Wondering about wls youtubers channels

[Icantbelieveit 955]

I have been following several wls youtubers and most dont post anymore or rarely. Rahcreate, melliemay, nerdinoregon and several more. I follow clusie and 2 more but would like to follow more that are still currently losing and not in the plastic phase yet. Any suggestions?

Oh my, I love Clusie! But I know what you mean, a lot of the people I follow are way ahead of me, looking into plastics, etc.

One I just started watching is "my vsg confessional". I met her in another discussion group, she is recently post-op.

I follow- experiencing nirvana, vsg Jodi, vsg Tonya, Chemistry Queen, Made Up Mama, and several others. They talk about each other, so then I will go look for the people they talk about.

I subscribe to all of them. Sometimes I will go back and watch all, or almost all, of their videos so I can see the story start to finish.

One I watched like that ended up depressing me. It was "less of Sarah". I watched hours and hours of her, she was super motivated and did great. Then she got divorced and stopped making videos as often and the last one she had gained 20 pounds and said she was doing fine but seemed depressed. It was upsetting to me

YOU should start a YouTube channel!

Oh, another one I love is Drea vsg. She is very inspirational.

I think that melliemay was on here at one time.

I don't follow too many youtubers, but i DO follow FAT DOCTOR!

Love it. totally addictive. i have also been watching a few of the 5 day pouch reset videos recently too.

I'm so not a woman in front of the camera person lol. But thank you. I watch Nirvana too, but there is something I cant relate to her. I guess its the paranoia if her multiple wls left her at 300lbs, it could happen to me? Not sure. I still watch though.

I was actually going to share my journey on YouTube. My surgery is scheduled for sept 19th. I've never done any videos so i figured I'd try to film and upload an intro one this week before the main event.

I like Mellielay, and Molly Poole. I watch a lot of them, but I NEED to watch Fat Doctor for sure!

I found another one, Danielle's VSG journey. She is awaiting insurance approval right now, just like me!

I understand what you are saying about Nirvana. I like her personality but she had so much to lose and still has so far to go. I kinda wanna find women close to my age and starting weight, I am 53 and so many of them are younger than I am. I still love some of them, but can't relate as much.

I keep looking. I find new ones every day. I really wanna watch Fat Doctor but I am also watching Stranger Things on Netflix (SO good) There are only so many hours in a day.

On top of those already mentioned above I also watch Leelee VSG, See Jane Shrink, and SJs journey..also recently watched some videos from Perforce. Being based in (and from) Africa it can be difficult to relate sometimes but i love their personal stories and sense of humors.

My freinds always say i should make videos. Why i don't know. I have nothing interesting to talk about lol. It'd probably be a bunch of rant videos and stuff anyway lol. But im definitely looking for new people to watch.

Wow, this is a great thread for me to read. I'm an old-schooler and I have a channel on YouTube and still post every now and then, but not very often: DIVA TAUNIA. (Gastric bypass 2008)

I actually didn't think anyone posted on YouTube about wls surgery anymore, but that's really just because the folks that were posting around the same time I was stopped doing so. It's really great to see all of these new faces and names, and I'm definitely going to check everyone out!

[laceemouse 631]

I now follow like 100 people, I am hooked!

Watch Finding Elizabeth and VSG Jodi. They talk about everyone else, including new people. Go see who THEY follow and you will have dozens of people to follow in a matter of days.

New people start making videos daily. You can see people who are at goal, close to goal, just a few weeks or months out, and people who are waiting for their surgery.

Now that I have a surgery date I may start making videos. I comment on a lot of them, people answer, it's very helpful.

Fat girl svelte on here makes videos too, she is pre op at the moment.
