Blogs/Video Diaries



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

My name is Samantha and I am from Connecticut. I officially start my pre-op diet tomorrow and then go in for the sleeve surgery on the 21st which so happens to be my 21st birthday as well!! woohoo, anyways. My mom has convinced me to start a blog to keep track of my progress and since there are not too many people my age who are either getting the surgery or really want to come out and talk about it. I was wondering if there were any young 20 something year old who either keep blogs or video diaries of their stories and wanted to share so I can take a read before, during and after my journey?

If you are interested in taking a read for yourself...here is a link to my blog. there is not much to it right now and there most likely is horrendous spelling and grammar errors in the posts as well!

Have an awesome day and hope all is well in 2015!

Thanks for posting the link to your new blog. I'm looking forward to reading your posts.

I've been watching a twenty-something girl on Youtube and she is fun to watch and has a way of putting what I'm feeling into words. You should check her out.

Tell Clusie L that Frankensleeve sent you! :D

@@joatsaint I was going to suggest Clusie as well. Her vids are great.

@@samantha1458 there are so many other great vloggers on youtube, just search "VSG" or "Sleeve", "Weight Loss Surgery" "WLS" etc, and you will find plenty of people of all age ranges, some just starting their journey, and I really love some who've vlogged their journey for years. :)

I may not be 20something anymore, but I started a blog recently to chronicle my life after DS.... unfortunately the first few months aren't there because I was too sick. If you like feel free to check it out.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
