I started my video blog on my gastric sleeve experience!



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

I had a video blog years ago when I did the Master cleanse, and when I was trying a brand of Protein shakes. I have just restarted my blog to document my gastric sleeve experience. I want to see if I can get some subscribers here. Please subscribe to my channel and share with others.

The blog is called rebuilding Paul! and I hope you'll take a moment to watch it and offer any suggestions you may have. I want these to improve as I go and this community is very helpful.

Thanks. My doctor likes them. He's putting them on his website. Hopefully I can get more people to subscribe and share. I have about 15 friends who are exercising and dieting because they said I inspired them. So every time I think about cheating on my diet, they get mad at me and make sure I don't.

I was worried they were a bit too long and had too much talking. I'm going to try to make them more brief in the future. I also am going to start having people take video of me exercising so I can do a montage when I reach my goal.

That's awesome! Good for you. I started a blog when I began my journey (about 9 months pre-op) and I still keep up with it now (27 months post op). I get messages all the time that it has helped complete strangers with their struggles and that means the world to me. It also keeps me honest. Everytime I want to give up or go off track I think about everyone who reads my blog and I feel a sense of responsibility to them. it's also great for me to go to it and look back over my journey. Some day in the future when I feel more like my journey is "complete" I'd love to make it into a book. Anyway, just wanted to say I think you will be really glad you did this a couple of years down the line when you can look back on it :-)

Nice blog. I'm wondering if I will need surgery to get rid of the loose skin. My doctor says in exchange for using my video blog he will give me a HUGE discount.

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
