I finally got the guts to make my first youtube video, I kept putting it off because I did not want to see myself in camera. Let me know what you think!

The only critique I have is that you stop and say "um" too much. :) I've considered making a YouTube video but I'd probably keep it for my family only. not sure I want to put my face on the public forum just yet... :)

Nice job! :)

Thanks for that! I was super nervous LOL.... I decided to post it in hopes it will help other people the way that other peoples videos have helped me. Also part of me wants to be accountable to others, since obviously (because of my past failures) I am not good at being accountable just to myself. Making it for yourself is also a good idea.

Hi! I think it is awesome that you are making youtube videos to keep yourself accountable!! I am also making videos but they are just for myself for now. I may put them up sometime. What is your screen name on youtube? is it the same as your name here? I'd love to follow you through your journey! :)

Commited2Change, I love your nick name! I am also committed (I hope I don't end up committed somewhere else LOL).... My name on youtube is beautyvgsjourney (note is VGS not VSG). Let me know if you decide to share your journey, its a very personal journey but I am using it in a way that will hopefully keep me accountable and hopefully will help others in the future. Thank you for your encouragement!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
