What I REALLY wish I knew before WLS 1.5 Years Post Op | Life After VSG  

Yesssss! I can relate to the comparing. I had to get off those fb “support” groups bc I couldn’t stand to see one more Karen telling me she’s 5 years out and only eats 4 bites of a meal. Other things I wish I knew: people will have no problem talking about your weight loss (good or bad), you don’t feel like u fit in with the skinny girls or big girls, everything gets jiggly, if you don’t eat right you will feel like death, and you will be in denial about your weight loss and continue trying to buy Clothing that is too large for you

I can absolutely relate to everything you've said. Especially judging others, I am ashamed to say I have become Fat Phobic since I've lost weight. It's not so much about them, it's about the fear of being fat again. I'm working on doing better and trying not to judge. 😔

OMGSSSSSSSS, this video hit home, sis! This is literally me right now. I'm 7 months p/o, 51lbs down so far. When they say journey, it definitely is!!!

Everything you have said in this video is spot on! I still feel like I’m the big girl.

All I can say is thank you. Thank you for keeping it real. I'm 100% sure that I'm gonna have the surgery because of you keeping it real. Thank you so much for this video. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Your confidence and hair is everything

As always this is another great video. I think that it is important that we who are 1 year or more post op continue to share our journey. The good, bad, and ugly!! You never know who it may help.

I love your videos. I have learned a great deal from your videos. Whether a person has had surgery or not your videos provide a lot of information.

GREAT video. I am almost seven months out and FEEL all this! I am struggling with my husband's eating habits. They are aweful and as much as I try not to criticize it is soooooooo hard I don't want him to have all these health problems the food is causing. He won't hear me. I want to just be fine with it. But I love him. I see other overweight people and feel sorry for them too knowing how it felt to feel like I was smothering couldn't move.

I needed this! These are all my fears! My surgery is 6-14-23 I’m 260 and my projected weight to lose is 118 to 120 lbs. I havent been In the 140’s since high school 😱

💯 I literally started watching you before I had my VSG and now I’m 20 mos PO and I’m relating sooooo much to your journey ! I just got my Rx #pharmaceutical weight loss today so I am hopeful the new tool will help get me actually reach my first goal of wonderland! TY for sharing bc if it weren’t for YOU …. I wouldn’t be still trying to meet my goal! 🙏🏼

You’re inspirational I follow you on insta and love listening to all your videos I wish we were friends you have amazing energy and so positive x keep being you

Al through mood in my mid 35 to 55, before I had gastric surgery, I was a crazy women about 7 days a month. My doc tried antidepressants. Age 56ish I was able to escape my best friend my antidepressant, anti anxiety . Hormones for me send on a rainbow of emotions from happiest to exhaustion and deepest depression . At 58 and 1.5 years post RNY very happy down to 170lbs from 255 lbs. goal 155 but relatively satisfied and could happily maintain this weight with satisfaction. So much healthier and happier in this stage of life. Best of luck to those who seek this lifestyle. Remember, don’t let your hormones rule your reality of emotions. Take a deep breath and adky

Really pleased I found your channel I've watched quite a few.

You are so beautiful truly I am a fan please do not change anything about yourself

God knew I needed to find you

Great video! I hope your journey is still going well!

My hormones were SO BAD from month one post op to 5 months

Hey sis I have a question? If an when you did stall how long was your stall and what did you do to overcome it?

I love your videos. ❤❤❤❤

Hey Kelsey. I just got vsg a little over a year ago. I have similar stats to you and relate to you in so many ways. I was wondering if you have any experience related to this.. i have 2 friends who are looking to do some type of biatric surgery but both of them are between 210-220lbs. It honestly annoys me so much that they would even consider the surgery for that weight because that’s how much I weigh a year later. I got it at around 330lbs… is it selfish of me to feel that way? TIA ❤️

❤❤❤

Great seeing you today! Yes definitely will loose hair! 😎

Ahhwww Im sorry you feel like Food Sucks.. I think my old relationship with food was unhealthy so I am happy for that changing.

I’m 6 1/2 months post op and my hair is not growing 😞😫 this is one downside that I hate

Not everybody goes through these symptoms. It’s not everyone. But it can happen

I lost volume but gained length 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️😂😂
