Where are you? How are you doing? I'm just checking on you. 😃

Hello fellow vermonter you are doing great keep on hitting the gym and get your protein....and stay away from the soda!

Omg...I LOVE grits. My grandmother used to make them for me for breakfast when I stayed with her in the summer. Good luck on your journey, I'm excited to see your progress.

Glad you're back to feeling normal! Yay for getting to the gym & getting a personal trainer. Congrats on your success thus far & it's awesome that you wore shorts 😘

You are doing great sister! Your losses have been great! I in these 2 weeks has been zero. Still trying to consume more food and I am working out. I do feel like I am toning up. Kudos for us! You are looking amazballs. Love the collarbones!! I didn't try alcohol but I tried popcorn. Lol never again for now for me. Lol ((Hugs)) about your momma. Your momma is proud of you. It's hard; I know how I get about my daddy. We will grow and it will always hurt. We are strong!

So glad to hear that you are feeling normal. I am preop and often wonder if my whole future will be devoted to food control and weight loss. So focused on getting the surgery now its nice to hear from you that eventually it gets easier. You look really good and your collarbones caught my attention just as you mentioned them! have a great vacay!!

Congrats on the NSV! I am 2 weeks out and going to florida in october. Hoping I can have a few drinks by then!

Congrats on the weight loss and NSV's!!! I hear ya on not enjoying exercise but accountability is key. I just started to make videos if you want to check them out.

I hear from other people that the booze hits your system fast and then leaves it faster once you've had surgery. Great NSV! I don't remember the last time I wore shorts. Collar Bones!!! Yay!!! :)

Yay girl!!! Great losses!!! Glad life is normalizing a bit for you!!! It's good your seeing a personal trainer. Lol! I love that you met your collar bones!!! And woo hoo on the shorts. I'm sure your vitamin D levels will go up i.e. More sun exposure! Haha! Be careful of the drink girl!! You don't want to get going on something else. But def enjoy!!! I love my wine!! Keep going girl!!! Sounds like things are going really well! 💗😘💗😘

Congratulations!👏👏👏👏 You will soon be in Onederland!🙌🎶 Are you going to do a dance in a video for Onederland? Sorry to hear about your mom. I haven't been on a bike in years besides my stationary but I want to go bike riding after some weight loss. Wow are you telling me you never wore shorts? 😕

Congrats on that big loss! Hopefully you'll have some more of them. Have a good time on your trip and don't worry too much about your food. Might be a good idea to look into the protein shakes though. Have fun!

You are doing amazing!!! Such an excellent loss!!! Have a great trip!!! Don't take that scale in my opinion. Enjoy yourself!!! You can always get back on track when you get back!!!💗💗💗

Great loss sister👍 good luck on ur trip 😉

Yayyyy for a big loss!

Congratulations on that loss!👏👏👏 You look good and seem to be doing great! You'll soon be in Onederland!💟 Yay👏👏👏, will you do a video and dance?😀 Have you been taking any body pics?

Awesome video and your weight loss is amazing girl, you are killing it🎉🎉🎉

Sounds like things are going great for you! So happy for you!😀

you're doing great girl and you're glowing!!

25 pounds loss is really good. I have not been on birth control pills in over a decade, I remember how horrible I felt. Chicken works better than fish for me. I just tried pickles for the first time, it was so good lol. You are doing great with keeping track of all the new foods that you are trying. Keep going girl! You are doing great

Hey sweets, you are doing so well, Keep up the hard work. Now I want some pickles, lol.

Seems like you're doing great! Hormones are cray cray!!! I had wanted RNY for the same reason as you but ended up sleeved. Oh well it's still working. I do have to be careful though!!! Glad things are going well!!! 💗😘💗😘🌈🦄

You are doing great. If all us WLSers live to our 90's then I say the surgery did its job. I predict a bigger loss for you next week chica! xo di

Hey beautiful! You're looking great ❣I still need to buy some large pickle spears so I can wrap them with deli meat & cheese for a meal/snack!

I'm glad you're doing well with your weight loss. Wow I can't believe the lady in hospice had WLS in the 70s that's good and to live past age 90. That is why I'm having WLS to prolong my life. Are you feeling full with 800 calories daily?

Hey Ondrea! I am just now able to catch up on everyone's videos. You are looking great girl! I understand the apprehension to try new foods after having a not so good experience with something. Do you use myfitness pal? Maybe keeping a food diary of the new things that you are trying will help. Doing these videos really help me with anxiety. Congrats on the loss too!

Hi there, new subscriber here, I'm just waiting for a surgery date..I'm looking forward to following your journey :-)

Looks like you're doing well! Congrats on the loss so far. As far as chicken I'm 5.5 wks post op & am able to eat grilled chicken breast with no problems. Actually, I'm not having any problems with any of the foods I've tried except for cream of mushroom soup once. Good luck with figuring out what works for you.

Keep trying the different foods. As the swelling goes down, things will sit much better with you!! Try it very slowly. Tiny bites. Chew really well. I have to wait an hour after I eat and even that is sometimes too soon to drink. The hormones go up anyway with weight loss because of hormones released from the fat as its lost. Hang in there. It all gets better!! All of it! This is short term!! 😘💗😘💗

Your hair looks so cute!

When said release already for all foods, I would have the same reaction. I say listen to yourself and taking it easy and meeting your water and protein you'll do well. I think we get also more sensitive to foods so we need to find works for us. I love exercise but I thinking finding what you enjoy will help you. You got this! I have heard people have breakouts with birth control and I have hear that it's subsides too. Clothes!!! Yup I feel the same. Some seem to fit and some seem too big but I kept a lot my old clothes when I was 20#s lighter than now so I been trying to fit into those. Can't wait. Winter!!! I can't wait!!! Chicken I can eat…cooking in the crockpot is great and easy! It does keep it most! You always add some broth when you eat it and microwave it a bit with a lid on it and shake it and it will help absorb the broth. Hope that helps! You are doing awesome and keep up my friend! ((Hugs))

Your doing great!

Well, I think you are looking great! There are always going to be those bumps along the way. Soon you'll be past those and on to others, so patience I guess.. My suggestion for moist chicken is to brine it. That's the best way I think to keep it moist, especially the white meat. Good luck!😀

I'm loving the hair doll!!! Wonderful loss🙂🙂🙂

Congratulations on your loss!!👏👏👏 You look nice and happy! Your friend lives in VA have you ever been there? VA is near me 😁. I hope to meet you one day.🙌 Are you feeling still full when you eat? It seems scary when weight loss people say food seems to not go down. I know everyone always talking about things changed with foods. Have you tried anything extra soft or mashed like chicken baked or rotisserie, or possible cook it slow in a slow cooker use some water or chicken broth to make it extra soft and moist. I saw in a Chinese restaurant Carryout a small diet section that had no msg, steamed chicken, veggies,etc. I said I'm going to try it to see if I might want it much later or diet food for me not to eat greasy Chinese. I think any pounds lost is good! 👍

Congrats on the loss! Your hair cut is cute. I am sorry food isn't going down well and making u feel that way. I hope you find somethings that work for you! ♡

The exhaustion will eventually subside. Little things can tire you out but you have to remember your body is going through a major change. You are doing well! Keep it up!

You are doing amazing. Great loss. <3

My friends say the exact same things to me. "Oh, once you lose all the weight you are going to have all the guys all over you" like seriously? friends suck sometimes.

congrats on your losses this week sweets, and love that you can use the bigger cuff! yay! Love those NSVs.

Hopefully your energy picks up soon. I'm almost done my 4th post op week and I can tell its increasing 🤗 Keep up the good work!

Sounds like you're overall doing really well!!! Lauren Losing was just talking about the whole laying around thing. She made a great point that the more you lay around the more you want to lay around. That being said, you are still very much in the early recovery stages. But I know when I got up and walked a bit, I began feeling stronger and better. It's a lot of hard work at first. Hopefully you're getting all your water too! Makes a huge difference in how you heal and feel!!! Keep positive!! You've got this! 😘

Glad to see you're doing well. You look good. Congratulations on the loss! 👏👏👏 Each pound loss is a achievement and working towards your goal. You will get your energy back before you know it. 😁 Good luck! 😉
