My New YouTube Journey



Recommended Posts

Well... I decided to take the plunge and just go for it...:unsure:

I just finished recording and uploading my first EVER YouTube videos!!

I decided not to get dolled up or even fix my hair for that matter... I figure I'd go for the "just rolled out of bed look"...So then they can only get better.. Right? :D

In the future I want to be more structured and not jump around so much but hey... I gave it a shot!

Hopefully people ask me questions on there (or here).. That will make it so much easier for me to know what to talk about for next time.

Just figured I'd throw this out there and see if anyone is interested in watching or subscribing. :rolleyes:

Pleaseeee leave me feedback even if it is somewhat negative... I just want to help others and at this point dont really know how exactly to go about that with out rambling..

Check it Out?

Good for you! I have made 3 videos, my goal is once a month. I know watching videos in my research helped me a lot and I thought I could help someone else as well as keeping myself accountable and to be able to see the changes over time.

It was a really hard decision to start doing the videos because I knew I was opening myself up to criticism. However I have found everyone to be so supportive going through this process so I'm hoping the positive feedback outweighs the negative in the long run.

Im just hoping that I actually get some kind of response...Even if I don't I will continue to do them because I too want to be accountable and see the changes over time but some reassurance is always nice too. :blush:

I watched your most recent video, and was glad that you covered what kind of foods you were eating. I am still pre-op, and have started stockpiling foods I think I'll be able to eat, but I'm never too sure what will work and what won't. Please keep up the videos!

I watched your video, and I think it will be sooo useful for pre-ops!!! I was just sleeved, but I know there are tons of people out there who will benefit from this. :D

Oh, and I don't think it matters if you wander a bit, it's nice to see your personality on screen.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
