Good videos. Real talk, and relatable.

Thanks for the tips! I’m less than two weeks out from surgery so I’m soaking up all the info I can. It’s great to see a new video from you!

That is so nice you can donate blood/plasma, I've tried over 5 times and always rejected:-) (iron and ONCE it was actually ok but the protein was off!) Finally I just gave up. --Once they didn't like my SKIN!!! And this was over a long period of time and in different places I've lived!! It is comical it at this point!

Thank you Gina! So, much help and things I needed to hear! STAY accountable! Got it!

I had to look up “grazing” never heard that term before lol I learned something today

Thanks so much for all the great advice! All of your tips are so practical. It's so good to see another video from you. And you look great!!

Nice to hear from you. Agree with a lot of what you said. I do drink before and after I eat without a problem. I do still track what I eat most of the time. I'm not as anal about it, i.e. when I travel, I just try to eat sensibly. I also still meal plan which helps me stay on track. It does help because I can go back to even before the surgery and say what I ate or what I ate at a particular stage or how many calories I ate and can relate it to what I was losing. I generally only keep healthy food in the house which helps. I still weigh weekly whether I want to or not. I do graze and know that will never change so I graze on cherry tomatoes or similar foods. Gotta eat a lot of cherry tomatoes to gain weight.

I’m 18 months post op I was 356 lbs and now 170 and I’m 5^7... I will admit I do have diet soda sometimes 😬😩I just have to every now and then but I do agree it makes you crave other things ! I love your videos! I just love listening to others advice!

Thx so much for your new video.. I've been following you for a while and this was a big help

Thanks for your advice 👍 very enlightening

Hey Gina had you on my mind praying all is well

Thank you! This has helped. I had the Loop DS on 11-11-19 with Dr. Richard's of BMI UT. Congrats on everything.

Yes! :) I love you. I love your videos. My DS surgery date is 12-10-19. I am watching as many patient videos as I can. It's wonderful how many of you there are doing videos. The information is invaluable. Loved this video and your honesty. I saw your "candy jar buffet" in a past video and was wondering if you still have it set up :)

Such great advice hun...thankyou ❤

We were probably eating like a two or three years old child and that was probably more than enough food most of us

I am a year after surgery and have lost about 95 pounds, I’ve been so frustrated. I don’t drink soda at all. I drink filtered water, and don’t eat junk. I just don’t see how I’m not loosing. I hate to compare myself to others but it’s so hard when people say they’ve lost 70 plus pounds in 2 months! What am I doing? Do I need to just walk and walk? I’ve had bloodwork, nothing is out of whack. I’m just frustrated! I’m happy for the size I am, I was a size 30, now I’m an 14-18, but man it’s just not coming off!

I am not doing well. I am 15 days away from surgery. I am on a 800 calorie diet. I am great all day no issues. Late night hits & I fail hard core! I'm thinking about having someone take my keys & wallet & lock me in my house for the next 2 weeks. Now you said no grazing but how do you get all the liquid & protein shakes down. Like you can only take little sips at a time. How long did it take for you to drink a shake?

Started Pureed Diet Friday Oct 11, 2019. I am not even getting in 3 ozs; but I have gained 2 pounds. Is this normal.
