Weigh-In Wednesday| Do I Regret VSG Gastric Sleeve Surgery?? 

We rite here lol trust me I’m 6 days post op and I’m down 12 lbs but it’s a lil tough but like I say I can do all things through Christ Jesus who Strengthens me yessss🙏👍

I never thought anyone could feel what I feel. I never thought anyone could HELP me, but you have in these last few days of me coming across your videos. Thank You so much!

Preach girl!!!! I would eat for no reason at all. I ate and I ate and I ate. It was ridiculous how much food was my friend.

I'm so happy that I found your page. I'm in the process of being cleared for surgery and I'm NERVOUS because I know it is a huge lifestyle change. I fear that I am not mentally strong enough for this process/lifestyle change.

You are refreshing and the braveness you have letting us all in on your weight loss journey. I had gastric banding in May of 2008 and it was the hardest thing just going through it in private. I eventually lost 260 lbs and still doing well. Good luck to you and stay amazing. I succeeded because i have an inert voice that was planted in my brain as a child by my father. I am a princess and I can do anything I want to do. I never realized at almost 500 lbs that i was different than anyone else until my body started hurting from carrying so much extra weight. Keep being a role model for all the people that are watching because most people never hear words of encouragement or believe they are strong enough until they see someone as open and honest as you are.

Totally support you you are a true diamond 💎 your journey vis always band real thank you

Thank you for your honesty. I am 4 weeks post-op from my VSG and I'm having some struggles. Sending lots of positive vibes your way!

Thank you for your transparency!!! I’ll be VSG 4 yrs post op this July and this journey is tons of amazing & life changing moments!! The 1st month I had tons of regrets lol. I luv food and having to change my entire lifestyle can be quite overwhelming. In addition, my social circle we truly enjoyed eating out & having drinks and that was gonna be a difficult hurdle to watch them eat & drink with “regular” tummies and I’m over here with my baby plate of food & 2 sips of drink.like that’s not fun. However for me there were 2 important things that kept me motivated and that is documenting my transformation in every way possible and attending my support group meetings. Once I saw the pounds coming off, regularly working out and all the positive changes in my life my mindset about how I see food is different. I don’t live to eat food but I eat to live!!! The support groups consisted of pre & post off all different weight loss surgeries. Trust when I say they were valuable, real & raw because we were all there to help each other..the good the bad & ugly. It has been huge motivator & learning tool that I’m thankful I’m a part of. I’m glad that you have found options like journaling because this journey isn’t easy emotionally & sometimes physically but it gets easier & a whole lot lot lot lot better!! Keep up the good work and continue to document your journey because RU-vid was a great resource!! I binged watched videos almost daily during my 6 month approval process.

Three weeks postop! I couldn't be happier!! Highly recommend the gastric sleeve. Went to Tijuana and it was awesome!!

Thanks for your honesty it has really motivated me to look at myself and what I’m putting in my body I’m 4 months post op.

Love the rawness you give about this vsg journey. I had vsg surgery February 2nd of this year & I have definitely experienced different emotions when it comes to food. I’ve been through many weight stall & sometimes weight gains due to old habits creeping but today I feel like I’m on the right track & learning to tell myself NO when it comes to cravings. Keep up the awesome work 😁😊

Great segment, Kelsi. Individually, we all have thoughts towards did I do the right think, that is normal and truthful. Yes, most certainly I did the right thing for me. Even in the struggles, trying to stay on task, to succeed in my journey. Just like you, best decision for my life, working daily through ALL my issues. Struggles of food addiction, but I am making it. Thanks again for the encouraging words.🤩

You are just the cutest. I feel the way you have been. No makeup, no fixing of the hair. Not dressing for my size. I have been talking about being put first. Now I realize I have to put myself first. I’m glad you feel better and can recognize when a problem is coming on.

I could not have said this better myself. My regrets come when I want to order the entire Wendys menu and cannot. So what I think is "regret" is just me missing old Sarah. Working on getting past that (also wothout professional heath because thats my business). You look great! 🙂

I love you! You’re so honest and relatable 🥰🥰

Keep the great & raw informative content up please❤️

Oof, that's something I'm worried about. I'm already working on having other coping skills like Journaling. I had my psych eval yesterday and the doctor recommended I get the book "Living With Bariatric Surgery: Managing Your Weight And Your Mind" by Denise Ratcliffe. I ordered it as soon as I got off the zoom call. I'm so happy for your progress!

7 weeks post op today! I love your hair girl. Keep up the great work :)

I am Listening to this on my way to work. Before work, I was going to stop for a breakfast sandwich. I stopped and asked me why do I want it? I am trying to learn to understand my feelings. I haven't had the surgery, but I am being intentional about managing it now. Thank you, for sharing.

Congrats. I journal everyday. It helps a lot. I am starting my journey. You are such an inspiration.

I love watching your videos. Although surgery isn’t for me all your feelings and thoughts I resonate with and it is helping me on my weight loss journey. Thank you for your openness and honesty.

My gosh i feeeeel this struggle so hard, I can definitely relate. Thanks for sharing!

Congratulations!!! That's so awesome!!!

Great video! Looking wonderful and keep pushing forward! Yaaaaaayyyyyy!

I don’t feel as alone and I think I can focus better on the things that count ...weigh measure and prep never regret I promise not to regret a single moment in this journey! Ever ate is a learning curve ❤️💋 you are a inspiration ... thank you for how honest you are... it has a msg of hope I know that this surgery will help make it easier to think more about what goes in ... I am definitely going find a support group!!!

You look lovely and radiating happiness! Thanks for sharing this with us. It is so helpful. Last weigh in May 20th. Almost there. Hopefully surgery in June. ❤❤❤

Excellent Video- I just found your channel ..... you’ve got a new subscriber. I’m a little overweight but a maximum food abuser. Your explanation was like you were telling my story too! Congratulations on your weight loss and thanks for sharing your journey. Blessings to you!

I love your videos and I love you! You rock! Thank you for sharing I am in the process of going to get this surgery so you help me.

Thank you for sharing your journey and congrats on your weight loss🎉🎉🦋 . I had RNY on 4/7 (2wks PO) and it is a process 🙏❤

AND CONGRATULATIONS 👏 🙌 💖

I’m getting VSG May 24, and I can’t wait!!

Your so in tune with you( it’s a process but your willing to experience the process and that inspiring for sure) ... I’ve not had a surgery but with in my own journey of a more mobile body... I’ve discovered taking tablespoons of coconut oil ( yes really) helps satiate me and it removes my strong desire to snack and somehow it relaxes me knowing that I made a better decision to fuel with healthy fat... that’s if you like coconut oil... but anywho cheers to the “eviction “ 👩🏽‍🎨

I am 8 days post op and just want to get 40 oz of water in and I get so full and can barely eat. How long does it take to at least get 64 oz of water and a protein shake in? Good news I am down 18 lbs, 13 of it bcuz of the pre liquid diet.

Hi Kelsi, I’m from Houston and I’m scheduled for surgery 5/15 and the closet I get and the more I research , and see people in my Facebook groups talk about life after VSG, I Worry if I’ll regret my decision to have surgery 😢

SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN A HOBBITS TRACKER WOULD HELP TO ,LOVE YOU'R VIDEOS ❤

You are so beautiful. You are doing so great during your journey. Keep it up.

My surgery date is June 15. I am so nervous. I go back & forth should I do this? I know I need it I have so much Health issues but I’m scared. I ask myself many times could I really let go of food?

Thank you for your time. I am still debating during my 6 month waiting time. I have lupus and I can't find research on the effects, negative or positive, after the procedure. If you or anyone has information please share. June is my follow up and completion of my 6 months!

Wondering should I take 1 week off or 2 weeks. My job is low maintenance on the phone and I can work from home. Doc said 1 week but I think I need 2 to be on the safe side 🤔 lol

hugssss !

I’m in the pipeline to get surgery. Love your videos. Look forward to them. I have a question regarding medications. Do you have trouble taking pills? Do you have to have them cut into smaller pieces or have doctor write Rx to use smaller doses so they are easier to swallow? Do you stretch them out over the day so you are only taking one pill every 2 hours or so? I’m on a bunch of vitamins and a few other meds for my thyroid, fish oil, etc. Frankly I’m worried because some of my pills are pretty large. I have to swallow quite a gulp of water to get them down. God bless you for sharing your journey. No reason to ever apologize for being busy with your life and missing a video! No need at all lady. Xoxo hugs from Pittsburgh.

Hair on fleek sis! You have a link for the hair?

I’m 4 days post op now 👏🏼

You look sooooo beautiful. Keep up the good work.

Thank you and girl look how slim that face is gone boo😍

New Stomach, Old Brain is an Excellent book to read

I just found your video! You made some amazing points, but what stood out to me was the “mindless eating” we do. I started a weight loss journey in December (Not VSG) down 50lbs. But I’m also learning that we DON’T need as much food as we think we do. Stay positive, you’re winning!

How old are you whats ur current weight

VSG was one of the best things I have ever done. I have no regrets

So gorgeous love ya channel

I can’t pounds evicted good one yes girl get it

So after you had surgery how hungry were you? Was is head hunger or real hunger? I’m so scared I’ll regret it

I feel like your face is loosing weight now
