My Gurrrl! Faye, your mindset going into this preop was so much like mine. -Choose Gastric bypass, and like you, I still say the best decision of my life. 2017=319 lbs Hypertension, prediates and sleep apnea. All gone now!! Lowest weight-145 lbs, but I never liked that weight. Too thin, and hard to maintain. Current weight is 165-170 lbs which I love. But ,I said I wanted to be a "success " which to then is if you keep the weight off for 5 years. But, here is the key! I still follow the rules, and still today I have excellent restriction: 1. No pop or carbonated beverages 2. No straw 3. I do not eat and drink at the same time-wait 30 minutes between 4. Take all of my vitamins I'm telling you, these have been the keys to my success. Follow the rules!! It's a lifelong journey, keep up the good work. ❤

Hi! Do you mind sharing what vitamins you take?

[@sierra4291]

I was told by my team if I have to choose between food and fluids earlier on to choose fluids so have a protein shake if you’re hungry that way you’re still drinking

Sleeved 1/9/23 down 106lbs

Great video, I'm 19yrs post op gastric bypass and still have restriction. I've kept off 170 it's not the easy way out. By the way i absolutely love the support group on Facebook ❤

[@neeneeearnedthis2923]

So happy to hear. It's hard to find long-term success stories. Thanks for sharing!!

[@patriciawalkine355]

The surgery is a tool. Not a get out of jail card. You still have to put in the work for your weight loss

[@alee7322]

Hey Faye. I’m an OG, I love that you documented your weight loss journey. You kept it real and honest. The good, the bad, and all in between. Even being stagnant and getting a trainer. Other people make it seem like you get the surgery, and without a lot a work, a lot of suffering or a lot of money. They make it seem like you don’t have to change the way and what you eat. That cost money also, in America eating food that is good for you cost much more that the bad food. As always Thank you for being you.

[@FayeInTheCity]

This comment really means a lot to me. Thank you!

[@ivymerritt7577]

I love everything you talk about. I had gastric bypass almost 12 years ago and enjoy hearing about your journey 😊

[@SimplyYesenia]

Your videos have helped me so much one of my subscribers recommended your videos for information. I’ve done all the steps and I’m going to be getting my surgery date soon. I’m so excited but also nervous.

I had my Gallbladder removed 2 years after weight loss surgery.

[@latorrieredd6027]

Enjoyed your video, my sleeve surgery in this Wednesday, 11/22 & one of my concerns is…did your behind go down?

[@AshleyFromBrooklyn]

I’m 6 months post op and yes. Butt and boobs went down a lot! Eat your protein. Good luck with your recovery.

[@neeneeearnedthis2923]

Oh,yes!! Awful and boobs. But, the surgery really improved my quality of life. Don't regret my decision 👌

[@neeneeearnedthis2923]

Hi -2 Flintstone Chewable Vitamins -Vitamin B12- 500 micrograms(not milligrams) -Calcium Citrate( not Carbonate) plus D3 it's the 650mg - 3 times a day Vitamin D3 1, 000 IU and I had to add Magnesium Oxide 400 mg daily Let me know if I can clarify anything

[@neeneeearnedthis2923]

Vitamin B12 500 mcg daily

[@AshleyFromBrooklyn]

What does the magnesium oxide do? I’m 6 months post op

[@neeneeearnedthis2923]

This is only if your Magnesium level is low. I am very sensitive to minor alterations in my electrolytes. It was just a tad bit low, and I was having severe leg cramps. The Magnesium is not in the plan that Bariatrics recommended. Only the others.

[@AshleyFromBrooklyn]

Thank you so so much for explaining
