Are you a You Tuber?



Recommended Posts

I absoutely love watching the You Tube vlogs of weight loss surgery journeys. They have been inspiring, entertaining, and so informative that I feel I will know better how to handle the surgery and post op experiences.

If you are You Tubing - tell me! I will subscribe and watch!

I ventured into it myself yesterday as I want to pay it forward.

Mine:

Tell me- tell me yours!

CONGRATS and I can't wait to watch your journey. :-)

I watch A LOT of video's on Youtube. Seeing everyone's success and gave me the courage to seek out the vsg. i continue to do research using YT, this forum and anywhere else I can find info. If I hadn't found all the youtubers, I doubt I'd be on this journey. So I'm grateful to them all.

I hear ya! Every night before I fall asleep (and while getting used to my CPAP machine that takes awhile!) I watch video after video. When I find a new person I watch all their videos- I guess I just want to honor the fact that they have bothered. I have gained so much information about the real story of someone having this surgery, as opposed to the concept of it I had before.

Between that and this forum I feel so supported!

Just watched your video meggie...Great Job! I look forward to seeing your progress!! Hope my videos help answer any questions you may have. Julie was one of the first people I watched as well and she continues to be an inspiration as I progress on my journey... I can only hope that I inspire someone like she has for us! :-)

I have watched you all the way to week 12 so far! Actually believe it or not I ha not thought of using unflavored Protein powder in other things so , yes, you have already helped me!

Not to mention I am jealous of you having such a relatively easy recovery- and had a good giggle picturing you sitting cross legged on the hospital bed being told to lie down!

Awwwwwwww!! Thaaaanks!!!! I love hearing from those who watched my viids!!

I have started yours from the first- I'm like that- I like to follow from the beginning.

I love that we can use our iPhones- I was in the prep room waiting to be taken for my colonoscopy this morning and my husband got th idea I should do my second vlog- out the phone came and I sad a few words and voila- Video #2.

I need some guidance about how to insert photos or captions- is there a tutorial somewhere?

      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.
