1 Week Post-Op Gastric Bypass

[@faithkp]

Thanks Katie! OH, and I have been gradually watching all of your videos.... and that whole baked egg situation that you do looks SCRUMPTIOUS!!! I can't wait for my soft foods stage so I can try it!!

[@mrgranda]

A great gift to your parents and yourself would be is gather pictures of your mom and dad before you were born and throughout her pregnancy and your childhood all the way up until now that shows how you've grown into such a lovely lady then put it to a favorite song...that would be so special and it would show how much you care because it's from your heart. Now onto your new beginnings, I just found your videos and think that you are so beautiful and can't wait to see you blossom. ~Mandy

This was awesome! I did my 1 week post op video today and it felt so good. So far I lost 14 pounds since last Thursday and it's incredible! It was beautiful what you said about your parents! Look forward to more videos!

Congrats on the weight loss. My surgery is May 1st! Excited and a little nervous

[@GypsyMamaX2]

First of all, welcome back!! You look GREAT... and CONGRATS on the loss... secondly, maybe you do something like a video with you, your son and your boyfriend, each with their own reasons for thanking them for the wonderful gift they gave you.. It would be something they could keep and watch forever and not to mention, see your progress from where you started... Just a suggestion, but I hope you find something and keep the updates coming! Take care!! =) Christy

Congratulations on your surgery date!! It will be here before you know it. Don't freak out. You will do fine, and will be recovering happily and dropping those pounds before you know it!!

aww this video made me cry..i think watching their daughter get healthy is enough to them , but i know how u feel , no my mom isnt paying for surgery but still everything shes done for me i feel like i could never thank her enough

[@MissJanieHere]

loved the pv videos! i was still hungry after surgery, but i was so afraid of hurting my new pouch that it kept me in check. and now, months later if i give myself permission to take a bite, i have realized my tastebuds change and i just dont like that stuff anyways.

[@mjteller]

for some reason i thought i subscribed to you and i was wondering how things were, sorry i havent kept up with you...but glad you came home ok and keep up the good work!

[@pladd04]

YAY! Glad to see you made it home safe and sound. I wouldn't worry, like you said you just have to let your head catch up with the rest of your body. WOW! Awesome weight loss 18 lbs. and 32 lbs. total that's great. Your on the losers bench now congratulations Faith. As for your parents, have you talked to them and expressed how deeply you feel and don't know how to thank them. That would probably be thanks enough. Take it easy while your recovering and best wishes....... Priscilla :-)

Wow, My surgery is May 12th and I am freakng out! you look great though! Amazin, Congrats to you huN!

[@LoseALotCareBear]

*tearing up* I love how much appreciation you felt to your parents for the gift they gave you. What did you end up doing to say "thank you"? Do I have to wait to find out in a future vlog?

[@Faith0623]

I know how you feel about ur parent. i feel the same way about my mom .What i did i send her a post that had all the right word and she love it and cried but i am planning something for her on mother day .i don't know what .but i am think ing about it really good . cause she is the best.

[@SarahWillBeSkinny]

Great Idea! :)

[@kisthysmaybe]

the best gift u can give them is to be healthy....but aside from that i think that the best gifts are always ones we make or create that are from the heart. maybe when u reach goal you could make them a video of pictures of your family from beginning to end and just express at the end how greateful you are for the gift of being able to live a longer fuller life being part of the family because of their wonderful gift....idk...just a suggestion

[@angelm1251]

Congrats on ur weight loss u look good, Your Lucky ur parents helped you, Mine are more interested in going on cruises. I asked if they could guarantor on a personal loan but they wouldn't :( I have to pay for everything myself which is extremely hard as I am on a disability pension (Government payment as I am a paraplegic) all up is going to cost me around AUS$8000 (Insurance + Dr Cost + Anaesthesiologist cost + anything else) and I have a year waiting period (Insurance) before having it done.

[@AmySDMOM]

wow 18 lbs that is great

[@sunnylilme]

Lookin' good mama! I know what you mean about the scale always going up. What are you having for clear liquids? I feel so much more whole now, having seen your lil red toungue:)

[@Angelde21]

The biggest problem with controlling diabetes and weight through diet is the lazy human variable. You can lead a horse to water but cant force them to drink. Most people rather eat pills or shoot insulin than to change their shitty eating habits. We live in an instant gratification society full of people with 0 discipline or work ethic. Sad but true Every one who gets gastric surgery will gain weight its just a matter of time . For those people who are over weight and UN-healthy , you should get this book by Dr. Jason Fung from Toronto Canada his book will cure obesity and type two diabetes . this book help me lose over 84 pounds . Read this book at least two times and follow the fasting ,diet to control insulin ; check it out and read the reviews at amazon ; www.amazon.com/Obesity-Code-Unlocking-Secrets-Weight/dp/1771641258/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1462303576&sr=8-1&keywords=Jason+Fung The more meat and dairy you eat the more fat you eat and alcohol you drink ; The more weight you gain . Fat and alcohol creates more Estrogen in your body ...more Estrogen in the body more weight you gain ...and The more hormone-cancers like breast cancer and prostate cancer.The solution is to eat a plant base organic diet (Vegetarian ) coffee , sweets, beer , junk food , red meat dairy raises your estrogen in the body . Vegetarian diet and exercise will bring down estrogen . life is about the choice you make in life ! alcohol , red meat , dairy & fat equals = estrogen------------more estrogen in your body equals = lots of weight gain Vegetarian plant base diet , no sugar , no alcohol , no coffee , and exercise every day is the solution to lose weight and bring down estrogen . if you're not born with the skinny gene ! than you have only one solution eating low fat healthy diet and exercise .and sleep 9 hours at least , go to bed early so your hormones are not out of control . I you don't get good sleep you will not lose weight . you must fast , and not eat every hour .control your insulin ! You must not use any type of sweetners , no Stevia either , Stevia also raises your insulin and you gain weight ! no sugar no sweeteners ! ZERO !!
