One year out movie I made...



Recommended Posts

I don't know if i am just emotional but i loved your video. It made me want to cry watching your video. :) I have not been banded not for another 5 months or so.

In the beginning, before my band, I would watch these types of videos and just BAWL. For me, seeing the light at the end of the tunnel was an AMAZING feeling. Seeing other people, just like me at the time, succeed really instilled some extra confidence in the journey for me. I am so happy to have been able to share with you before YOUR journey. :)

LOVE IT!!!!!!!

it was so cool, but little too fast so had to keep going back so could read your words

weigh to go girl!!

and that song is the bomb!!

Thanks! I know what you mean about it being a bit quick. I made it in a hurry and meant to go back and edit it out a little longer. Needless to say, THAT never happened, lol. I am glad you enjoyed it though. :)

I am so happy to hear that my video transformation has touched so many. I am also happy to hear about you being newly banded. Looks like you are off to a fabulous start!! Good job! You can totally conquer this. Before you know it, you will be looking back (much like I did when putting together my little movie) with such pride and so much better health. Keep up the good work!!

      tl:dr at bottom,
      I could use some advice. I went to see my dietician today (not a bariatric surgery dietician, I can explain why I am seeing her if you want to know). She knows I am going to have weight loss surgery as long as I hit the goal weight my insurance told me I need to be at. I have to be at the goal weight by June 24, 2023, in order for my insurance to pay for my surgery.
      I had a weigh in the doctor's office a couple of days ago and weighed 301, my scale at home said 302. However, on the same day, the scale at a friend's house said 313. 
      I knew I had this Dietician appointment two days later and I knew she would weigh me. I continued to weigh myself at home (after getting new batteries) and I was at 302 then 299 and today at home I weighed 303, right before my appointment, when I got to her office I was weighed and it said 313.
      I am concerned about what to believe since the doctor's office and my scale show similar numbers. I also bought a new scale today and it said 313. 
      The Dietician told me I needed to eat more protein, which honestly I struggle with. she said I needed 150 grams!!  I said are you kidding? that seems like a lot.  She used my weight to come up with this number. 
      Should I really be trying to eat enough protein for a 300-lb person or should I be eating protein for a goal-weight person (mine is 170)?   
      also, my clothing is loose like I lost the 20 lbs mine and the doctor's scale shows, and not 10 lbs like everyone else's scale shows. Also, I have always naturally been more muscular even when I was 120 lbs and did not eat any protein aside from what is in plants. 
      tl:dr- should I be eating enough protein to support a 300lb person or should I be eating protein for a "normal" sized person? AND should I trust the Doctors scale more so than the Dietician's scale?

        Hi!

        I would love to be your accountability partner. I had the sleeve in 2021, so maybe I can give you some insights.

        Please message me back, looking forward to hearing from you!
