2023 Life Update

[@mayinthehouse]

Omg you're so relatable for me, especially about only being in the body you worked for and wanted for such a short time before getting pregnant. I got pregnant with #4 by surprise just 16 months post op, and i was still trying to get to my goal weight and even during 17 weeks of throwing up i gained 20# right away, i was so sick, had the horrible taste in my mouth after eating, and felt pretty much awful the entire pregnancy yet felt like my appetite was probably like an NFL football player, so definitely stretched my stomach too, and now I'm struggling to lose a single pound and feeling discouraged bc i gained half my weight back and get to lose it all again at age 41 lol! Thanks for being honest and relatable, i loved your content before and i am glad you're not ready to shut the door despite not knowing exactly what content to create, also relate to that! Pregnancy and post partum is so hard, and just because i know that a year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years afterwards is so so so different than that first year after having a baby, (you'd think i would learn by now, 4 kids later lol!) I am stuck in the hard phase where I need my stretchy pants, and i have to dig deep every day and tell myself this stage wont last forever, but being post partum and post vsg is a very lonely and totally unrelatable world so i appreciate knowing im not alone, just needed the internet lol...i dont know any moms in real life who had babies after vsg, hang in there, you got this and I got this, right??? ❤

🥹🥹🥹You’re doing awesome! &ya absolutely hauls just showing the garments& whenever your ready absolutely do try on ones too!! Mom bodies are natural. They’re normal! And social media would love for us to think we are something to hide, but that’s just cause they have to make us think there’s a problem to sell us something we think we need to fix the “problem”. Of course do whatever you’re comfortable with!! 💗💗💗lots of love!!

[@juliaraven5859]

Missed you so much Kat! 💚💚 whatever you are comfortable filming sounds great to me! Been following you since you were still at your parents house 😅 we are most grateful for any content🙏so glad to see you’re here and okay 🌸

[@pam_chan_with_a_fan]

I’m so glad you are back. I started following you when I was going through my vsg journey. And now I am 5 months pregnant so it’s another connection I have with you. Thank you for sharing your story. It makes me feel less lonely. Have a wonderful Christmas with your little family ❤️

[@KaterinaDanielle]

Congratulation's beautiful! You are NOT alone!

[@meredithmennuti1779]

So glad you’re back, also had my first daughter in July a few weeks before you. Would like to see whatever you want to show us, hauls, day in the life or even just a chatting video.

[@realmomtalkwithmelissa]

Girl is so good to see you back! I’m having my BSG on 1/16/24 as long as everything goes through with insurance, and my last two preop appointments I already got my cardiologist, clearance and bloodwork and EKG and dietitian and all that stuff done! I think it is completely normal what you were feeling! I have had three children myself and a miscarriage and I also have two stepchildren full-time so five in the house so it’s a struggle to fit time in for everything. Congrats on your baby!! ❤🎉🎊🎁

[@shearsparkle]

Wooo!! So hype! ❤❤❤

[@patriciahanna681]

I am so happy for you and your hubby. Congrats on your son. Your doing great!! I have gained a lot of weight by drinking and eating at the same time and snacking too many sweets. I have to get back on track. Your so encouraging 😊

[@emilypaul2739]

Congrats to you and your hubby. Thanks for sharing. Do what you want, what makes you feel comfortable and good! Will you share his name? Maybe some baby items you all love? Things like that!❤😊

[@KaterinaDanielle]

Thank you so much! Im making video plans now.

[@sherylforcier4058]

Glad you posted this. I miss your videos. You are like my bariatric daughter. Hope you all have a blessed holiday. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

[@KaterinaDanielle]

You are the sweetest. Happy to be your bariatric daughter. Happy holidays to you too!

[@craftycapricorn1956]

Good to see you back and that everything is going well. Congratulations again on your bundle of joy. I say yes to try on hauls when you are comfortable. Thanks for the update.

[@KaterinaDanielle]

Good to see you in my comment section! I can't thank you enough for all your support thought out the years.

[@janed2031]

Ahh glad your back! I have missed your videos and your humor. Please be kind to yourself it's only been 4 months. My second and last baby is almost 4 years old and my body isn't back to what it used to be but I'm not rushing to "bounce" back 😂. Post whatever you're comfortable with. I'll still watch.

[@KaterinaDanielle]

I so appreciate your support. The bounce back culture is so hard to ignore!

[@ruth31784]

I am so glad you’re back! You look great and congrats on the birth of your baby! You are really brave! 🫶

[@KaterinaDanielle]

Thank you so much love!

[@ramiechurchill8034]

Would love to see hauls with you just showing us or any way that makes you comfortable! Also would love a day in the life or an evening routine . You could also do a thrifting video!

[@kayleyhamilton8619]

I second this!!

[@KaterinaDanielle]

Adding these ideas to the list. Love you girl!

[@KaterinaDanielle]

YOU GOT IT!

[@Ashlie258]

Another great video ❤❤❤ congrats on the birth of your son. Little boys are the best.

[@KaterinaDanielle]

Thank you thank you! Little boys are definitely special.

[@ramiechurchill8034]

I’m so thrilled you are here!!!

[@KaterinaDanielle]

Me too!

[@Lomack.792]

I'm really glad you're doing well! I am going in for an induction on the 30th and I'm nervous AF! I think you said your son's name is Beau... we are also naming our son, Beau!

[@KaterinaDanielle]

You will be ok, I promise! We did name him Beau. So cool that our boys will be name buddies. Good luck. I'll be thinking of you on the 30th.

[@jodiehoehn9695]

Nursery tour? I’d love to see little man’s outfits, you do t have to show him but I’m curious how you dress him because you always dressed super cute. Do what you can, congratulations on your baby !!

[@KaterinaDanielle]

AH! Nursery tour! Great idea. Thank you so so much.

[@savannahwhitney8792]

Missed you!!!! In Feb ill be 2 years post opp and I dropped 230 lbs and poof now I'm 32 weeks pregnant and the weight gain is effing with me bad beacuse I wasn't done with my vsg journey.... how did you cope with the weight gain during pregnancy

[@KaterinaDanielle]

Hi love! Congrats on your pregnancy. The weight gain is so scary during pregnancy, post vsg. The only way I could keep going was just taking it day by day and reminding myself that it's not forever. The pregnancy will end! Shoot me a DM on insta if you ever need anyone to talk to. I'm always here.

[@jade116077]

You’re amazing! Congrats & welcome back! Body dysmorphia does suck Id say I go through seasons with it some days are better than others, our bodies are amazing things though! I also stretched my stomach during pregnancy same thing had to have something in there or constant nausea! Look forward to more content! 🤍 always ready for anything you want to show us 😘 you’re an amazing person keep being you!

[@KaterinaDanielle]

So glad to hear I wasn't the only one with pregnancy stomach stretching. Thank you so much for your kind words and support :)
