I started weight training a year ago and have become pretty damn solid, just not small like I thought I'd eventually be.

[@Sp4rksP3ople]

I’m the same height currently 210lbs. I’m looking into doing this procedure. Honestly a size 8 as a dream for me. I wouldn’t take the MBI part too seriously. People’s bodies are built different. Ideally we 5ft peeps are supposed to be 120lb. To me and for ME that is too thin.

[@CandaceDTV]

I love that you mentioned your surgeon removed less of your stomach, than other surgeons may have. I just reached out to my surgeon to see how he would handle this question. This will put me at ease a lot, because I am really afraid of the heartburn/acid reflux.

[@SuzetteRiddick]

I'm so glad you mentioned taking your vitamins is important. I'm a hematology nurse practitioner and I treat a lot of patients with iron deficiency anemia & Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia after they've had gastric bypass surgery. A majority of them admit to not taking their vitamins. Others after the surgery aren't able to properly absorb nutrients. Great video. I've been a long time subscriber and enjoy videos. 🙂

I had both vitamin D and take 50.000 iu vitamin d iron pills all prescription so taking vitamins are very important

My throat is still messed up from surgery bc I had a hitial hernia and my doctor is not as attentive as I would like.... I have been in urgent care twice due to dehydration and now I am losing muscle mass bc it is so hard to eat and I vomit a lot because eating slow is a challenge and I am GRIEVING not being able to eat like I use too..... But everyone including my family is proud of me for taking control and I look healthy and I have no loose skin just a little arm flab that I need to work on and I lost my butt!! So I need to lift and get back in the gym.... But I have been watching Faye since I got home from the hospital!! She is an inspiration❤❤

[@LaShumbraBates]

Watching you has helped me deal with my own VSG journey. I had my surgery on February 29th, 2022. I'm at that point where I am bouncing back and forth from 153 to 158. (That's about 100 lbs lost so far.) I had to stop weighing myself all the time. I can't eat the multigrain bread, it's too dense and heavy on my stomach. It has to be the thin flat rounds sandwich bread or sourdough bread. I used to actually get mad that I never had the dumping issues, or vomiting. I guess I wanted something externally to make me not eat everything that I wanted to eat. But I still have a problem getting my liquids in, but I make sure I always have Gatorade Zero on hand. Thanks for helping me out on my journey. It helped me to not freak out over the perceived setbacks, and know that I am still successful. 😊 One thing that has helped me out is when I might overdo it, I remember you basically saying that you invested too much money in this to allow yourself to fail. Thank goodness I'm cheap. 😅 Next for me is hunting down a hoochie-momma dress. 😜🤪😂😂

I learning every day. I’m 57 years of age when I decided to get my WLS. I’m down 66 pounds since surgery and working on me daily. I went to weight watchers and loss 70 pounds but they changed the program and I started gaining weight again. I’m making sure I stay hydrated and on top of my vitamins daily. I didn’t lose much hair and I’m so grateful for that. Loose I’m start to notice that because I was 320 off and I believe I was between 253-256 day of surgery. My total weight loss all together is 136. My goal weight is 150 as of today 199. I will continued to press on with my weight loss journey. Thanks for sharing your experience with your gastric sleeve journey.

Hey Faye. I came across this video while looking up success stories with Bariatric Sleeve surgery. I really appreciate you for sharing your experience. I can identify and have experienced many of the things you mentioned. I'm 6 months post surgery and I've lost 140 pounds so far. But I started my journey at 493 pounds. And for some reason, pre-surgery I was 6'3" but now, after losing so much weight, I'm measuring 6'4". The only thing I haven't experienced is an increased libido. However, my wife has experienced a drastic increase in libido. 😂 Your before and after pictures are beautiful. I wish you continued success.

I just had my 2 year anniversary with gastric bypass...I was 362 before surgery and got down to 348 before surgery. I got down to 229... I had a hysterectomy in April this year and gained back 25 lbs and its driving me crazy. My eating habits has changed because I developed a ulcer..im now trying to reset and get back to my protein intake

You have come a long way I've been watching you every since you started your Channel and you look good I'm so proud of you keep doing what you doing and keep hanging in there with God

Hello, I recently subscribed to your channel, and I was so happy to see this video this morning ooh my gosh!! My friend just told me she went through process a couple of weeks ago, and I had no idea this video was great ❣❣ I shared it with her today, thank you for sharing we really don't know who we are helping this is great information, and totally love your personality 🥰. Also I want to share about them chicken wings you like I never heard of them before, but you may already know this Cauliflower is your best friend when it comes to chicken wing substitute especially if you season it right. Fresh cauliflower has that right texture you want, and that amazing bite, and chew that mimics chicken. I don't eat much meat simply because I am not a big meat eater, but I came across Aeyesha Curry's Cauliflower Buffalo Wing recipe, and it's amazing!!! I highly recommend using her recipe which is found on Food Network it's called Cauliflower Hot Wings Buttermilk Ranch Dressing Sauce I just made the cauliflower, but used my favorite ranch dressing, and it was a game changer!! You can also make it your own with other spices. 🙂🙂

Thank you!

It’s really wild but good, 1 yr or so out from sleeve surgery and I can eat 1 piece of bread before the main course meal comes at a restaurant and I’m stuffed for 2 hrs still. But at the same time I eat nothing but snacks for a week straight before and still lost 10 lbs. Still learning ins and outs. Went from 234 to 150. 50 more lbs to go 💪🏾. Good luck everyone!

[@RiDarnell_]

You look great! I totally agree with you in most aspects here! I definitely have that mean girl in me and want her gone. Counseling, body training and possible tt! God is good. I definitely want to be taken care of self inside and out! Thank you for this reminder! Take care of you so you can take care of hubby and the baby ❤
