One Year Surgery Anniversary Update 🥳 | Gastric Bypass | Weight Loss Journey

[@sarahy186]

I am so proud of you. I was your first commenter ever on your channel 😊 I didn't get weight loss surgery because I am so afraid of it. I started at 340 lbs 15 months ago and now I am at 259 lbs 🥳 I still have a lot weight to lose but your updates always cheer me on. You go girl👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Please please please continue with the monthly updates as I’m a month behind you in the journey and it’s so helpful and reassuring to hear that what I’m going through is similar to your experience. Thank you Miss. TL. And well done on everything xxx

[@heatherbaker3903]

My RNY is in nine days. You are an inspiration, thank you for your courage to share so honestly. It's a big help to see someone who has walked the path ahead of me.

[@TrinaLouise]

Thank you so much lovely!! All the best for your surgery and I hope you have a swift and smooth recovery 🥰

[@chrisgriffiths3629]

you look amazing Trina , you have been so transparent showing its truly not the easy route and you have still have to work hard and go through plenty , well done you xxxx

[@essanjay8604]

Wow - has it really been a year? You're looking really healthy - enjoy all the new experiences.

[@darrenwilson7217]

Do what works for you. Don't forget you are doing this for yourself. I am on a weight loss journey myself. I have 6 stone to lose and it seems like an up hill battle at the moment. I have managed to get myself in the right mindset which is the hardest part for me. Once I have the right mindset I don't feel hungry and I can be super strict. I do allow myself an occasional cider or gin and tonic but I am happy with just the one. I am being treated for quite severe anaemia so I am not up to a lot of exercise at the moment. Once that is treated I will hit the rowing machine and exercise bike. That will make a huge difference. Pat yourself on the back for facing your weight issues. Like you my weight reflects my mental state and emotions. Unfortunately once your weight balloons you feel low and it becomes a viscous circle. I think I will have to be brave like you and have counselling to explore why I comfort eat. Thank you for being brave enough to share your journey. I realise how difficult it is to be honest with yourself never mind strangers why you have this problem and how you tackle it. People online can be cruel, sometimes unintentionally so to keep your comments on surprised me. I hope you have more kind people leaving comments. You are a star. With your height and pretty face you can only bloom into a knock out. Best wishes. Wendy

[@ginastannard9614]

Dear Trina , I am so proud of you , you’ve done so well . But not only that , you’ve looked after yourself and shown others that it’s not just an operation , it’s a way of helping you to help yourself . Good luck with the rest of your life , you so deserve it . Hopefully now you will feel as beautiful on the inside as you have always seemed on the outside ❤❤

[@DoraTheExplora50]

I'm so proud of you ✋

[@RachyNoodleNest]

Amazing Trina!!! You’ve lost an average of 9.6lb a month. That’s incredible. Well done you.

[@onepotmakesplenty]

You look incredible. You're such a pretty person, both inside and out. Well done!

[@karenmacneil3678]

I've been watching your videos for a few years and I just love the changes in you. Of course, with this surgery, there have been physical changes but the emotional changes, the increased confidence, and the willingness to try new things, have all been amazing to watch. You've grown so much over the years, I just love watching you. Keep on growing and you'll be unstoppable. As for future updates, personally, I feel that an update every once in awhile would be enough, maybe every 3 months. However, I'm not on the same journey (i.e. I have not had weight-loss surgery) so maybe others want more frequent updates.

[@tanyajarrettvogt7383]

Yes, please continue to do monthly updates! It really helps us to follow your progress too!! Congratulations!!!

[@littlesteph777]

Watching the clips at the beginning blew me away.... the physical difference between a year ago and today is just insane! You have done so well and should be really proud of your acheivements, not just the weight loss but everything thats come with it. Good for you Trina! Maybe you could do every 2 months for a while and see how it goes. You might find you want to go back to every month or you might find you wanna leave it longer between updates. Its about you and what works best for you and your journey and what you get out of the updates. Proud of you 💙

[@Zombeh030]

I had sleeve surgery done 12/01/23 so I'm about 32 days post OP. I've lost 38 lbs, and I'm feeling just like you described. I'm so worried about a plateau. And my metabolism is now fully awake. Hungry all the time. Well aside from the last few days. I've been really sick with a sinus infection and it is keeping me feeling full and anything I consume that has a more dense texture than water, it comes back up. It was very interesting to see your 1 year video. I am both nervous and excited for the days ahead. Thank you for sharing and I wish you luck, the journey continues. ☺

[@SLEWS1]

Keep up the good work, Trina! As a 23 year yoga practitioner, imo you did what all yogis should…checked your ego at the door! You will progress, both physically and mentally should you continue on this path. Yoga can be truly life changing 💛💛💛

[@tiffrey761]

Love from the USA. ❤ Thank you for sharing your journey. It is a blessing.

[@rachelnicholas1969]

Hi Trina I’d never seen a clothing try on video before . But you came up on my watch list . You inspired me to wear a dress totally changed my wardrobe from leggings and a t shirt . I’m 53 . I’ve been watching you for probably 18 months now , You look fabulous before and after a unbelievable change good luck for the future xx

[@judevivier153]

You're still doing so very well! No worries, the last of your weight will come off in time because you're still eating well and now really exercising. Do not get discouraged. We've been twinning on our journey and I still have another 70 lbs to lose. It doesn't take away from all the weight you lost and how far you've come. Great job!!!

[@margaretsims4344]

You look amazing! Well done 👍

[@lorrefl7072]

Oh waw, after a year of watching your weight loss videos I kinda forgot where you came from so seeing this montage of the last year blew my mind.

[@BeckyDomeyer]

Hi Trina, I have only just recently found you via instagram to get inspired for outfits as I have also had a gastric bypass in 2016 and have an excess skin apron which is really hard as after all the hard work and coming to make the decision to then have the constant reminder of the excess skin of who I was, is really hard for me. Thanks to the Go love yourself podcast I am trying to get better at accepting myself for who I am and my body shape until I can get the excess skin removal. Try and do the same because then whilst you deal with the emotional side of things you become more grateful for what your body can do and the experiences you can do now compared to pre-op. You're doing amazing, take it at your own pace

[@marymahl4684]

Great job. Monthly updates are good.

[@katiekate803]

Congratulations Trina in your 1 year anniversary. You are a true inspiration and such a positive, lovely person and I share your happiness and success with you ❤❤

[@Janieblueyes]

Well done Trina, so glad you feel emotionally better and physically better. You must be so proud of yourself . Gastric bypass is definitely not the easy way to loose weight . 🐨🥰

[@judevivier153]

Congratulations Trina! You did it!!!! I'm right behind you Sept 16th is my 1 year. I'm still hoping to lose another 80 lbs. 😊

[@liyanam7888]

I am so glad, that you have this beautiful Internet community to support you Tina Louise. Internet is very powerful. I'm sure you now ... ❤❤❤

Massive congratulations to you! You look glowing! On a different note, I adore the dress you are wearing, any possibility of finding out where it from? Thanks.

Wow you've done amazing and you can really tell the difference in the thumbnail photos x

[@nyasharugaresimbi1722]

I'm 8 months post op and I relate to everything especially having to up my calories because I'm hungry and trying to restrict myself because other people are surviving on so much less, it helped my stall so much! but its hard to accept even now!

[@DoraTheExplora50]

You look amazing... great job 👍🤩

[@karenvandenavont7893]

Congratulations Trina ,you should be so proud of yourself ,I am 2 months behind you on my journey and would love if you would continue these videos as they really help me 🎉 Thank you and good luck on the next year

[@teresadavies8795]

Wow!! Well done 👍 you have done amazingly😍😍😍

[@sarahlewis8423]

I had a sleeve 8 years ago was 22 stone now 11 just don't think to much go with the flow has worked and have stayed at the same weight since xx

[@sarahbainbridge8309]

You have done so well, you should be proud! Agree with staying away from the scales, I don't really weigh now, just go by how I feel and how clothes fit. Measurements are my go to tool!

[@HeatherPaulineWeightloss]

Just came across your channel and love you already! Yes upping calories last month I upped my calories from 1000 to 1600-1800 and boom weight loss continued!

[@careybarrett5808]

Wow the difference in you is remarkable. You must feel so proud. Monthly updates would be good so long as you want to do them. I started following your channel as you were one of the very few creating content about the size of clothes i wesr. I do miss that however this is what is best for you and it has been lovely to see the change in you. Also i distinctly remember how proud you were after the long walk on your holiday. Wishing you the very best

[@The_Dandy_Life]

Please keep sharing your journey, I am a couple of months behind you with my surgery date and you've been such an inspiration. My weightloss has also slowed down, like yours. Which is perfectly normal. To find someone brave enough to be so wholesome and honest with their journey at this stage is hugely refreshing. Beyond this 12 month milestone is so important for others to know about, our surgery is for life, its not a race and it evolves with our education, experience and lifestyle changes. We still have our 'tools' to keep on chipping away at the excess weight for years to come...and just to think how we have already extended our lives by many years just by losing the weight we have is wonderful! Thank you Trina, thank you for working so hard at these videos. You really have helped me so much. Love Claire. X

[@kakisrnyjourney5376]

Yes, I want monthly updates- I look forward to them!!

[@kimberlywilliamson4522]

Yes I like the monthly updates. I love that you have reviewed yourself and figured out what you need to do to help yourself regroup. You’ve come so far. Be proud. Keep up the hard work. You got this. Do you ever put lemon in your water? That helps a lot too.

[@stacyc7174]

One of the first videos I watched in January when I found out I may be having surgery later in the year happened to be one of yours~~ I’m now 6weeks post op !! Well done Trina !!! Overjoyed for you:)

[@katrinac469]

Wow what a difference in the weight you lost as of today! YOU look beautiful

[@bridiellewellyn8469]

You have done incredibly well. I would be keen to still see monthly updates, and feel they would be beneficial to you as well. How has your mental health been as you’ve shed the weight? now you are so much lighter every stone you lose in the future will feel like more. good luck x

[@auroragrace9737]

I had gastric sleeve almost 6 months ago and hit a stall. This is very motivating. I know we are all on our own journey, but it helps to see that even with stalls you have continued to move forward.

[@lisamarieoldfield5965]

I’d love you keep seeing the monthly updates! I’m on a weight loss journey myself and I’m currently at 4stone but I have at least 6 stone to go and you motivate me to keep going xx

[@alilsexc]

You're doing amazing!! ❤❤ I encourage you to not give up and be proud of you. You're changing everyday and loving on you!! Thank you for sharing your journey 😊

[@siantowers1243]

You are such an inspiration and I love watching your vlogs.I would love a monthly update to see how you are getting on .xx.

[@85jennyhouston]

Congratulations Trina Louise!!! You should be SO proud of yourself, you look so healthy, confident and contented ❤❤ I really appreciate how honest and realistic you have been throughout this past year. It takes such courage to be so open on an online platform like this with everyone looking on and putting in their commentary!!! I'm sure you are helping so many women out there, we all need to work hard at eating in moderation. I thought your comment on not wanting to be on a diet forever was SO revealing. I'm a UK size 10\ 12 and I feel as though I have been losing and gaining the same 14lbs since I was 16 years old. I find that upping my calorie intake with plenty of fibre and having one treat day in the week stops me from bingeing on crap. I don't think people are honest with their food struggles and it can lead to us feeling like we are the only ones failing. Your surgery was just the starting gun on your marathon and you are doing it the slow and steady way which clearly pays off!! I love watching your monthly updates and sending you goodwill from Scotland 💕💕💕

[@colettemikaelson160]

ive followed your journey all the way through and you can tell you were losing weight but looking back on these clips you really realise just how much you have lost Trina. Just incredible! the surgery helps but all the hard work was down to you, well done.

[@paivix1]

You have gone so far ❤❤ mine weght loss has stopped too now 1 yr since sleeve... i think i have to do some changes too😊 i would love to hear from you like this 2-3 months perlod. Take care fabulous lady you are xxx

[@rebrossiter5583]

Hi lovely 😊, Can I just say congratulations you’ve had an amazing 12 months and I’ve loved joining you every step of the way. Can’t wait for the next 12 months, exciting experiences ahead. Keep posting monthly updates on your journey, you are an inspiration to me. Sending lots of love 💕

[@paulinereid3891]

Love seeing how you get on every month Trinalouise.. I had the same surgery 20th Jan 2023.. So I know how difficult the journey is ... Keep updating monthly, if you feel you can... Love it...keep up the good work and you look great ...x

[@morelle91]

I've been watching your videos for 9 months now, starting when I was considering bariatric surgery. You have done so amazing and come so far and have inspired me. I had my sleeve 12th August and I hope I'm as successful as you! With regards to videos, I love your monthly updates and would like to see them continue. Especially being at the beginning of my journey, I watch these videos for inspiration and I can see how I might look/feel in a years time - I'm the same size and shape as you!

[@danielazerr64]

You are doing amazing!! An inspiration for me!! Please keep doing the updates monthly!

[@Claire-vl3bj]

Thanks for sharing this, Trina:)) showing your before video then now - omg!! You look SO different. Well done you. Some people say weight loss surgery is 'cheating', but you've shown us how much hard work is involved. So, so happy for you💖

[@janejones7638]

Whatever is the most convenient for you. I love hearing your updates because of your honesty. I've been thinking of doing weight-loss surgery for the reason that you did, I'm uncomfortable with my body (not my looks but the physical issues back pain, knee pain, hip pain, etc.)

[@kathyoleary24]

Yes, keep updating us, especially with the new changes that you’ve been making.

You look fabulous. All your hard work is certainly making you happier with life. Thank you for sharing your inspiration

[@amaliagrassi6870]

Great video! Loved the way it started and I could listen to you all night long. You and Becky are kind of ASMR for me! Congratulations on your journey. I found your channel after Becky mentioned it probably about 8 months or so ago, so you'd already had the surgery. It's been fascinating watching your path and I love how you have involved us. I don't mind what you do with the updates but I do perhaps think a quarterly one may be a good idea but whatever works best for you. If you find it inspires you then keep doing monthly ones. Either way, I love watching your vids. Like I say about Becky, I could watch her talking about paint drying and the same goes for you too! Your vids clearly being more interesting than paint drying of course!!! 😅

[@rachelgreet1301]

Well done! You look amazing ❤ I had a gastric sleeve end of Apr nearly 5 stone gone. I'd love you to keep doing your updates on your weight loss journey i find the videos really helpful. Xxx

[@Basic190]

You look fabulous! You have worked so hard for this. Well done!

[@gigilou]

You have done absolutely incredible and looking amazing beaut ❤ Can't believe it's been a year already. I'd love to still see updates on your journey. Thank you for taking us along with you xxx

[@amb163]

You have done AMAZINGLY well! Congratulations! Seeing the difference between your pics before and current is incredible, especially side by side. When it comes to caloric intake, don't forget you are quite TALL for a woman. My 5'3" body will have different needs than your 5'9" body! If you don't eat enough calories, your body thinking it's going into "starvation mode", and won't let you lose weight. So yeah, it may seem counter-intuitive, but reasonably increasing your intake can definitely help!

[@blanning2058]

Holy shit! The transformation is astonishing!!🤯 I thought I had clicked on an old video at 1st. You look absolutely incredible!! I've lost almost 30 lbs in the last 7 months without doing ANYTHING EXCEPT changing my mental health!! I'm staying at my moms with my kids and I'm in a different environment. While I am eating more, I'm also more active. Not like exercising or anything just not sitting on the couch day in and day out. I still eat the same foods and as I said before I am eating more but I'm still steadily losing weight, and I'm not even trying!! I've went from 370 to 348!
