You are voicing what I am going through. We had surgery around the same time - you were a few weeks after me - and I was 100lbs heavier than you. I am down that 100 lbs and my thought process has gone through some changes similar to what you have diescribed and I am by no means thin yet. But each positive mental achievement has a shadow, dark side that needs to be recognized and dealt with. I was going through a stall recently and actually went back and found your first stall video to watch again to help me cope with it. Thank goodness we have this community to know we are not alone or the only one going through it.

Hey Karen! You have been a big inspiration for my own VSG journey. In December, I was referred by my doctor & as of this week, I just received a call for my first consultation! 🎉 So excited to start this process for my health❤

@karensandiego Год назад

Yayyyyy congratsss 🎉🎉🎉💕💕💕

@savingmoneyunapologetically Год назад

Such positive thoughts and sharing! I just had my VSG surgery on Friday the 13th and went into A-Fib, I am home and doing well thank God. It is kinda hard doing it totally alone but I am staying strong as I can and having this Gem of a channel to turn to has made it even better, I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

@karensandiego Год назад

I’m so sorry you had to go though that ,thank god you’re ok ! 💕✨🙏

I had VSG surgery 12/1/2022, I started following you a short time before. Thanks for your insight it is very helpful, a lot of the topics you bring up in this video I have dealt with, especially the invisible part. Yesterday I spoke up for myself at work, something that has always given me anxiety. In the past I would have just sucked it up and not said anything about what was bothering me. Instead of dealing with the situation I would have just gone home and had some fried chicken or something else yummy to eat in order to comfort myself. Now with my restriction I can't and won't do that. I just take a deep breath and handle the situation.

@drezzydee9905 Год назад

Hey Lynette, if you don't mind me asking, how much weight did you lose? I had my surgery on December 12, and I've been having stalls with my weight

@mogiett09 Год назад

You are such an inspiration and I watch all of your content. My VSG is scheduled for 2/6 and I'm so excited about it. I totally can relate to your comments about being "invisible" in my heavy body and the anxiety of drawing attention. The funny thing is that now that I know I'm going to lose weight, I'm ALREADY more confident and my friends and family tell me it shows. Keep doing what you're doing because you have no idea how impactful your journey has been in the lives of others like me!

Thank you for this video!!! I just started my journey 9/2024. This is so good, I have watched a lot of the physical pros and cons but the mental I need to listen about this too. I suffer from anxiety and social anxiety with some other mental health issues. I have been told I am beautiful I think that I am. What I don't like is the "ohhhh you face is so pretty" ummmm thank you. The unsaid was you're so pretty and would look better if you were smaller. I am in therapy have been for years. I have new therapist who focuses on food addiction so I'm on my way to healing and hope by Feb 2025 I will be much better and fight this demon! Ugggg

Had my duodenal switch on Monday. Going home today, so my journey is starting. Thanks for all the words of encouragement

@livbuthappier Год назад

Omg you're a Gemini too? Everything's making sense loll I knew i related to you😂 your surgery was 6 months before mine so these updates have been so helpful in mapping out my own journey and setting expectations 🥰

@MzRayy2.0 2 месяца назад

These videos has been helping me tremendously as I get ready for VSG surgery ,you have a video for all the questions that has been coming to mind and you put quality into these videos and I very much appreciate each and everyone ❤

@natashajames6620 Год назад

I liked this video within the first 5 minutes and I wish I could like it at least 5 more times! This video was everythinggggg!!! I am currently in my 2nd month of my VSG program so I'm just starting to dive into the different components of the journey. The mental health portion is such a big part that I wish there were more conversations about and your video did exactly that. Thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing your journey with us. I am trying to tackle food addiction now and it is beyond hard, but it is one of the main reasons I decided to consider VSG. I need all the tools I can get, and this definitely confirmed that I should continue to work on the mental health aspect of my weight loss journey way before I get in the operating room. You have definitely gained a new subscriber and I can't wait to see the rest of your videos!

My surgery is in 42 days. PLEASE KEEP POSTING!! #REALLIFEREALWORD

@doloresguerrero6327 Год назад

Hello Karen, what a blessing our Father in heaven bestowed upon you. When I came out of surgery I felt this ugliness lifted and I give God the glory. He saw and heard how I use to talk to me. Things I wouldn't say to my worst enemy. I don't talk to myself that way anymore. I'm only 7 weeks post op and so grateful and excited about what the Lord has instore for me. He's changing me every moment. You look great and you will overcome. God bless. Giving Jesus all the glory.

@casslove5190 Год назад

On point with the addition part!!!!

@alfredadrake4682 Год назад

Karen did you ever consider embroidering or crocheting it’s something to do to help you clear your mind and think about something else that is fun to do. Just a suggestion. I started crocheting again and it helps ❤

@johnniesal7018 Год назад

This video is so encouraging and includes valuable insight from your perspective as a person that has achieved successful weight loss through VSG and how it’s impact is a positive thing for you mentally. I smiled when you talked about how negative comments from people got no reaction from you now where before those comments would have made you pick yourself apart. Another great video for people thinking about trying this method of weight loss. Two thumbs up 👍🏾!!!

@ZhaleKhanom Год назад

You are speaking from my soul! I love your videos and just want to thank you for guiding me to this point (2 weeks post-op) and beyond. Your honesty resonates with me in more ways than I can explain. Thank you and I look forward to following more of your journey.

@nikki5360 Год назад

I am in talks with my Dr’s now about the surgery and you are helping me with things that I need to be doing pre surgery and also thinking about my food addiction. My daughter has been saying o have body dysmorphia for years now and I am honestly now more convinced that I suffer from it.

@karensandiego Год назад

It’s very common !! I had it when I was bigger as well

@nancyh.570 Год назад

@samz396 Год назад

Really like your videos they are motivating me to lose weight. I definitely have a food addiction myself but I'm having to talk to myself as well it actually helps.

@karensandiego Год назад

Thank you !! It helps when you’re able to recognize it and have conversations with your self in moments where you are making choices based on the food addiction 💕💕

@noeliagarcia1785 Год назад

The beating yourself up over eating something minimal. YES. The fear of gaining again has me on a choke hold.

@karensandiego Год назад

Yea it’s cuz we did so much to get here we don’t want to mess it up 😢 but we got this !! 💕

@TonicBlade Год назад

Thank you for adding the positive affects as well :D

@karensandiego Год назад

No problem 😊 it’s definitely not all negative 🥰💕

@DimpledRae Год назад

I can relate soooo much to the disconnect between "recognizing" myself in pictures as a smaller person but yet also not recognizing myself in the pictures of me when I was 80 pounds heavier. And I've not heard anyone speak about it but I had body dystopia when I was larger. I honestly didn't see how much bigger I was than everyone else. For instance, there are bras that I bought for myself 80 pounds ago that can still fit me even though my "girls" have deflated from an H/I to either a DD/DDD (and I mean deflated... SMH... the extra skin is beginning to bother me but I digress).

@melissabarbee4255 Год назад

On point once again. I can relate 100%. thank you, dear 🫂

@karensandiego Год назад

Thank youu 🥰💕

@alexiachavez5900 Год назад

Hey Karen thank you for all the help you give to those of us starting out I feel this video with all of my heart I relate to the food addiction to cope with emotions I'm 4 months p.o and I find my self eatting stuff I shouldn't and then I beat my self up for it I'm down 50 pounds and stalled for 2 weeks because of the snacking I'm sure. Anyway want to show you some love you look amazing 😍 can you do some videos on meal ideas like your daily breakfast lunch and dinner when you get time xo

@MsLeoLuv Год назад

Just wanted to say I’m loving your hair down! ❤

@karensandiego Год назад

Thank you !! I like it too , but if I workout and sweat it’s over for the straight hair 😩

@TheKierraJones Год назад

@@karensandiego yes I know! That’s why I got some crochet braids put in last month. This has been my third week in a row I’ve worked out 3x a week! 🎉🎉🎉 can’t believe I’ll be 10 weeks post op in a few days, come Tuesday.

@heatherk167 Год назад

I can relate to so much of what you said. I knew this tool of VSG would help me to lose weight, but the mental part of it can be really tough in the moment. I've thought I had broken my stomach many times because I had a few bites too many or too fast (paid for it later) I'm still learning and getting better each day.

@deniart2656 Год назад

I’m an introvert too and lord knows I don’t want the attention. I’m awkward asf sooo imma just run away🤷🏾‍♀️🤣. I’m single and ready to act a fool with the mens when I get my new body tho👀🤣

@ddflinn2721 Год назад

I joke with my friends that I can literally be in a room of mirrors and avoid seeing myself

@karensandiego Год назад

That was definitely me before too !!

@venusrodriguez8047 Год назад

I had gastric sleeve in 2011 but I really failed n I really need help getting back to it 😩

@drezzydee9905 Год назад

Hey Karen, I myself have gotten sleeved on December 12, 2022. I'm already dealing with stalls. Is that normal? I just feel like I should be losing more weight
