@carolp4300 I am so happy to hear that. 5 kg is sooo close. I bet you'll be able to reach that by the end of the year. Either way, as long as you're happy and healthy that's all that matters. Thanks for watching ❤❤❤

I am so glad you talk about this topic. I am 16 days post op and really struggling with food thoughts. Prior to surgery, I had a nutritionist that I was seing for over 2 years, she was telling me the same thing. I need to be ok with having those foods and be comfortable with it. But that advice didn’t get me anywhere, just ended up gaining even more weight.

I am in line to have surgery, just went to the introductory session on Monday. I also know, being in Canada, that winter is a hard time to stay active. Intellectually, I know that just dressing for the weather and getting out in it is the best thing to do, but it is harder said than done! I am very interested in your book! Don't lose heart, everyone gets fluffier in the winter!

Thank you for sharing. I’m having a gastric sleeve revision to the bypass due to developing severe acid reflux. I got diagnosed with Barrett’s esophagus which was caused by acid reflux. Surgeon says a revision to gastric bypass will fix it. Pretty nervous. Never wanted another operation but I’m sick of the acid reflux and Barrett’s esophagus. So yes. Nervous. Kinda excited. Also. Just curious. Can you have a beer here and there after bypass? Like a year out? Anyways. Thank you for sharing. My surgery is in a week.

Your hair looks adorable and so healthy! Love the color! Years ago I worked overnight shift and YES…. That can affect your weight….. it is so hard on your body. I am 19 weeks post op RNY and down 65 lbs….l only lose 1-2 lbs a week lately….. I know that is still good, but just thought I would still be losing more each week at this point….. not complaining…. I will take any loss. Just curious - did you have the same experience? When did you notice that your hair loss started to slow down? Thanks for any info….. thanks for another good video. Appreciate you!
@thistothatlife6 ай бұрын
Hi Mary Renee! Congrats on taking the big step! 19 weeks post op is a good place to be. You've gone through all the hard phases and now you're stabilizing. It is completely normal that the weight loss slows down. In fact, I was losing and gaining, and stalling during that period. Make sure you monitor your protein intake and drink enough water. I started to lose the most amount of hair at 4 months post op and it finally slowed down towards 10 months post op. However everyone is different and I also have hypothyroidism which also affects my hair growth... I'd love to learn more about your experience and how you're feeling. Have you found your new "normal" yet? Keep me posted xoxo

Good to see you again! I'm 8 months out from RNY in Guelph. Living close to Goderich Ontario and I'm down 80 pounds from 297. Winter is hard here in Ontario. I've got myself a treadmill (used) to try to keep active during the winter. Seeing your progress is very inspirational and motivating. You look great! LOVE your hair!

I promise you that it gets easier with time. Reach out if you have any questions. Let me know how you're feeling. Sending you lots of positivity :)

On day 6 of my 2 week liquid diet. Allowed 4 shakes a day, 2 cups of broth, 1 cup of raw vegetables and water (allowed tea and coffee but I don’t like neither). It’s going good. I’m a little hungry, but not craving too much. I am very emotional. I have my gastric sleeve surgery April 18th. Kind of scared. Should I be ? lol

Thanks Katherina for another great video. I appreciate all of your advice and telling us about your experience. I like what I am going to call your “Katherina-isms”…… “ it’s not a bad thing, it’s not a good thing…..it’s just a thing” ….. and also…. “Things change in your life and it’s OK.” We need not be so hard on ourselves….. just try to do better today than you did yesterday….it’s a journey. I am 14 weeks PO RNY and down 56 lbs…… one day at a time. 😊

Thanks for your videos. I'm 20 days post op today. I've had my ups and downs, that's for sure. I'm at that weird phase where I can start trying normal food again, but I'm almost scared to. A few things I've tried haven't sat too well. So I'm relying a lot on yogurt, oatmeal and things like that.
@thistothatlife7 ай бұрын
That's exciting ! You're now able to eat "regular" food. You're probably going to be surprised that you're no longer craving foods you used to crave. Take your time reintroducing food. You might react a certain way this week and the next week will be different. I had a hard time with raw onions for a while and now I can eat them without issues. THANK YOU for watching my videos and for commenting. I appreciate your time. Wishing you lots of success on your journey. Stay in touch !

At one year, I hadn't met my goal weight and I was a little disappointed but then I remembered all the things I can do now, like play with my sons and wear clothes from "regular" shops and how I don't have Diabetes anymore and I forgot about my woes :) Keep in touch!
