Ozempic weight loss before and after vs Gastric Sleeve: Did Semaglutide Ruin My Hair?

[@user-te8cu3rq8e]

❤thank you for sharing your very personal and vulnerable story with us all!❤️ This information is so helpful! I have many commonalities with you, including body type (down to height and weight) as well as number of children. I feel like I could have written this exact same story about myself. I understand what it’s like to have so much brain power and time wasted on controlling my weight. And your point about the hormone connection with the IUD was exactly true for me as well!! The gatekeepers of peptide drugs such as ozempic would benefit from hearing the perspective you’ve shared here. It’s not “just 25 pounds” or “just 15 pounds”- it’s all the time and emotional energy surrounding our bodies and how we feel. Especially after 4 babies and breast feeding and the toll that takes on our bodies and self image!!Thank you again for doing such a wonderful job of keeping us informed. I love that you research and share all your knowledge and experiences with us! You are- now and always have been-a very beautiful person (inside and out) and I am so happy you’ve found a solution that frees up your time and energy for finding joy in all the ways you choose! 🎉❤

[@SpaandTell]

Oh my dear friend thank you! This was my hope. I know I’m not alone obviously in this battle of the bulge. I’m so happy we relate on so many of the same issues. I think the doctors who are prescribing the compound pharmacy semiglutude get that these 20 lbs can make all the difference for many and that’s the reason I was able to get it. I hope the price comes down as it scales and helps so many 😘

[@lyndeesue5607]

Thanks so much for sharing. Can you share your doctors name. I’m having a hard time finding a doctor.

[@SpaandTell]

@@lyndeesue5607hi all my surgery info about who I used is in this playlist. Watch the first video as I prepare for surgery. That is if you are asking about who did my mommy makeover. It’s Dr green. In the first video I share my quite as well

[@jansmith3158]

You have a beautiful family. PLEASE PLEASE read the paper literature side effects. with this weight loss drugs. Ozempic has side effects including Cancer and death!! sea "australia 60 minutes ozempic death". Take care@@SpaandTell

[@hana6595]

What company do you get the Semiglutite from

[@dominiquelee8514]

your transparency in this video is astounding, thank you...also your hair is beautiful!

[@SpaandTell]

Thank you so much!! I’m so glad you appreciated it 😘

[@MissSilencedogood]

What a gorgeous family.💕 You are so blessed. No one should shame anyone over 25 pounds losses! You said it at 5'2 25 pound is make or break. The weight has no where to go to except out. Also the Ozempic shaming also needs to stop. I think it is a game changers for people prone to pre- diabetes /diabetes through weight gain which is most people. Prevention to keep weight under control is important also to keep from going diabetic or pre-diabetic. Personally I use Berberine 2 times a day which is considered a natural Ozempic. It works slower but it will get you there. I was at 150 my max weight now I am 130. I was plateauing at 145 the weight would not budge. Finally through keto and berberine it helped me lose the weight I have another 15 to go. 115 is my happy place I'm 5'6 but I think it just looks better on me than 120-125. Thank you for sharing your story you are always so honest. One other thing that might help you with your hair journey, try MSM powder. I dye my hair so I have to watch it as my hair grows like a weed on it and I can not keep up with the dye jobs sometimes as that is an all day event. MSM should help you get to where you want to be hair wise fairly quickly. All that said your hair is insane, wow you have a lot of hair I do too but wow you don't even notice any breakage on you. 💕 Don't cut it that would be a shame.

[@SpaandTell]

Thank you so much for your kind comment and congratulations on your weight loss and I will certainly check out MSM sounds like something I need 😘

[@jewelsmelton8653]

Kim, to look at you I would never have thought you faced the battles you did. You are such a strong woman and you give me hope! I haven't faced a weight problem, but since I had my stage 4 cancer treated with Cisplaten, my life has changed. Cisplatin causes advanced aging and until that time everyone had always seen me as much younger. So this has been so hard for me to face. You have shown me that no matter what our obstacles are, we can still take charge of our life's and make improvements. You were beautiful before and you are a strong and beautiful woman now. Thanks for sharing with us and setting a courageous example for us! 😊🤗❤️

[@SpaandTell]

Jewels oh my friend I’m so sorry you went thru cancer! I’m happy to hear you hopefully free from it now. Those drugs are so hard. I have another friend from YT/ig who lives in Hawaii. Young breast cancer in her 20’s and the meds also caused her changes. You ladies are inspirations to me because having your body eaten up by cancer and the drugs to treat it has to be the most difficult concept to accept. Thank you for your compliments and for seeking solutions for yourself. I love feeling free to search out and source what I need and when I share it’s even better that it can connect us in these real issues

[@nancybutler8946]

I am so happy for you. Great job on your journey and you look great. Thank you for sharing

[@Planckepoch592]

Thank you for sharing this. I am in almost the same boat. I am 5’5 and 145 and I have done it ALL and my body fights me tooth and nail to not go below this weight. I understand objectively it’s a normal weight, but I AM NOT COMFORTABLE. I am most comfortable and happy in my skin at around 125. This impacts what I wear, events I go to etc. I feel like I can’t find people in my situation because they are attacked because they are already a normal BMI and their subjective experience is totally disregarded. I just got approved for semaglutide on Monday and I am very optimistic and hopeful that this helps.

[@SpaandTell]

Congratulations 🎊 the SG is going to change your life. It’s seriously magic..all the good noise goes away and you feel powerful about your body rather than feeling trapped 😘

[@judymanriquez3808]

Omg you’re almost like me! I’m 5’4-5’5 and I was stuck at 163lbs which is the heaviest I’ve ever been and I felt so uncomfortable and stopped even going out because I’ve always been smaller and petite. I’ve been on semaglutides from skinnyrx for a month now and I’m almost down to the 140’s again! Just one thing, do not drink alc! I almost ended up in the ER from it, I fainted twice the next day and almost got off them because I was so sick. Since we’re already on the smaller side, you have to remind yourself to EAT, the meds work so good that I can legit go all day with nothing to eat and I feel fine. They will definitely change your life, just do your research and eat healthy, take fiber, vitamins, and lots of protein! 😊 good luck on your journey!

[@tinkytinky9914]

I started Semaglutide about 3-4 weeks ago and have lost about 13 pounds so far where previously I couldn't lose anything. I have an autoimmune disorder that keeps me insulin intolerant. This has been amazing for me but not without its setbacks. My first injection was .25 and I did it in the stomach. I threw up violently for 48 hours straight. Missed 3 days of work. The tiredness and stomach pain was through the roof. I ended up becoming majorly dehydrated and had to go to a wellness center to get one of their vitamin bags through IV. Along with anti nausea and prilosec. Now, I'll also say I should have known this may happen. I am only 5'1 and very small boned overall so I am sensitive to all medications. Even alcohol I cant drink more than 2 drinks or I'll vomit. At first I was devastated. I had my hopes set on this as my solution but with such a violent reaction, I didn't think I could take it. So I waited about 1.5 weeks and did another injection but I altered it a bit: Now I only inject it in my legs, never the stomach. Also I dropped the dose in half and increase it marginally every week and it works great. I also take a Zofran and prilosec 3 hours before my injection. Since doing it this way, I have had NO side affects. Once in a while a wave of nausea will overcome me but its literally like one-two minutes then it's gone. Food is no longer on my mind and that's probably the best part. It's so freeing. Also, I am 5'1 and started at 150 lbs. My goal is 110 which is still high for my natural weight but I am totally happy for that if I can get there. I am also 55 years old. Doesn't help lol And thank you Kim for being so brave with your story. You have helped me tremendously. :) I know it took alot to share your photos but honestly they are inspiring to think where you are now and it can be the same for others on the everlasting weight loss journey.

[@SpaandTell]

Thank you so much! I was very sick in the beginning too. After two injections in the higher concentration I stopped feeling sick. I never used Zofran to help but I know many do. Now that I’m wear I want to be I’m interested in the next phase as I space out further

[@juliaortiz1081]

I got my package Saturday and haven't started yet worried about the side effect but listening to you gave me the confidence to start today lets see how it goes.

[@caralynhunt9895]

I was super nervous about starting, but I love the idea of dropping your dose in half and not taking in the stomach ❤ will talk to my dr asap

[@JackieMoss]

Thank you so much for being honest. I don’t have diabetes and I’m on semiglutude. I list 30 pounds and I lost hair and muscle but I am all for this medication!!!! I gained 95 pounds with my 7 pound twin boys and have been fighting my weight all my life. You are awesome. ❤

[@SpaandTell]

Thank you so much Jackie and congratulations on getting the weight down it’s so hard but this drug has truly helped me

[@diablomom]

I LOVE semaglutide. You must follow some type of meal plan in order to maintain the vitamins and minerals your body needs because otherwise you won’t eat. Another plus, I did not crave alcohol at all.

[@SpaandTell]

Yes it really takes away a lot of desires 😘

[@judymanriquez3808]

I made the mistake of drinking on it and almost landed myself in the hospital the very next day. Fainted twice in my home but thankfully I was able to nurse myself back to health. I’ll tell you what, I’ll never make that mistake again! 😖 (and by drinking I mean 5+ drinks, idiotically I ignored all the risks and found out the hard scary way)

[@Jennyharrisonrealtor]

You are extremely relatable. Thank you for sharing your experiences

[@ninaboeske]

Kim, i can relate! my story is gaining 40lbs first year of menopause. I just turned 57, and during my peak of menopause I caught covid twice. I have heard that hair loss is post-covid trauma. I also went on the carnivore diet, which also triggers hair loss. I have stressed so much over this that it doesn't help. Your video gives me hope.Thank you for having the strength to share your story. This video is going to help so many of us deal with hair loss and weight gain. It's not just about 25 extra pounds. Thank you XOXOXOX❤️

[@SpaandTell]

Thank you so much and I couldn’t agree with you more. It’s not just about 25lbs. And I believe carnivore like semaglutude triggers that metabolic stress even though carnivore is packed full of nutrition you eventually eat less bc the blood sugar is stable so calories dip and that could the hair shed just like with semaglutude. I’m confident my hair will return but it’s going to be a hot mess this next year 😂

[@samye140]

I gained weight after my mommy makeover and couldn’t lose it. My dr checked my c-reactive and found out I was internally inflamed and said if that’s going on you can’t lose weight. So she put me on low dose naltrexone and I lost the weight. I also have hypothyroidism. So taking thyroid meds and getting my internal inflammation under control was a game changer. Thanks for sharing your journey!

[@SpaandTell]

Thank you for this comment. I think you will appreciate next weeks video where I go over my hormones and finding out finally after years of thyroid blood panels telling me I was normal, that I have hashimotos. I started taking HRT two weeks ago and already feel tremendously better

[@JeniLamberto]

Oh my gosh!!!! You are 💯% the closest I have ever come to finding someone with the same journey!!!!!! ✅️✅️✅️✅️✅️ so many similarities and later I am going to fully bullet point. Seriously, this is giving me the best support and validation. I love all of this.....catch you later. 1. Low bmi gastric sleeve in Tijuana 2016 - 186 SW, 5 ft tall 2. Super successful!!!! I loved it and learned so much. Food sensitivities ✅️ , how everything me ✅️ I loved the entire process ✅️ 3. Plastics after weighing in at 121 pounds ✅️ 4. Fast forward....2021 started regain.... 5. Went on vacation July 2022 and had that vacation pic that made me cringe....i was now in the 140s and freaked out at the idea of failure. Weight-loss had given me life. I felt so. much better! I got to work trying to get a hold of my health. 6. Just like the sleeve i did a massive deep five and by August 10th i found out about semaglutide compounds. Fortunately, my amazing doctor had just started prescribing semaglutide as a compound and i went all in. I actually remember telling him in the office that I'm going all in and he said....i know you will. I love his support and rhe support his entire office always gives me. He's so worth a self-pay. Stay tuned...... for the entire semaglutide journey. 🤩

[@SpaandTell]

What dr approved this I need them to get it approved! I watched your mommy makeover playlists best videos for showing my husband what to prepare for. I’m having tummy tuck only on Monday and beyond excited. So thankful for your videos. I need to know how to get ozempic because I have extra bit to lose. Not much but some. Also be careful with extensions they weaken the hair you have left. I also have had lots of hair loss.

[@SpaandTell]

Yay! Thank you! And don’t worry I’m not doing extensions I wouldn’t be able to care for them 😂 I know I’d want to rip them out. I’m so glad it’s helping get your H prepped. I should make a video with Jason that is for the husbands 😂

[@melissarobinson6136]

Yes but how do you get ozempic? Ty

[@lorawest7180]

OMG I almost started crying watching this vlog. You have given me the confidence I need to just take the step for myself. I had gastric bypass and now at 48 all I can do is think about eating. I gained most of my weight back and I'm so uncomfortable carrying it around. I mentioned the shots to my family and they made me feel like crap for wanting it. But YOU you breathe new life into me and I'm sold. Did you go to a clinic or order yours online? Again thank you so much for being vulnerable enough to tell your story. You help so many others when you do. Blessings to you and your beautiful family.

[@SpaandTell]

Thank you!!! You are not alone. I think too many feel shame and then feel stuck. This is your life! You deserve to search out every option to help yourself. People are so weird, they love to throw stones but what I find is when I own it and I share what I’m doing and why. They sit down:) many lack confidence to pursuit what they really want. I’m happy that this resonated and inspired you to get it 😘😘😘

[@rizikikasongo4388]

Go for it darling ❤

[@ElaineTaylor-xr1kx]

Thankyou so much for sharing, I was 248 lbs and have lost 48 lbs, but it took me 2 yrs! So I’ve started using ozempic to help me along, it wasn’t a decision I took lithely, but so glad I did. My food addiction is real, and the once a week injections have really curbed my appetite to the point of sometimes being repulsed by food, and I’m totally fine with that. For the first time in my life(I’m 61) I have control over food, I never ever thought this would be possible. Yes, sometimes I do overindulge, but never to the extent like before, the weight is coming off and I have a renewed sense of hope. Wheather someone has 20 lbs or 200lbs to lose, this drug can help achieve your goals along with a healthy diet and no crazy excersice routines.

[@zainahaddad1127]

Thanks for sharing your story. It's so refreshing when people are open and honest about things. Sometimes social media is such smoke and mirrors you never know what to believe. But you are one creator that has always been so honest and vulnerable, I applaud you for that. Would you be able to share the pharmacy you use and doctor you get your Semaglutide through?

[@SpaandTell]

Thank you so much! My connection for it isn’t replicable. My sister ships it to me and I do the phone call with the doctor. But I did find a site online that ships and does online consultations. I can’t link to pharmacy’s on YT because it’s against community guidelines. DM me on my skin IG account and I can share

I’m such an open book 😂 I don’t mind sharing all the real details…I’m not ashamed of my decisions and I think people who pretend that they didn’t do anything must not feel confident in their decisions.

I'm the same height as you and I also had the gastric sleeve. My surgery was successful, for about 2-3 years. Then the weight started to pile on again. I've been struggling for years with the same 40-50 pounds and it's so frustrating. I just started Semaglutide injections 2 weeks ago. I've lost about 7 lbs and I'm hoping to get to my goal weight by next summer. Thanks for the video. It keeps me feeling positive and motivated!

[@madzika1984]

Kim i got worried when you said your appetite increased after mummy makeover surgery! im planning a BBL and im 40. So that means surgery caused yearly menopause thats why you started gaining weight?

[@SpaandTell]

that was one idea offered, but this was before they found out I had hashimotos disease. This time of our lives can have hormones all over the place so there are many opinions offered. The SG really helped me get leaner and I just did a walk talk about it and what I would have done in tandem kzbin.info7Vk-VlGxCnc

[@seemizaidi-nw1bf]

Once we stop using the injections does that mean we gain weight back? Worried about the hair loss. I love my hair.

[@SpaandTell]

It depends on your body and how much you have to lose and how fast you drop it. Heavier people don’t drop body weight percentage as fast. For instance if you weigh 100 lbs and drop 10 lbs in a month that’s 10% of your body weight. If you weigh 200 and drop 10 lbs that’s only 5% so the metabolic impact is different. The point is to taper off and only inject a few times per year to keep you in control and at your goal weight. The tapering and maintenance situation will depend on you. We are all different. If you get it from a doctor then you speak with them routinely and they help with the taper. If you get it thru research sites then you have to self monitor. Even if you get it from a doctor like me you still have to self monitor because the RX lasts 3 months or longer when you begin to taper

[@joannamills4510]

Oh Kim I have followed you since just prior to covid shutdown. In fact I was meeting you and a big group in Mexico but as you know it was all cancelled. I'm sorry to hear the tough things you have been through but it seems you've found a good weight and I just have to tell you I admire your " pluck".😂 You never give up! You are amazing and so generous to share with total honesty. Thank you. God Bless you and your family and Merry Christmas! Also keep being you❤

[@trishdadish21]

I was just watching Dr Amir Karam’s opinion on ozempic and any type of surgery and how dangerous it is. I think he said there’s already been a death linked. He recommended stopping it at least a month or longer before scheduled surgeries. Made me worry about you. But thank goodness you’re okay. Hair loss is better than death.

[@SpaandTell]

Trish, obviously, death is a very severe outcome, and I think everyone needs to be careful to not fear-monger. More people in this country than anyone realizes are on these peptides for weight loss. The few cases of stomach issues and related deaths are not conclusive. I'm not suggesting Dr. Amir is wrong, Im only suggesting that in this world where people fight for views, polarizing or fear-mongering concepts work, so please take all things with a grain of salt, i try my best to not do this and be real. However, I see this all day, every day, and it really bothers me. People seem to forget about the HUGE Elephant stomping our country to death: OBESITY. More people die every year in this country from being on insulin indefinitely and staying obese. Their quality of life is gone. They simply exist to inject insulin, keeping big pharma rich. Large corporations have too much to lose if the obesity epidemic ends. Some suggest the negative to these peptides is you always need to use them to maintain them; however, what's the alternative if you have a weight issue? stay obese, develop type two diabetes, feel miserable, inject insulin every day, get your feet amputated, and then eventually die. This is the alternative for most in our country. My point is that we need to be very realistic about what we are talking about. 300,000 people die annually in the US from obesity; that is 10% of our society. Therefore, medicine needs to stop following the money (insulin) and start following results. People need to be their own advocates and stop accepting the healthcare scam. The reason these peptides aren't being pushed more and celebrated as the most significant breakthrough in the 21st century is due to the fact that Big Pharma can't find a proprietary factor and, therefore, will not invest the money into the research to make them widely available. I hope this makes sense xoxo

[@trishdadish21]

@@SpaandTell That’s weird, this reply just showed up in my notifications yesterday, but then it says you wrote it two months ago. More sensor-ship? 🙄 My comment was not meant to fear monger, sorry if it came off that way. I was more just sharing that people looking to do planned surgeries while on semaglutide should know they need to be careful because some plastic surgeons are not advising patient of the risks related, because it’s still so new. They might not know of the complication it can have on the body, when surgery is performed. And they are learning that stopping it prior to surgery, for a period of time should be recommended. I’m all for people doing what they feel is right for their own bodies. I agree with the points you make in your reply.

Hi! Nice to meet you i been watching some of your videos lately, love the way you do your videos! So I subscribed, I have a question? Can you loose hair because of a mommy make over? Or any other estetic surgery? And if yes why would that be for?

[@SpaandTell]

Thank you very much:) yes, Surgery can cause hair loss, I’m not sure if it has to do with sheer trauma or the anesthesia but surgery can cause a huge shed. However, like I explained it will grow back, this type of trauma shed typically isn’t permanent

[@LaraHubner]

Thank you so much for this. I too am 5'2" and have a low BMI but just can't shed the last 10 pounds. I have lipedema too, which really doesn't help. I have had several rounds of liposuction chasing the lipedema around my body, and I am heading to Germany to have the last round in November. I have heard such good things about semaglutides helping with lipedema inflammation, but always assumed I was too thin to get hold of any. Your post has given me the confidence to try and find a doctor willing to prescribe it. You look amazing by the way!

[@Zyy452]

Dear Kim, this video resonated so well with me as I had the Mirena IUD installed in 2021 due to adenomyodis which caused me to have heavy and painful bleedings during my period. Since then, It has been a struggle to control my weight and I have sometimes gained excessive weight I.e. upwards of 25 pounds from my desired weight range. As a 41 years old woman, my confidence was at its lowest levels and I felt like no body could help me as my OBGYN only advised me to eat less and move more which I honestly tried but failed woefully. I started using Wegovy (in combination with healthy eating, intermittent fasting and walking) 5 weeks ago and I have lost at least 20 pounds so far without excessive hunger pangs and constantly thinking about food. I will like to stay on the medication a bit longer at least until I find a solution to my hormonal issues. After my next two shots I intend trying to do the injections bi-weekly or longer for weight maintenance. Thanks so much and hey, you have a new subscriber 😊.

Amazing! Thank you very much for sharing this. I can fully relate to feeling like you are doing everything and yet the weight just comes on or you feel stuck. It’s very frustrating. How exciting that you’ve found a solution and aid. These peptides have been incredible for me and in January I’m releasing a video on the peptides I recently ordered and why. I can’t share on here where to get them or how to put them together bc YT terminates channels for sharing that info. So crazy! But I hope my oversharing on what I find and what helps or what doesn’t adds to this conversation. None of this should be hidden from people. I’m so glad you found my channel, welcome 🤗

Thank you so much Debi! I can equally relate even before having kids I felt like I had to restrict a lot to keep my body down in wait. This was before hormones decided to go whack 😂😂 so I truly believe if I hadn’t had children I would have still had to investigate a lot of this because I don’t know what would have happened as I aged 😘

As always, thank you Kim. You gave us so much information and you made some very important points such as intimacy. If anyone criticizes your decisions? Well then should take a hike. Your body, your life. 👏👏👏

[@SpaandTell]

Thank you so much, Nelly. I think initmacy was an important aspect to cover and too many don't put enough emphasis on it. Divorce is obviously rampant in our society for a myriad of reasons, but our relationship was suffering because I was avoiding being connected. Our relationship improved because once the voices in my head of doubt and body frustration faded I could relax and enjoy. It's not right, but I do understand when guys look outside of their relationship when wives avoid intimacy due to self-doubt issues. Human beings require physical and emotional intimacy, and many women are wired in a manner where, following children, these desires change. However, their partners didn't. Jason never looked outside our marriage due to my lack of desire, and he was truly patient. I'm happy to say his patience paid off and we have never been more connected and on the same page. Now, after 16 years of marriage, it feels like we have started the second phase of our marriage with a brand new perspective and desire to stay together. xoxo

Thank you so much Tami! Wow you had quite the surgery! That must have taken a long time to recover from. Could you walk right after? How did you sleep?

[@tamib846]

@@SpaandTell I spent the first night in the surgery center, and had a nurse take care of me ( plastic surgeon also spent the night). Yes, I had to walk before they’d discharge me to home. Once home, I used a walker. It was recommended by my surgeon to get “X-Parel,” in my IV for an extra charge. It turned out to be beneficial, because my blood pressure plummeted post-operatively, and then I was only allowed Tylenol for pain. If you have the option for that drug, I highly recommend getting it. Sleeping was miserable, because I could never get comfortable for too long, even on meds. I slept 2 nights in my recliner, then tried my bed, then two different couches, lol. I finally settled in on one of my couches, and my hubby slept on the other couch. (I’m still uncomfortable rolling over when I sleep at night.) I’m 5 weeks post op today, and I would still do this surgery again, despite the unfortunate problems I’ve had. Thank you.

[@christinechurak7505]

Kim, wow I did not know you the single sleeve in 2017. I did not know they did that for people unless they had more weight to loose. Good for you! Seriously, on a shorter person the weight gain does look very different! I am not tall either, in my 20’s I was always between 115-120 I worked out consistently and ate very healthy, and was also very high energy. have had 3 pregnancies, had two babies. The weight came off after a time with both full term births. I went up to 154 with my daughter at 30, 160 with my son at 35. I am just about 5’3 3/4. Before both my full term pregnancies I started my weight between 120-124 lbs I was in my 30s for both (got pregnant at 34, delivered at 35 after my second baby). I lost weight after a year with my daughter, by diet and a lot (1- 2 1/2 hours a day) of exercise 6 days a week, and eating very healthy. It took me about a year after to get down to 123-124 . I was 30. I could never get lower than that again. I maintained by keeping up this intensity I got pregnant with my son at 34, was 124 went up to 160 a year later was down to 126-128. The problem for me started during the pandemic. I was at a really good place in my head and body in April of 2020. That month we moved (during the pandemic) which was a blessing, as our old house was a very small ranch with only one full bathroom, for 5 people. I have an older bonus daughter as well. So we moved, into a “fixer upper” with plans to do that. Our offer was accepted on our new house March 9 2020. Our house sold when we listed it within a week for the asking price! The buyers asked to move the settlement date up by a month it was supposed to be May 19, 2020. As the deadline neared I took less and less care to take time to move my body, woke out got super stressed with everyone home all the time. The new house needed so much work, we thought to do much of it ourselves, and loved the larger house and the large yard and my dream indoor pool. With the kids home all the time I hyper focused on them and helping them with school work, and trying to be super mom. I had difficulty with my bonus daughter our family was struggling. We had no couch (threw the old away when we moved) ripped all the flooring out at the new house the day after moving in because horrible smells from years of neglect on part of previous owner. That had been planned we didn’t know we would have to order everything on line and the wait times and prices were about to skyrocket for lumber🤷‍♀️ I gained weight off and on for two years. Then December of 2022 my entire family got covid, I stopped taking my estrogen and progesterone (I was peri menopausal since 35 weeks found out within a month of my sons birth). I stopped taking that and all the stress and that caused my to gain a lot of weight. By July of 2023 I was up to my heaviest weight (160). I dieted, exercised, ate no sweets, (I have issues with eating sweets or salty late at night). I felt ashamed of the way I looked (my husband was supportive) but I lost drive as I didn’t want him to look at me and see me this way. I was embarrassed. My son’s friend came over and asked who I was (he hadn’t seen us in a month it was his bestie). I was so embarrassed. I tried, in September to join an app to keep me accountable for eating and exercising. I was 154 at that time, by the end October of 2023 I was stuck even though I was exercising to exhaustion, and eating about 1000 calories a day. I was devastated. I went back to my endocrinologist who put me back on my hormones, encouraged me to take adderall (which I had in the past, but didn’t have any weight loss with( he prescribed it for my endometriosis (it is miraculous for helping ending inflammation so no more super painful periods) also he said I am definitely have add. I did not want to take it because it made me super anxious in the past and never helped me loose any weight. He prescribed me anti anxiety meds (Valium to counteract that at a very low dosage(. Within two weeks of taking I started to feel like myself again anxiety was gone and I could think clearly. The weight (I was still exercising, and eating healthy stopped night eating strictly in July). I started gentle rebounding, and doing more Pilates, yoga, and movement work outs rather than intensive kickboxing and high intensity workouts. The weight finally started coming off. I still have a ways to go. I hate the scale so I go by how my clothes fit. I couldn’t fit into my leggings, any of my jeans, even sweats were tight and my shirts had all become skin tight and short. My shirts are now loose again, and end at the lower waist length. My leggings are not see through, sweats are roomy, I am getting somewhere. It feels really good!!! Thank you for sharing, and being brave! Good for you. You help so many by doing so!!!! I started watching your micro- needling videos in November of 2019 I think. I have watched your journeys and adventures off and on for years. Thank you for being authentic, even when it is hard or when things don’t go as planned!!!! I love your content.

[@christycrawford7084]

You have done a amazing job teaching us! I don’t know if I could get the drug being my size but I would love to try it. After the first week did your stomach settle down?

[@SpaandTell]

the first concentration seemed like it made me the most nauseated. the nausea would always hit on day 2, 48 hours following my injection. I typically do them on Sundays, so it was always Tuesday morning when I would vomit. Learning this, I moved my injection day to Monday so that on Tuesday, I would go to yoga. Once my strength increased, I was sick on the first dose, and then after that, I did not felt sick on it. But I just accepted the fact for the first 3 months that I would always feel horrible on day 2. 5 months out, that no longer happens, and I also think it is because I'm not dosing frequently. Spacing 4-6 weeks between injections seems like it keeps me on track and stable while not having the nausea any longer. I think once the research is funded, more people will start using these peptides for addictions, and the side effect will be weight loss. Just like with Adderal. Adderall is effective at helping people stay focused and get things done; a bonus side effect is that it keeps you skinny. Bad side effect its legal speed and hard on your heart. The world is an amazing place to me with these new tools constantly popping up, and I love the freedom to test, try, and experience what they do. For me its always been 50% desire to understand how they work on me and 50% get this weight off and make it simple. Lol

Since I was in my late 20s, I’ve always had a problem with losing 50% of my hair or more. It’s always been through times of high stress & because I fast for religious reasons, it can have an affect on hair loss for me if I haven’t been getting good nutrition, with supplements. A lot of hair loss is actually due to nutrient deficiency. The way it works is anytime your body is under stress, trauma, extreme workouts that build up a lot of lactic acid, requiring the body to alkalize itself and removing nutrients from stored areas of the body, particularly bones. This is why when we age, and the older one gets, the bones begin to look like a honeycomb, instead of dense and solid. Gastric sleeve’s biggest problem is the patient can’t get enough nutrients. Nutrition absolutely makes the number one biggest difference and unfortunately in the world war the soil is completed, you have to take supplements. I used to tell my doctor Sister all of this information but in great detail because I used to be obsessed with reading up on curing disease naturally, etc. she used to get very annoyed with me because she knew nothing about it at the time. Thankfully, but also unfortunately, due to circumstances, namely, her son end up with brain tumor at age 4, her mind began to open up, especially after seeing a patient who had come in and proven that she had reversed all sorts of supposed “incurable diseases”. Today my sister is now more than just a family, she is a functional medical doctor also working in genetics epigenetics. you have to look that up for yourself. She is highly sought after now.

[@donnadoble-brown338]

Kim, you look AMAZING! I know I tell you that all the time but you do. As a woman who hit menopause and gained a ton of weight I wish I had the courage you had to find someone to help give these solutions. My problem is I don’t eat enough.

Happy Holidays for you and the family! Much Love too❤️🎄🙏🏻💚

[@SpaandTell]

So kind of you Donna and you do always flatter me with kindness, thank you. As far as the peptides I’m just not certain at this point. They say that eventually you get to a maintenance phase. I’m not sure that will look like for me, is it a few injections per year to aid me or is it every 6-8 weeks? This next year should reveal what I need now that I’ve stabilized. It helps so much with blood sugar it’s hard to not always want it 😂 and Merry Christmas to you and your family as well 😘

[@mayday2312]

Yes, you look fantastic, but you never talked about nutrition. I was curious. Are your metabolics with a normal range? And do you try to focus on a nutrition base eating? So when you do eat, are you having a smoothie with a protein scoop because? If you don't have a lot of room to eatthen when you do you need to be focused on just getting your numbers. I'm gonna ask my Doctor about ozempic. I have serious weight that I can't seem to get off. I think my body is an vicious cycle of stress. And I don't really have much tolerance for when I do eat carbs. I'm working out, but from what I hear. It removes all thoughts about food and cravings. And that just sounds like heaven.❤

I am glad you are sharing this. I am 28 and I was skinny all my life. Never struggled with weight or weight loss until I was prescribed SSRIs. I gained 26 lbs in 3 MONTHS. It’s been TWO years with this weight still on me. Although I never had issues loosing weight in the past after the medication I can’t loose 1 pound no matter what diet I do. Even cutting out all carbs. I went to an endocrinologist who told me the medication affected my hormones and slowed my metabolism. It affected my glucose and changed the way my body metabolised weight even though my glucose levels are not clinical. Because of this the won’t prescribe me ozempick. It has made me not want to leave the house. Hate how I look and not recognise myself. I hate getting dressed every morning and until I loose this weight I will be truthfully unhappy.

Regarding my previous comment, I forgot to mention that, even with hormone issues, you can get your hair to grow back, which I have done every time I’ve lost it. I had cancer & almost didn’t make it. I was treated in 2019. They had to radiate my ovaries in order to stop me from hemorrhaging which instantly put me in menopause, but it saved my life. The doctors told me I probably wouldn’t lose much hair on this particular chemo which was true. It’s now been four years and four months since treatment & until eight months ago ago, my hair has been very long and very fine, but a lot if it. About 8 or so months ago I began to lose small amount of hair until It increased to a lot! I knew I wasn’t getting enough sleep, or nutrition & I was stressed so little by little I began to lose my hair. As soon as I increased my nutrition, especially with my supplements and stopped, allowing myself to stress out, the hair loss began to decrease little by little until now. I hardly have any hair come out when I comb it. I must add that essential oils and other oils such as avocado, oil, coconut oil, and a little bit of castor oil mixed with these essential oils help tremendously. Check out a KZbinr by the name of curly proverbs she has amazing essential oil recipes that truly work. I don’t know if she’s African-American, but I know her hair is that type of hair and it’s very difficult for them to grow it long. If it worked for her, it can work for anyone. To be honest, In the palm of my hand, I just take a small amount of avocado oil, castor oil, 4 drops of the following: 100% pure essential oils: rosemary, eucalyptus, peppermint & only 1 drops of clove oil. I rub it all together in my hands & gently pat it all into the roots of my hair w/o pulling & w/ my head upside down. I do this the day or night before I wash my hair. If you prefer, you can leave it in for an hour or 3.

I had covid also had a massive hair loss was not aware of this side effect at that time Ive always had a weight struggle lost weight put it back on and then I tried semiglutide its a miracle I lost the weight didnt have this constant anxiety about food it was like a physical and mental miracle… i have not started to notice a bit of hair loss so thank you for being-so open and informative

[@SpaandTell]

I completely agree with you on how it is mental therapy by making the good noise go away and giving you back control. It’s the most effective weight management tool I’ve ever used

[@hippychic7546]

THANK YOU for being fully transparent. i feel your pain. it is hard to show your whole body if you are not feeling good about how you look. LOL i used to have a perfect body, like 20 years ago, now, ugh, not so much, and i cant say it was from having babies...i have none. LOL i dont know what happened? maybe my full on jones for sweets! i want to try this, but like you i have great hair. its one of my fave things about me. so i guess i will have to decide which is more important? hmm, anyway you look amazing! thanx kim

Well all I can say that the hair will grow back even though the drop is a bit intense and if you don’t drop too fast you might not get the hair drop. My sister didn’t get the hair fall out and she lost more than me but it was slower for her

Thank you so much for being honest about your weight journey. Now I know I'm not alone.🥰

[@SpaandTell]

Girl you are not alone! And finally I found the solutions for my weird ass body 😂 and I love sharing it with others because I know not everything people say, that works for them, works for others. This worked for me 😘😘 and I’m so grateful

I had 3 girls back to back, 15 and 18 months apart so i can relate! Good job, momma- thanks for sharing your story. I'm 175, goal 145. Luckily I'm tall, 5'10", so it's not as noticeable, buttttttt it bothers me. Starting next week!

[@SpaandTell]

Oh wow! Congratulations 🎉 you are going to stoked to feel in control and lean out 😘😘

[@Planckepoch592]

I use minoxidil 5% twice daily and dermaroll my scalp weekly- I’ve been doing it for three months and there is a noticeable difference. Tons of baby hairs coming in.

[@SpaandTell]

That’s great!!!!

[@MedicalSkillsTraining]

I love this! I needed to hear this! How about the dosing of Semiglutide and I was wondering about Saxenda- did you talk about that in a previous video - ❤- you are so awesome for sharing all you do ❤

[@SpaandTell]

Thank you I’m working on a video for this week on my recent hormone news and what information during these experiences caused me to make the decisions I did. Also how I’m tapering and what my current plan is

[@MagnifiqueLifestyle]

I love watching your videos. Thank you for being so transparent. Your videos have helped me tremendously

[@SpaandTell]

This really makes me happy to read this morning. Thank you 😊

[@tiffanypaniagua6633]

Who was your Dr at MB? I’m looking into them now and was debating between 2 drs. Thank you

[@SpaandTell]

Do you mean who did my mommy makeover surgery? If so I shared him many times in the videos that cover my surgery. I share the quote as well. urlgeni.us/youtube/playlist/MMOplaylist

[@lisa10366]

THANK YOU so much for sharing your journey. ❤

[@SpaandTell]

You are so welcome!

[@Ilovedachshunddogs]

I support bariatric surgery and have administered anesthesia for it. I have seen ppl almost die because they went to Mexico to get a sleeve. I’m glad she didn’t have problems going to Mexico but it’s not worth it to save money. If you suffer from a complication from a foreign elective procedure your health insurance can refuse to cover your medical expenses from the complication. Great vlog

[@SpaandTell]

Thank you for your insight. I would never have qualified in the US and that’s why most people get it done in Mexico. It’s not about saving money it was based on availability 😘

[@LaPatrona845]

I’m so glad I found Your Channel, I have to agree with you 💯. I also had de Gastro Bypass that didn’t work for me. I lost all my hair now I have a pixie style. I got on ozempic & it has been the best thing I’ve done. Lost 70 pounds & now I have to find a plastic surgeon.

[@SpaandTell]

I am so happy for you! YES!!! I know Semaglutide is a miracle peptide. You are going to be on cloud nine after you get a little nip and tuck 😘😘😘

[@elettramia6380]

When did you have your gastro bypass? Did your hair grow back? I want the surgery but I’m worried about hair loss. Thank you

[@saraf1084]

Wow! Super interesting and very great that you could get where you wanted to be! Being happy is the ultimate goal, and I’m glad you are! You look fabulous! 😊 I was wondering whether or not you can stay on this drug indefinitely, once a month or how that works? Also, did Jason do it as well? Thanks again for sharing! I love that you’re so honest and open about these types of things!

[@SpaandTell]

Thank you very much 😘 Jason did it all on his own on carnivore. I do like keto and carnivore but I can also be an emotional eater so I would cycle on and off. He’s been amazing just eating meat. So I hope we can share multiple ways to achieve goals:) as for Semaglutide they do suggest to tapper and find a maintenance mode. I’ve scaled back to once a month and moving forward I’m going to see how I feel. If I start feeling ravenous I will dose but it’s truly changed my cravings so it will be interesting to see how much I need it in 2024

[@saraf1084]

@@SpaandTell That’s great! And yes I’ve heard of great results on carnivore too. I agree that there can be a variety of ways to achieve the goal! 😊 Sincerely happy for you, Kim! ❤️

[@tamishaboiette378]

You did the work as far as I'm concerned.

[@SpaandTell]

Thank you 😘😘😘 I was willing to try anything
