Weight Loss Update: I LOST 55LBS!!

[@barbaratorres6912]

I would love to see you, Luis and Alan do a video together. You three are in different stages of your journey and it would be fun to see the differences and similarities at the same time. Is this even a possibility? What has been the hardest part, what has been the easiest? Would just love you guys to share while together.

I appreciate you being so honest and transparent! My neck is also dark, but once I found out I have diabetes, I’ve slowly cut back on sugar drinks and I’ve noticed a different in my neck! Hoping to lose more weight asap! Lol

[@ericasoto4689]

My surgery was Nov 7. And I’ve had a rough recovery so far. Pain wasn’t an issue but I was sick with nausea/vomiting and needing IV hydration weekly. This is the first week that I feel like im taking a turn for the better. Thank you for posting your updates you’ve given me so much hope and I love how real you are about everything! ❤

[@ceciliamartinez9699]

I had mine that day too! And I'm the same as you but just IV fluids once. I hate this!

[@MariaCastillo-hc4pz]

Ahhhhhh you loook so goood! I been 1 year into my fitness journey last year I weighed my heaviest at 185lbs I’m only 5”2 so that’s a lot of weight for me! Today I weigh 125lbs! I been able to keep the weight off all year and I’m still losing weight! I can’t wait to continue this beautiful journey ❤ never going back! I feel beautiful and just amazing! I have so much energy I love it! Working out has been such a stress reliever I love working out! Never thought I would say that but I truly loveeee it! 🥹♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@daniflores2759]

I’m very similar to your old weight and height! How did you lose the weight? I feel like I just can’t seem to lose any weight

[@MariaCastillo-hc4pz]

@@daniflores2759 honestly the thing that I have to say helped me was I got the tubal ligation I’m done having kids I have three I turned 30 this year, and I can say that while on birth control i gained all that weight ! last year December was when I got the tubal ligation and I can honestly say that I haven’t gain any weight all year! I been at the steady weight of 125lbs! I do workout everyday mon-Saturday I do eat clean and I drink a lot of water! I was on keto for about a year! But as of right now I do carb cycling bc I do want to gain muscle I need healthy carbs! I’m so glad that I’m not on birth control!

[@MariaCastillo-hc4pz]

@@daniflores2759 I also started very slowly no rushing when I was heavier I would only workout 30min a day , or go on 1 mile walks! Today i workout for an hour mon-sat resting sundays! I don’t go to the gym I just workout at home w KZbin videos! I do weights, and cardio I do the treadmill incline 12, speed 3 for 1 hour and that’s helped me lose a lot of fat! But still keep my muscles!

[@encapsulated_nomad1359]

Thank you for showing your stomach section to really show the reality of what it looks like without shape wear or tighter clothes. I’m so happy for how well your journey has gone

[@Drea_A]

12:08 that's been the craziest thing about this journey. I was worried that id hate being full with a small portion but the satisfied feeling is huge! The way I felt eating a big meal at a restaurant is how I feel eating my current portion. It's amazing

[@loriatx78]

Why doesn't anybody say that just because you get the surgery, YOU STILL NEED TO CHANGE YOUR EATING HABITS. You can still gain Allll your weight back and stretch your stomach back out.

[@nicolebrianas9032]

I'm sitting here 9 days post op and literally everything about this video is how I am feeling! Day 7 I was like wow I'm feeling like myself again (and it's literally because the pain is pretty much gone). And I'm sitting here lonely asf looking at my family and everyone around me consuming all the foods I love lol. It's just so nice to see someone else whose felt the same way that's much further than I am.

I can't drink plain water either anymore and I used to love water. It hurts my stomach. I also add flavoring and it works so much better

[@eunice95channel]

Felt that part!!!! “When I saw the scale under 200lbs…” Girl yes it’s the best feeling ever!!!!

[@lluviaaavee6206]

Love this Karina! Your so transparent! ❤ I had my second baby 3 months ago with a final weight of 206 and this week I am 190. It’s not a lot girl but with PPD it’s hard not to just eat or be active. BUUT im so hyped it’s you I get to relate too, to help me stay motivated 🤩

[@kristinagarcia701]

Thank you for this encouragement and update. I watched your videos before I got my surgery. I am now 5 days post op so the “it gets better part” was nice to hear lol. I’m having a pretty good recovery so far but definitely looking forward to sleeping comfortably again♥️♥️

Ahhh schedule for February, Thank you so much for all the info! Please post more updates 😭😭🤍

[@LauraH..]

I felt the “being under 200s”…it’s been almost 6 years since I was in the hundreds. Unless you’ve been (or are) overweight you’ll never know the effect numbers have on you…

[@josiestyers5784]

I got gastric bypass when I was 18, 11 years ago now. I had tons of complications and was in and out of the hospital for the first like two months. And even now sometimes if I eat too much of anything, my heart with race and my stomach will hurt and I'll start to sweat and then within an hour my blood sugar drops. So 11 years later I still have to be careful how much I eat at a time

[@laurarivera1668]

I’m down 62 lbs. my surgery was Sept 1! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 so happy for us!!! Everything you said is so so relatable!!!

[@kathybrockman8363]

Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I have been putting mine off for far too long. This has helped me to have the courage to get back to the dr. to start this all over again. I have got to get this done and I know I will be much healthier. Thank you again. And you look amazing and so happy.

[@sweettvanessa]

Girl....4 yrs out And I get you.... I still share food with anybody who will... Everything you said in this video brought me back to what and how I feeled in the beginning

[@priscillavargas7150]

I’m 23 years old and I’m looking into this surgery! I’ve always had a problem with high cholesterol, pre diabetes, etc.. also have been wanting to get pregnant and got diagnosed with PCOS last week. I have my GS consultation this Thursday! Many people in my family don’t want me to get it done but honestly I want too for myself, my health, and so in the future I can hopefully be more fertile✨✨🥹

[@leannymart]

I’m 24 and I’m already booked to do the surgery. I have hypothyroidism and I’m so excited to start my new journey . Wishing you the best 🧡

Thank you for sharing your story🤍 I was sleeved in Nov and watching your content about the surgery helps so much. I hope you know how much you’re helping others going through their own journey.

[@JADE-fo8dh]

This is just a little routine I found that helps with darker areas. At your local hair store, look for the tea tree oil soap from Ghana it looks like mashed up mud -tretinoin -sugar scrub -Nivea in shower body lotion I know it'll never 100% go away, but it does help to lighten the area. 🤗❤️

[@aracelycolin95]

I love your videos I am waiting for my gastric bypass surgery approval and I have all this mix emotions I am so scared but at the same time excited I am 410pounds and I want to change my life I want to be healthy for me for my kids I feel so selfish just by even thinking that I might fail that I might not be strong enough thank u so much for sharing your experience it really motivates me to continue strong I am looking forward to hearing more updates on your weight loss journey ❤

[@alee.55]

25:33 👏 I fxkn love Karina. You're such a boss queen. Funny as hell. And respectful with your response to stupid people. Im so glad you have a platform because you are a good role model. Honest, humble &&&hard working. She could live off brand deals/KZbin and instead continues to work DAILY. You could easily be a bxtch to rude people and instead choose to respectfully open their eyes. "Queen, Period!!!" 👑

[@EatMyTweets13]

You look TF GOOD! It’s giving a whole Dessert 🧁🤤🥰❤️ love you Karina

[@candilease938]

That’s crazy that you can’t drink and eat at the same time! …my mama had the gastric bypass and she was miserable to say the least she couldn’t really ever eat anything nothing stayed in her stomach she would have to throw up almost every time she would eat….it was so sad to see she could eat seafood and keep it down …..she drank beer though which was her downfall so it made it hard for her to get past a certain weight loss point. But I’m glad you’re happy and content with where you’re going ! I’m so happy for you! God bless

You look amazing! I’m 26 and have thought about this surgery for myself. I’m 280 right now I’ve always been overweight but I’ve never been this heavy, life stuff and my own mental health issues really took a toll on me and I would binge eat out of emotions I have borderline high cholesterol and I don’t want to develop diabetes like my parents. I find it so hard to lose weight now and idk I feel like this surgery would help but I’m also terrified!!!

Thank you. You have no idea how much you help me. I'm on my journey to get my surgery soon. Can you do a quick recap of like certain things to have ready or things you might want to get prepared with before the surgery? How do you prepare your protein shakes? Of course I get this information from my dr. But its not the same as hearing it or seeing it from someone who's going through it.

I had my sleeve in 2019 and went from my hw 300 to my Lw in may 2021 180 It was so hard at the beginning I struggled so bad with bread, pasta, tortillas anything with like flour or gluten. I would often feel like gold would get “stuck” went back to eating more purées and soups until I got pregnant with twins (twins DO NOT run in my family I swear It was because of the sleeve) in 2021 near the end of my pregnancy my I felt like i had lost all of my restriction 🥺😭 I went up to 220 I had my babies Dec 2021 amd had a severe complication 5 days after and i feel into ppd 💔 It’s almost been a year and I still can’t loose the 40 pounds I feel so defeated. I just started a treatment my doctor recommended and I’m so hopeful to get back on track I just feel like I ruined my tool.

Watching your videos is making me consider it, I have hypothyroidism, high cholesterol, prediabetic, high blood pressure and I was 315 and got down to 287 but I can’t loose no more for some reason. Do you have to always take vitamins though after getting this surgery? Also can you still eat tamales and carnitas and things like that?

[@KarenMolina-fe5fp]

From my experience with pcos. Losing weight helps with hair loss. Si claro. You just had surgery and your body is stressed but with time it will grow. Also try to let your hair breathe. Without the extensions. Ami me dejaron más pelona. Just put your oils on it y déjalo descansar. Tienes un cuerpazoo!!! Looking good momma!!

[@robyro9561]

I lost 60 lbs and my only advice is workout I was doing just cardio and now I have loose skin i which I worked out more ( sorry about my English it’s not my first language)

[@noemirevuelta7000]

Do not freak out with your hair it will fall out that is why I chopped mine and it has grown so much but I felt better chipping it than seeing just the strings of hair I los a lot on top it was scary but I honestly think it helped that I went in too surgery knowing it was going to happen.
