I finally got the guts to make my first youtube video, I kept putting it off because I did not want to see myself in camera. Let me know what you think!

The only critique I have is that you stop and say "um" too much. :) I've considered making a YouTube video but I'd probably keep it for my family only. not sure I want to put my face on the public forum just yet... :)

Nice job! :)

Thanks for that! I was super nervous LOL.... I decided to post it in hopes it will help other people the way that other peoples videos have helped me. Also part of me wants to be accountable to others, since obviously (because of my past failures) I am not good at being accountable just to myself. Making it for yourself is also a good idea.

Hi! I think it is awesome that you are making youtube videos to keep yourself accountable!! I am also making videos but they are just for myself for now. I may put them up sometime. What is your screen name on youtube? is it the same as your name here? I'd love to follow you through your journey! :)

Commited2Change, I love your nick name! I am also committed (I hope I don't end up committed somewhere else LOL).... My name on youtube is beautyvgsjourney (note is VGS not VSG). Let me know if you decide to share your journey, its a very personal journey but I am using it in a way that will hopefully keep me accountable and hopefully will help others in the future. Thank you for your encouragement!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
