Are you a You Tuber?



Recommended Posts

I personally don't have a vlog and I am pre-op so they are very informative, however, I do love looking at all of the vlogs that I can find on you tube. I have subscribed to all of your channels and I can't wait to follow your journey's and soak up all of your knowledge. Thanks

I added you all! My channel is 641Becca. I don't have many videos due to my crazy busy schedule (plus fitting in daily workouts), but I love the WL community on Youtube! I watched many videos before my surgery. I will try to catch up on everyone's videos as soon as I can. ;)

Can somebody explain Utube to me? I have watched things before when people have sent links to me. I had no idea that certain subjects like WLS

can be grouped together.

how do you do this? You record with your phone and how does it get on to the computer?

What kind of phone do you have? I wont be much help because both my iPhone and our Flip video have a way to select You Tube so it is a no brainer. Having created my channel, I just sign in when they prompt and the uploaded video goes to my channel. You have some things to do like giving them a title, tagging them with descriptive words, etc. It really is easy!

Hopefully someone will chime in with info for you if yours is not an iPhone.

I am really having pfun doing videos and also enjoying all the vlogs of others.

I record with my iPhone 4, and when I'm ready to upload, I sign on to YT, plug in my phone, select upload video, and then click on the computer button, then the iPhone icon and double click and bam it uploads :)

it's a little tricky at first.

With an iPhone (thats what I have too) you can click the arrow that allows emailing and it gives you the option of selecting You Tube so you can load it from your phone. You don't even need a computer! It prompts you to log in, name it, tag it, and select the category (ie blog/people) and voila- a few minutes later it is on You Tube.

So when I go to U tube, how do I find the WLS stories if I don't have a link?

Do a search for vertical sleeve gastrectomy. Also we all do have links in our sigs and once you find one person you will see lots of suggestions for others and next think you know you are wandering from one to another.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
