I've learned from having VSG since 2015 you don't need the toddler plate. You can basically use salad plates which are the same size.

THANK YOU MY SURGERY IS SCHEDULED FOR OCTOBER. I'VE BEEN RESEARCHING ALL OVER THE PLACE. YOU ARE THE FIRST PERSON WHO MENTIONED A SCALE. I PURCHASED ONE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. THIS HAS BEEN A LONG JOURNEY FOR ME 2 YRS. I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS ABOUT THE LIQUID AND PUREE STAGE. YOUR SO REAL THANK YOU. I'M GOING TO FOLLOW YOUR ADVICE.

[@Shy_Smith]

Thank you! I wish you a successful surgery and recovery.

[@meethatswho8463]

Thank you! This was super helpful. My surgery is this Friday (Jan 27, 2023), and I have been slowly preparing for all these food phases. I used to do keto, so to hear you did keto throughout is a great relief. I'll stick to keto for at least the first year (though I know I'll miss mashed potatoes, lol). You look amazing! Thanks again for this.

[@Shy_Smith]

That’s great to hear! Praying that your surgery goes smoothly and you are successful in your journey and recovery!

[@meethatswho8463]

@@Shy_Smith Thank you so much!

[@jessirey4]

Hi @meethatswho8463 congratulations on your surgery! How is it going so far? I’m on day 6 post op, struggling with cravings

[@SophialifeandAdamlife]

What about all the salt/sodium on keto? Do people feel so lousy ?

[@cristallatus]

Update please

[@susanhildreth1531]

I'm in the process of getting approved for gastric bypass surgery. Just need my labs and my psychological evaluation which is on 5/31. I cant get enough of these videos.

[@tinabrooks6771]

OMG out of all the videos I’ve watched ahead of my surgery November 1st, yours have by far been the most informative. I, too, am an older woman and definitely want pointers on how to best eliminate the excess skin after VSG. I’m interested in knowing your workout regimen. I look forward to surgery, though a bit nervous, and look forward to following your journey post VSG. FYI, I’ve sent a follow request on Instagram as well as subscribing to your KZbin channel. Thanks again for the inspiration and congrats on your success after surgery. YOU LOOK AMAZING!!

[@maddiemaysie]

I've been watching lot of videos and reading up ahead of my surgery and I want to say thank you! This video cuts through to the must have and needs around the surgery with no bias or unhelpful opinions. Thank you thank you thank you!

[@filipina0mami]

Did you know on the premier website you can buy a sampler box, it helped me a lot with not over buying flavors I thought I would love post op and ended hating.

[@MarieHolliday]

the fusion protein shakes are great i had my surgery on April 8 2024 helpful information

[@ruthcaldera]

Loved your video!!! Also wanted to share, Tip* The isopure protein powder. Try mixing it with a little cold water in a separate cup first. Then add it to your hot beverage or soup. This will solve the problem :)

[@nikki5360]

Thank you, I like the way you broke things down so I will follow, I am in the approval process, psych appointment, sleep study, esophageal appointment and 1 more weight management consult and then my surgeon will submit to insurance

[@dfordgirl2]

Thank you so much for this video. I was so scared. I could not find any shakes that I vibed with, but your videos have brought me great comfort.

[@hpb1971]

Thank you for sharing this information! It's great and needs to reach more people! My surgery is on March 1st and I'm trying to prep my house for the pre-diet and return home from surgery. Thanks again for taking the time to film this video! 🙂

[@ChBlahbabeh09]

Thank you for this ❤ I just got mine done the 14th of January!

[@Shy_Smith]

Blessings on your journey!

[@kealebogamokate1532]

[@laurieeyebee]

It was very kind of you to make this video. I learned a lot. I haven't even seen the surgeon yet but I'm watching lots of videos.

[@ashleyrichardson2351]

I just want you to know, this video was extremely helpful! My surgery isn’t until next month. After doing a lot of research and trying to get helpful tips pre-op… yours was the most helpful with alot of info given. I subscribed. And I have my list ready! 😊 Thanks again for EVERYTHING! ❤

[@HM-uj6ud]

I've used these containers even before going this route and they really are the best. They hold up in the top or bottom rack of the dishwasher too. No sealing issues and I haven't had any stain either. Definitely worth it.

[@Idolmakercat]

Wow, we sure need a lot of stuff before and after. I am scheduled for surgery Feb. 14, 2024. Your information is very very helpful. It will be a whole new life. I hope i can afford this.

[@missteeinva]

[@katrinashields1012]

Hello, great video. I love the idea of the kids dinnerware the ball in the plates.. I’m officially one month out from VSG surgery and have been using regular dinnerware, but I will definitely be getting some children’s plates and bowls. Also, the vitamin B melts I think I need that as well. Thank you for all the suggestions.

[@Shy_Smith]

Your welcome and toddler plates are a game changer.

[@chopsuey8888]

This video was so thorough and helpful! Thank you for taking the time to make this!

The vitamins. Those hurt my teeth so much And taste terrible

[@chyndb]

Do kinda wish this was shorter cause 38 min it’s a lot

[@lydiakenchen4355]

Which vitamins did you take before your surgery?

[@Shy_Smith]

I take Bariatric Advantage brand. Calcium and daily vitamin also B12 and Vitamin D.

[@sunlight8366]

♥️🙏🏽♥️

[@pwn3426]

jeez, i don't think i can afford to get the bypass.....

[@LakeshiaRosser]

Hi. At what point did you start taking your biotin drops and vital proteins? I have both now and have surgery on May 25th. Trying to see if I can just continue as soon as I get home or if I have to wait ..

[@lydiakenchen4355]

When did you start taking the collagen?

[@Shy_Smith]

I started taking collagen like 5 months after my surgery.

[@lydiakenchen4355]

Thank you for responding. This is very helpful to me ❤️

[@TripOGi100]

You are adorable.

[@Shy_Smith]

Thank you!!❤️

[@SANTABEATZ]

Don't you have to stay away from coffee?

[@Shy_Smith]

I just started drinking coffee last July. I had my surgery last January. However, I only drink decaf.

[@1planningmommy982]

The Keto diet will cause hair loss that could be the reason your hir started shedding

[@lapismosi8065]

I wish I could find a "To the point" list without having to watch these long videos that go on for 40 min.

[@ashsolae2183]

you look 32

[@sandrapatrick1310]

You are the BOMB and ROCK STAR for this vitamin and supplements video. I cannot thank you enough!🎉😃🫶🏻 THANK YOU!

[@Bonitachulax3]

I will be doing gastric sleeve done soon ❤ did you have any complications other than the gas pain after surgery ? I was going to get bariatric surgery in 2012 when my dr offered me it but I backed up I was already in the process of getting it done but I was too scared 🥹 I did my research about bariatric surgery, wls, gastric sleeve and gastric bypass for many years now 😊 so I feel like I’m ready now to get it donee ☺️

[@Shy_Smith]

Prayers for a successful surgery and speedy recovery. No I didn’t have any complications except for the one episode of constipation. I really followed my doctors orders throughout my entire journey.

[@HM-uj6ud]

NOT A BIRD 😂
