My surgeon told me to never chew gum because you swallow air. No gulping of fluids, to use a sippy type cup. So many changes to adapt to. You are doing great.

Great video for me to see as I am just prior to surgery.

So glad I found you. I am on day 1 pre op diet.

You look and sound great! So happy things have gone well so far! 😃 Keep on, keepin' on, girl!

I learn so much from your videos!!

You are looking great. So happy to see that your surgery went well and you are on your way. Wishing you the best success. A good friend uses probiotics to help to keep her regular. If you haven’t found her channel it’s Hasta Cielo y mas and she is a great resource and supporter. 16 lbs is amazing.

Awesome 👏

I am having surgery on the 19th with Dr. Cottom. Watching your channel has answered some of the questions I didn’t think to ask when I went for my pre op appointment. You looking great keep up the good work!

Hi hun i just had gastric bypass. Surgery on February 11, 2020 I also had a drain bulb and staples. Just found your channel.

Glad to hear your doing great. I hear you about those hiccups I was like oh my lawd. Im on soft and pretty much can tolerate guacamole if i smash the avocados myself, I have had a cpl baby spoonfuls of mash, how are you able to get shrimp down. I have hard time trying to get potted meat down. Oh and anything with skin like refried beans I have to make sure there is no skin of beans what soever. I need to work on my protein Love the water bottle I was just going to take a marker and label a water bottle I had to try and keep me on track. I will hopefully do my video tomorrow. since being home from hospital I have felt better but ugh the tightness feeling like swelling inside is horrible feeling but I cant wait till I can be cleared to do more than walking I think that will help. Btw your looking glamorous you can tell on your face def your slimming keep it up girl. 2018 is going to be the year to Rock the whole new you

This gives me hope after two weeks my surgeon lets me eat the foods you can this I’m a week post op and I’m sick of the liquid diet:( my two week post op appt is in a week

Chewing gum has always given me the burps. You are doing great. I have found that as my calories have increased, my weight loss has also gotten better. I very much agree with you on eating healthy and avoiding the simpler carbs. My problem is I was raised on meat, starch and a veggie. My solution is cauliflower taters and rice, zoodles which are much healthier carbs. I have also done the "miracle" noodles but they are a chore to get the funky smell out of them. I do try very hard to keep my carbs under 50 net carbs and do pretty well with that. My advice is to meal plan, that really helps me stay on track.

The tube they pulled out of your side what the crap is that??? That makes me nervous because i am about to have this done in November.

How are you doing today? I'm getting the duodenal switch in November hopefully

Hey Gina how are you ! Well had my surgery Tuesday and yesterday I felt good and today I feel like I just had surgery yesterday! Lol so this may seem like a dumb question but I will ask anyways so here it goes!! So after surgery we still do a 2 weeks pre-op liquid diet until we see our doctor 👨‍⚕️ and I had a VSG DONE ✅! Do you have IG!!
