I actually have a video I made the evening before the surgery, but never posted. Maybe I could make another and put them both on...

I wish I knew how to use the editing software I would combine them and add in before and after pics, too.

I wish I could but I get stage fright and no-one wants to watch me studder while I try to explain my weight loss journey. LOL :blink: I haven't even put any before pics on this site because I never took pics while I was huge, all I got is my work I.D. and when I lose the rest of my weight I will post it for a Before N After. If you got a video on youtube I will look for it, youtube was one of the main encouragement to pursue weight loss surgery.

You Go Girl! :D

I'm thinking about doing it. I should have my surgery next month so I better get started. Have you watched Cecelia Lane's YouTubes? I really enjoyed hers.

Hi Tracylynn,

Yes!!!!!!!! I have thought about doing that as well!!!! I have watched tons of YouTube videos. My favorite are phillytomcat and thebypassman!!! I think I would feel like a real dork but then again I am sure the people that put their videos up felt like a dork too but we didn't think so. Lol

I'm just waiting to hear back from insurance so I can get mine scheduled!!

Lots of luck!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
