[@Z_Dyme]

Congratulations!! I just past my 1 month post-op date (May 13th) and your videos have really helped me. I hit a stall around weeks 3 and 4. I was so sad!! But I thought about your journey and I told myself to stop getting on the scale and focus on my water and protein. Its slowly moving now but I had to let you know how much I appreciated your honesty during those moments. And yes, constipation is REAL!! I will try the coffee tip though! Thanks again!

Congratulations.... enjoying your videos. I'm in the early stages, as I have to complete 6 months of appointments for insurance purposes. Oct is my goal date for VSG. Looking great Sis...its the outer and inner glow you have for me.

Thank youuu 💕💕🥹🥹 October is gonna be here before you know it 💕

[@TheKierraJones]

I have my first appt tomorrow I’m hoping it a smoother quicker process.

[@chynahbrown7151]

Congratulations!! I just want to say to those who DON'T normally have a period. I haven't had one in 3 years and since my surgery, I have had one and not sure if it's due to the anesthesia messing with meds or just because my surgeon said "Once you have the surgery you'll be more fertile." Congrats to the people in the comments who are about the start or have started their journey.

[@theveronicanlife]

Love your videos. I'm currently at 2 months Post VSG and often go back to see what you were doing then. Literate pauses the video and went to target to get the protein isolate and mio you mentioned and it's delicious.

[@elizabethleboho9752]

It's my one month post today. I am loving losing the weight but still struggling to eat.

[@lenedrasills9368]

[@cocoyael5372]

Your video is the most comprehensive and down to earth that I’ve watched I’ve been so scared to get the surgery I messed around and got Covid the week of surgery which was supposed to be June 10 I’ve been really feeling weak so I was kind of happy I’m hoping that they will reschedule me for the latter part of June or first part of July but truly your input your video your content has made it to where I’m reconsidering again because I really was getting cold feet thank you so much for being so transparent thumbs up five stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤩❤️

[@karensandiego]

That sucks , hopefully you will be rescheduled soon !! Just try to focus on why you decided to get this surgery in the first place ! Good luck on your journey 💕💕

[@luvidominguez7011]

Thank you for making videos. They have really helped me as I am almost 2 weeks post op VSG.

[@purplereignsupreme6990]

Wow! In 2 months. That's amazing! I was 273 at highest. I'm 269 now. Trying to lose up until approved for surgery. Have to get psychology eval. Soonest appt in July. Congrats!

[@karensandiego]

Good luck on your journey !

[@cgo7777]

Yes I know about the Vsg gurgles and she be loud with it too, right?! I’m almost one month post op so I enjoy your content because I get to see could possibly be next for me! Congratulations on your weight loss! I also have PCOS (since I was 12) and hoping for a full reversal of symptoms during my journey! Looking forward to your next video and about to add you on IG!

[@karensandiego]

I definitely feel like my PCOS symptoms are going away . Hopefully this facial hair can go too lol

[@kathleenmiller994]

Love your videos❤️ Thank you❤️ I had my sleeve 4/12/22. I have lost 30# since surgery. I still am so tired though. I realize I am older 65, with Arthritis, but I feel exhausted most of time!

[@karensandiego]

Has your doctor checked if you are B12 deficient . I was and b12 supplements have helped with my energy

[@TheKierraJones]

@@karensandiego what b12 supplement did you use?

[@corteyabanks9929]

I’m glad I was told to reach out on utube for people in the same boat as me. I can relate so much with your 1 month story. I gained 2 pounds and I had a nervous breakdown. I can see a change in my clothes. I stalled can’t wait to weigh tomorrow.

[@mbachujules]

I had mine on the 11th. Im Currently 1week post op and clothes are fitting in lol. I have decided to keep away the scale and just go with fitting to keep my motivation up. I pray I don’t stalk and thanks for the coffee tip will try

[@karensandiego]

Hey congrats !! To be honest with you stalls are a part of the process . It will happen at some point , but if you stay off the scale you might be able to avoid noticing it 💕

[@mimiii444]

Get it girl!!! 🥳🥳 I had my surgery 5/24/22...I'm 9 days p.o. and the burp thing is true. Still on a liquid diet, having a hard time figuring out what the feeling of being full is... because I'm on liquids it's hard to know when I'm full...hopefully when I start my pureed stage I'll know. I have to buy a scale for my food, that makes sense...to teach your eyes and brain what oz of food look like. Thanks for your videos! I'm in SD too! North County

[@karensandiego]

Congrats on your surgery ! 🎉🎉💕💕

Sooo real 😩 coffee definitely helps tho ! 💕

I made 6 weeks post op this Monday and finally broke a 3 week stall. Its been a rough ride and im still second guessing.

Congratulations, I’m in the process where I’m checking every thing off to get to the pre op appointment. I’m almost done with my check list. Just had my appointment with the psychologist, and did the cardiologist already. Now my Nutrition class then. Wait for my appointment for pre op. And losing weight in the process. Already loss 18 lbs. And go to Aquatic therapy twice a week. It’s a water tank treadmill and you walk for 30 minutes now I’m doing an hour. I started it was 30 minutes. Now this week hour. An a hour walking in tank you walk a mile. The reason also help with my left knee have osteoarthritis. Don’t have no cartridges in left knee. So the therapy helps too. And you also lose 3 lbs every time I do the therapy. And eating my small portions. No sodas. No sweets. Doing okay. So far. Thanks to your videos. They help. Give me the determination. Thank you. Appreciate your videos alot. Blessings to you and your family.💕😊Keep your videos going. They are helpful and inspiring.

Congratulations! Thanks for your videos. Constipation is absolutely one of my problems as well. I’m 2.5 months out my surgery and I’ve lost only 25 pounds. I feel I’m going very slow and that makes me kind of worried.

[@karensandiego]

I’m 3 months out now and the constipation has definitely gotten way better so there is hope ! And loosing slow isn’t always a bad thing , I know we want to see the pounds coming off fast but loosing slower can help with skin elasticity so there is positives to it ! 💕

The burp is real...I just comes and you can't help yourself. Lol. I'm 5 weeks post op and I've been at a stall for 2 weeks now. It is frustrating to say the least but am drinking my water and protein and working out 3-4 days a week. If I don't see this scale move at least a bit I'll scream.🤭

[@karensandiego]

The stalls are inevitable 😩 best advise I can give to try and get it moving is to poop lol of you haven’t been pooping . And if you’re good in that department then don’t stress the scale will move soon 💕

[@michelleanastasoff5069]

Hi Karen, I’m about a month out from getting my gastric sleeve operation. I’m so excited and so inspired by your videos. My question was when do you start to see the hanging skin and could you please clarify in one of your videos you said your arms were not covered by insurance your breasts were could you expand more about that? I would appreciate it. Thank you.

[@blsd4mne7]

@@Tammie77 I can relate. My surgery date was April 21 and ive lost 22lbs but ive been at a stall a couple times but then I'll drop 5lbs, so we both have to just know it will come as long as we do our part, eat better choices and exercise as much as possible. That message for me too lol.
