco. Amazing too

I just started watching you and so far im almost addicted lol.. i just love the information you give and how honest you are about it. I am having my 1st Dr/Nurse visit to talk about everything, starting the process. Im excited for you and your journey and i love seeing how happy you are.

10 pm and struggling to get my last 9 ounces of water.

Hello, so im a little confused because I'm going in for upper GI test and was told not to drink or eat 12 hours before.. i googled what i should expect and all i see is people being put to sleep and putting camera down peoples throat but when i call my doctors office ask asked what should i expected they said i would drink something like a shake and they will take pictures like xrays. Im wondering if this is new technology, or am i just getting someone completely different than everyone else? The receptionist said they wont put any camera inside. So idk.

Wow what insurance company do you have!? Getting you and a companions travel covered is amazing. I have blue cross (blue shield/fepblue) and I’d love to know yours so I can navigate preparing easier! Also- you look SO AMAZING!! You are so inspiring and I can’t wait to change my life as well :) thank you so much for this informative, raw, relatable and inspiring posts!! 🎉💪

When did you notice that you could start drinking/ holding more liquids? After week 1 or before?

I did my research about bariatric surgery, wls, gastric sleeve and gastric bypass for many years now 😊

I have had a set back too! I had a total hysterectomy in July 2022 and I have gained 30 pounds…so frustrating! I mentally am feeling better. I am working on getting refocused and hoping I can lose weight again!

I have had several episodes. The last one was caused by store brand poppy seed dressing that had high fructose corn syrup in it. That one was the worst and I had to go to the hospital because the pain was so bad. Prior to that, I have gotten it from wine and I always get it from pineapple, even in tiny amounts like in bbq sauce. I am 14 years post gastric bypass. The pineapple reactions started prior to my surgery. Ugh... so painful!!

How tall are you?

Come backkkkkk

Excellent video thanks

I get my surgery in three days. I’m not practicing sipping yet and definitely like straws better…I swear I suck more air down sipping than with a straw. I was told to stop all vitamins 2 weeks prior to surgery. It’s nice to listen to what others have gone through. Thanks for sharing! 😊

>has open body surgery for too big >caramel for breakfast

Just stop eating, you don't need to have the operation, it's very bad for you, get willpower stop eating.

I’m having VSG surgery in 3 weeks. I enjoy your videos.

At the start of your video, I noticed that you are wearing layers, and I wondered if you got cold easily. When you went to your closet, I knew you had a problem with cold. If you were trying to hide something, it would be full of a bunch of sweat suits.
