- Her story about losing 40 pounds in 3 weeks after gastric sleeve a bariatric surgery for weight loss. The truth is the reason for getting weight loss surgery is the most important factor. For Priscilla, the reason is to live longer. We have a lifetime of taking care of our autistic daughter so living for as long as possible is important.
This video was made with the intention of sharing one person's experience with the gastric sleeve surgery. It is not intended as medical advice. Consult your doctor for weight loss surgery information.
“Being fat is so much easier if you don’t think about it.” Amen, sista!
Lol she needs to copy right that saying and get it on a weight lose shirt!
So true
Every thing is easier in life if you choose not to acknowledge it.
@@jenpinkerton773 but she did and did something about it!
@@lizcoz4714 I absolutely was not talking about Cilla ♥️ that was my response to Angela Duffy.
I cried when she cried. "He's loved me at all my sizes" 😭 You are so lucky to have each other.
Stephanie Arvin Wishing I could find a man who loved me... at whatever weight. Asa thinks she’s beautiful just as she is. What a blessing!
Love this❤️
Me too.
I want the surgery so bad but my family is against it I don't know what to do
This was an awesome video thank you
I had gastric bypass in 2010, it was the best decision of my life. I was 448 and I’m 189. I’m proud of you and I hope you keep going.
How did you deal with loose skin…if you had any? I’m in the process and that’s what I’m worried about
@@GraceArie hey I'm just seeing this video also. I had it done in 1995.. my weight was 398 pds and I had a huge tummy and my mom had to make my bars. Not even lane Bryant had it that big! I was told by my doctor you need to walk A. S. P. and 2 lbs weight in each of your hands! my mom brought the motor home to make me more comfortable! Let me tell you something No Way!! When we pulled up to my house I hope out and started walking up the street! By the time my husband caught up with me I was already one block! he wasn't happy with me. the more I walk the better I felt! The Skin came off for me! with adding a mile and a weight every week an walking 3 to 4 time's a day it all came off in 14 months and I my weight is 130 to 135! I'm so happy i did it! But you have to have a mind set! For my sister it didn't work so hot! Tell me do you still drink water and weight the 30 minutes. to eat? I do!
She didn't unfortunately
@@mc4738 she did though
@mc4738 very rude
Whenever Priscilla cries I want to jump through the screen and hug her. It literally hurts my heart. Love you Priscilla ♥️
Me too.
yes I feel the need to just give her a big hug
Same! She has such a warm and lovely aura I just want to hug her and tell her she’s doing amazing 💗
Asa, you my sir, are a TRUE MAN!!!!!!! Love isn’t the size, looks, etc. she is truly grateful for you! And that shows! Y’all have such a desirable relationship!!!!! You 2 are truly wonderful together!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@joana snowden Are you a feminist?
Andrea Benner I usually give props to Asa for just about everything, but being supportive I think should just be a given when it comes to your spouse or partner. I know it isn’t always, but it should be. I am proud of Priscilla for showing her experience in this, to help others by being so honest and open about her fears, concerns, not wanting her personality to change through the process, never wanting to be a burden on her family, the terror some have (genuine terror) walking into a Drs office. Those are not easy topics to just throw out to thousands upon thousands of strangers. Not many would show the ups and downs like she did. What a woman putting it all out there to help others on their journey.💕
Is that before or after he cheated on her and had another child that he abandoned 🤔? Just curious
@@mc4738 why are you being so nasty? And do you have any proof of Asa's infidelity?
@mc4738 that's none of your business
Oh, so we gonna start the video by making me cry? Cool gotcha
Yari Ruiz I’m right there with you, I cried through the whole thing....I lost 160lbs many years ago and have struggled so bad with seeing myself the way others see me now. Like literally I look in the mirror and see the girl before the weight loss.....I know that’s not really what I look like but that’s what I see and I really struggle with it. In my mind I seemed so much happier and struggled less emotionally before all the weight loss. This topic is so emotional and makes me just want to reach out and hug Priscilla.
I'm not crying, you're crying.
Yari Ruiz same!
Lol I was crying too
Yeah same!!
The way your husband just sits and allows you to talk without interrupting is amazing!
I thought he interrupted too much. Did we watch different videos?
He's being totally supportive and listening to her when she's saying really important matters of how she feels
Said with sarcasm lol
Why the negativity? They balance each other out with the talking. Sometimes she talks over Asa, sometimes Asa talks over her. They dont seem bothered with it so no one else should be interjecting their opinion. No one is commenting on yalls marriage.
Asa drives me nuts when he jumps in but I can truely see the love and support that he brings.
“ He has loved me all my sizes”😍💚 such a beautiful kind of unconditional love!!!!!!!!
This is the kind of marriage to strive for, got me all choked up when she started talking about Asa
Oh Priscilla, you broke my heart when you cry. We are all rooting for you.
Carol Yarbrough same I’m literally crying right now too 😭😭💔💔
Same I cried with her😭
When Asa said "I'm going to tell the Dr I need you" I started crying that was so sweet and caring and you could tell by the way he said it that he really really meant it...
Awe you broke my heart! My 13 year old struggles with weight and being an 8th grader kids can be cruel! 200 pounds was her weight last year and she had high cholesterol and bp. She doesn’t over EAT and drinks nothing but WATER! She has worked soooo hard and is down from a size 16 to a 12 ! WE FLEW TO FLORIDA TO VISIT MY PARENTS THIS YEAR AND GOT HER FIRST TWO PIECE!!! So proud of her she’s worked so hard! She’s down to 170 and going strong!!! Stay strong CILLA🥰🥰🥰😘😘❣️AND TY FOR SHARING
A) The post surgery gas is no joke.
B) Do exactly as the doctor says
C) You will never go to a buffet again. $$$
D) Way to go on the decision.
Lol, I had no idea if I had pain from surgery, I was screaming from the pain from where the gas settled.
I am a migraine sufferer and get kidney stones (sometimes stuck) and the gas was worse, but you are coming out of surgery. But unlike my other two problems, gas pain was just a couple of hours. And no I don't get headaches or stones because of weight, I am currently 133 is not going lower no matter how much I try
She absolutely went to a buffet again! 😢
When Priscilla cries, I cry. You are a strong, beautiful woman. xoxox
Ive been on my own weight loss journey, its been challenging to say the least, diet and exercise and was looking into getting the surgery as well, about 6 months ago i went to my consultation appointment, i got denied the surgery, and i was so proud of myself because of the reason.... i now didnt meet the weight requirements.... i was too SMALL. Doctor requires that i was 100 lbs over weight for my height... and i wasnt anymore! As of this month (one year of this journey) ive lost 120 lbs. I have 50lbs to go to reach my goal.
Congrats to you for facing your fears! You got this!!!
Melissa Clagg Bravo!
How'd ya do that?
Congratulations 🎉 very happy for you.
@@hellosweetheart3350 started with diet and light exercise mostly yoga. I switched to fat free dairy items and sugar free options for everything i could. I use stevia as a sweetener and i switch to whole grain carbs, breads pastas, rice etc. I drink a small cup of lemon water before meals and make sure my carb is only 25% of my plate.
The more weight i lost, the more i stepped up exercise. Soing yoga and light cardio and light resistance training. As my body got used to it (3 weeks or so) i added a little more weight or more reps or something to make it challenging again.
Thank you guys
“I don’t wanna talk about that”
Shows the absolute love he has for you.
I am so happy for you!! I had gastric bypass in 2003! I’ve lost 253 pounds! If you need to talk I’m here!!
Can you please share your story?
Kathryn I also had gastric bypass in 2002. I weighed 300 & lost 150 pounds. You catch a lot of flack for it. Everybody has an opinion & they state it. It isn't the be all end all though. You have to commit to changing your way of eating for life because if you don't it won't work. I've kept almost all my weight off. But.....there are draw backs we didn't know back then. Health issues they didn't know about back then. I've had some major health issues the last three years, gastric problems & they are all caused by the gastric bypass but had we known those things could happen it could have treated it. I'm not trying to discourage anybody just telling what I've gone through. The surgery changed my life so I don't regret it, I just regret not knowing what could happen. It's amazing watching your body shrink so fast. Hoping the very best for you Priscilla, I'll be praying for you. Your going to love your new self.
❤
🙋🏻♀️ RNY in 2010. Lost 150 pounds. 9 years out and I still haven’t told many. So many people don’t understand it’s a tool and I was also afraid of gaining back and being a failure. I wish I thought I was worthy of the surgery years earlier. So happy to hear of your successes and happy for Priscilla!
@@skysnene what health issues are caused by the gastric bypass?
I am not sure if you want some advice for post surgery. But I had a Gastric Bypass 7 years ago. Keep taking all of your vitamins (this will help with hair loss as well as your energy). Stick with eating healthy the rest of your life because you can gain your weight back after time. There are many Bariatric surgery support groups you can join to keep you on track. When you have lost your weight you are going to have extra skin that can be very mentally challenging. Exercising during your weight loss will help with that. After a while it will be come a lifestyle and not be work anymore. Keep up with it!
@@asmrp2p903 Every Dr. is different and it also depends on insurance requirements. Some Drs. don't require any pre-op diet. I'm having VSG in 3 days and I was only required to do full liquids the day before surgery.
Priscilla...you're my hero. You have so much on your plate and I'm so happy you're doing something for YOU. Do whatever you need to do to make yourself feel better. You're a great person, great mother, great wife. I'm totally in your corner.
This story is so inspiring! I love Priscella and I'm so impressed by how well she is able to be vulnerable on camera. She is helping a lot of people.
Love you Cilla!!! You’re such an amazing woman and mother!
Im also losing weight with you guys lol diet club! I lost 20lb in 5months👏🏼im sooooo proud of my self and im so proud of you guys😊
Congrats! It’s hard work and you should be proud!!!
I’m new to your channel, I have 2 kids on the spectrum and also had the sleeve done on Feb 22, 2018, so far I’ve lost 130 lbs and it’s the best decision I’ve ever done, not only for my kids but also for me because I’m the happiest I’ve been knowing I can be more active for them and can be healthier to be there for them in the future. Thank you for sharing your story! Best of luck on your journey!! ❤️❤️
Hi prlllll
OMG YOUR RELATIONSHIP IS SO SOLID 😭
Y’all both make daily accommodations for your daughter. It’s not about what could & couldn’t be done in the past so let’s look into the future 🤷🏼♀️💋
Thank you for the video. I will get the sleeve in 4 months. Congrats on a longer life.
Honestly sat down with a glass on wine, connected my phone to the TV and watched the whole thing. You are a great mom Cilla. You have a great family that will love you either way. Asa, bravo for being such a great husband. I want a relationship like y’alls one day!
So glad you did decide to share this...I'm excited to watch your new journey
Pricilla still looks the same size post surgery, a few years on. I wonder if she kept up the post surgery instructions?
From one chunky girl to another: you are such an beautiful person! You do you girl!!! Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us!
Whenever you’re sad Priscilla, my heart breaks. You seem like such a genuine, beautiful person regardless of any number on a scale. Thank you for sharing your journey. Sending love, support, and comfort lovely lady.
When you were talking to Abigail before your surgery and explaining that you'll be back on friday... oh my goodness i cried so much. The love a mother has for her daughter. I want to be here as long as I can for mine too❤ love you Priscilla
Asa you are such a sweet, supportive husband!
So happy for you ! I had the sleeve done 9 months ago and I’ve lost 160 pounds. It’s an amazing tool !
I’m here to talk to if you want it!
Kaitlyn S I’m having the sleeve on June 3rd I would love to ask you some questions if I can
Sarah Burnham yes definitely!
Kaitlyn S help me. Im going for an appointment to change my life. i need motivation to change my life
Kaitlyn S can i have your email?
@@sarahburnham6354 How did it go???
I think this is the most honest video I have seen about bariatric surgery. Thank you so much for sharing because I have been contemplating this.
Priscilla is so brave! How incredibly selfless to go through a scary surgery to be there for your daughter longer ♥
Whatever body shape you have or will have in the future you are always going to be the nicest, sweetest person on UA-cam and we will always support you.
nubian jaz ~ YESSS!!!! Love her!!!!💕
My ex-wife had the sleeve 2 years ago she lost 160lbs and she had a big personality change its normal your outlook on life will change and your relationship dynamics will change for us it ended our marriage but it’s not the only reason we split.
the important thing is she is healthy and able to care for our kids better now and we coparent better now than before
I’m now going though the process of getting ready for the surgery next
She didnt deserve her lose 🤗 congrats on taking the steps on begin a better you
Hi , how is your weight loss going ?
Awe... great story and outcome. I wish you all the best for your own sake and your childrens❤️🌅
Many men can't handle the new self-esteem she has. They see it as a threat, especially when they are overweight.
@@lynbootsie3194
I'm watching someone's marriage set ablaze after the wife had the surgery. You can call it new found self esteem if you want.
Pricilla: “No filming me in my pajamas.”
Also Pricilla: allows Asa to film her in hospital scrubs
You got this P!!! We are so immensely proud of you!!
One of the best parts of the sleeve over the bypass is that they take out the part of your stomach that tells your brain that you're hungry. I NEVER feel hungry and that's the best! I cooked in restaurants for 25 years. I love giving food as a gift. Still can! It just helps you reduce how much goes into your mouth.
This is quite literally one of the healthiest relationships I have ever seen. That exchange about what accommodations partners make for one another was felt completely and utterly honest and loving. I’m here for it! You go girl!
This was heartbreaking in the most uplifting way. I love the way you love yourselves, others, but mostly each other. You are a wonderfully beautiful person, Priscilla!
Hey one word advice take measurements because there times you won’t see a huge weight loss but you will be losing inches
Rereeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrdrrurbu
I regret not taking measurement before my surgery!
I'm glad that you felt comfortable enough to share this with us! So proundnof you Cilla!
Hi Priscilla, thanks for sharing your weight loss journey. I'm having gastric sleeve surgery on 10th June 2019 and am feeling nervous and excited, x
How was it
How did it go?
What a rollercoaster of emotions I was feeling those tears girl! I’m so excited that you felt that you could share this with us maass squad peeps! We love you Cilla exactly as you are, this was your decision and yours alone so glad you’re happy and feeling better! ❤️
"I'm gonna tell the doctor that I really need you" DO YOU HAVE MAKE ME CRY?
I know this is off topic but at the end of last summer I quit smoking and I gave up soda, I haven't smoked or drank soda in 8 months. I also started walking 6.2 miles every weekend and 2 miles every week day. I am a single mom of three girls my youngest is asd, dmdd, and ADHD. my oldest is ADHD and my middle daughter is typical. Now back on topic I have prayed everyday Priscilla since you first mentioned you had surgery and I had the feeling that is the surgery you had done. I just didn't want to say anything because it wasn't my place to say anything. plus you said you'd talk about it when you was ready. thank you for sharing Priscilla. I did notice in the new videos you lost weight in your face. you know you didn't have to share this because it's your body, your choice and your personal life. I love you all so very much...I will continue to pray for you because even if you are healed you still need the support.💙❤
You're amazing. Never give up on your health and you're happiness. I've never met a family who deserves more support then you guys. Such a beautiful family ♥️
You guys are amazing, thanks so much for sharing. I could feel all the emotion in this raw, honest, vlog.
I had it done, your hair will grow back! I had it done 9 years ago and don’t regret it. I no longer am on blood pressure meds
Congratulations, Priscilla on making the right choice for you. We have no doubt you will be successful. We are cheering you on! ❤
Oh Priscilla you made me cry. It's so good to have the support, regardless of the situation.
The love you share is priceless.
Wishing you all the best 💗💗💗
This video was incredibly well done and inspiring! You ARE taking care of your family by taking care of yourself! All the best to you on your journey, Priscilla! ❤️
Thank you for sharing your rawness, your tears, your thoughts, your strengths and vulnerabilities. Thank you for being you: a beautiful woman who has always shined from within and is such an example in life.
Priscilla, you’re the sweetest and seeing you sad at the beginning HURTS my heart!! Glad you’re taking charge however you please. You’re a strong woman. Love ya!
Thank you for sharing this. This is one of my favorite videos y’all have ever done. It was raw, honest, and full of love.
Priscilla, thank you for putting yourself out there and sharing this with us. We are all with you and supporting you ❤️
YES QUEEN GET IT GIRL! 👑 wear your crown and be proud!!
hi guys first off thanks for making me cry lol but no this is so touching and relateable because i have struggled with my weight my whole life i am chunky now but last month is the 2 year mark of my anorexia recovery. i was 80 pounds soaking wet and had to be put on life supportso i decided to turn my life around and got a little more chunky thanio would have liked but now im okay. i have my fiancee who loves me for just the way i am and i am way happier now. i have struggled with mental illness physcial disabilty and autism so i have had a bumpy ride but i refuse to let it sink my battleship as i like to say so i wish you the best cilla
love bella
I love ur rare true beauty and honesty!!! I too am a Priscilla! 44 days and counting for My journey to begin !!
You are such an inspiration Priscilla. Thank you for choosing to share this with us. It's so wonderful that you have the support you in Asa. You two are a great team.
My fiancee is in the mist of discussing this surgery with his Dr. I love him no matter his size & he knows it. It's his decision and I support him every step of the way & 100%. Love you guys!! Thank you for all you do!! 💜💙
So happy you shared this! ❤️ I’m glad you did this for you.
I had full bypass 17 years ago, (There was not an option for sleeve) and went from 400 to 250. Hovered there for a few years. A year ago I started keto and now at 140, unreal still. Went from 40 to 22 to now 12. Very unreal. The biggest advice I offer anyone is see a counselor. I did and made all the difference. Move out of emotional eating and being more self aware. I’m doing better at 67 than at 45. Congratulations dear, all the best for this new journey your on.
And the hair loss thing, minoxidil, it’s help my hair to grow and come back from some loss. My personality is just happier and calmer.
Sent you 2 photos on messenger
Priscilla, I am so beyond proud of you!!! You are such an amazing and strong woman. This video is so raw and so open, I love it! Thank you for feeling comfortable enough and ready to share your story and journey with us! I cried along with you girl!! Doing this for not only Ab, but for yourself... it's incredible and shows how strong and dedicated you truly are!! I am here to support you 110% of the way!! You are such an inspiration and I love you guys sooo much!!! 💖💖💖
What a refreshing, genuine video. Your whole channel is a breath of fresh air. The way you love one another, the love you show & share in your marriage, and the love you hold for yourself, Priscilla, is absolutely inspiring. Thank you for sharing your real experience. You are so appreciated!
Thank you for sharing Priscilla 🙂. You are inspiring and you help remind me that health is important.
Cilla is so brave to share this with us. It’s amazing how open you are about a sensitive topic
Priscilla, you are an angel on earth with a great heart!! Sending you love and support through this journey. I am an ABA Therapist going for master's to become a BCBA, and I love seeing the strides your family makes in your vlogs. You guys are so awesome and inspiration to be sharing the most intimate parts of your lives with the world. Best wishes for you guys and have a nice Easter
Priscilla thank you so much for being so open and sharing your journey! You are so brave, honest and real. You are such an amazing Mother! Keep up the great work ❤️
Ugh im only 10 seconds in and i can tell im going to cry 😢
Me too.
SlimChanny87 yep right there with you
Why? It is her decision
K J not crying about her decision, for me personally weight is just an emotional subject and probably is with most individuals struggling with or having struggled in the past with weight problems. Also, empathy....plain and simple, her emotional journey is visible and palpable and I think a lot of people don’t want to see others having struggles. In general, for me at least, I want everyone I encounter to be happy, not facing struggles and healthy.
Yep. I spent the first part crying 😢. Now I’m happy! Congratulations to you! You will and are doing and looking amazing!
Priscilla! Thank you for choosing to share your journey. I've actually been in the weight loss surgery program on and off for a few years. And this time I'm determined to make it happen. AND because of you sharing this, I feel so much more confident that I can do it. My biggest hang up has been the "afterlife" :) I have little to no discipline when it has come to eating or health and so I've to worried that I won't do justice and make a bigger mess for myself than I am already in. I've made a ton of excuses for myself - not a great support system, I'm just too busy, etc. But after watching your video, I'm actually relieved because so many of your early emotions stuck a cord and ring true for me. You were honest and transparent and I am so thankful! I'm only a couple of steps away from having the surgery (per the requirements of our clinic/insurance) and I'm GOING TO DO IT! So thank you, thank you, thank you! And I am glad you have such an awesome support team. Please keep us posted on your progress. I know I'll be watching! I've been watching following you all on Facebook for just a few months, but though I've don't know anyone in my immediate circle with autism, I have learned so much and see an incredible family trying to teach people like me. Big praise for each of you and your work!
I just rewatched this for the billionth time because I am finally having my surgery in 4 weeks......and it's because of ya'll. My 19 yr old autistic granddaughter moved in with me last Nov and I need to be around for her as long as I can. I'v been on a pre surgery liquid only diet for the past 2 weeks and I am down about 15 lbs already. I love what you said about "it's only food". That's going to be my new Mantra. Thanks for being brave and making this video.
Asa reminds me of my husband so loving and supportive I have a lot of medical problems and my husband tells me I never have to face them alone
Oh mama, I’m so happy for you! I’m excited to watch your journey! And Mr. Asa, you are a wonderful man and husband! I love how you support each other. So glad you decided to share this video🥰
Cilla thanks for sharing this! My dad had gastric bypass when I was 14. Your experience has taught me a little more about my Dad's journey. He did his surgery for me, to be around longer. You did it for Abby. I understand her position in this. I didn't say thank you to my dad at 14 but I will stay thank you now to you. I understand how selfless this is. Thank you. Everything you feel in this video is normal and shows how strong you are!
Thank you for sharing your experience! I know so many people with the same fears as you, and seeing you push through and talk through your fears to get information is really empowering.
Literally havw spent over 12hrs watching the vlogs. Cant get enough of you guys. Abbie brightens my day and all the love you guys share is amazing. Love from kansas!!
Congrats Cilla! I take my hat off to you! Lots of love for a speedy recovery all the way from Perth Western Australia 💜💜💜
Welcome to your journey. I had my vertical sleeve 5 years ago. You are a strong women and family. You got this!
I love your honesty and candor. I have just begun my journey to a healthier me. I look forward to hearing about your progress.
My gosh Cilla you & Asa are epic parents! Beautiful, kind and caring people.
Wishing you a quick and comfortable recovery.
your channel is so real and i love that. thank you for sharing the many journeys that your family faces.
Thanks for sharing your story XX
I am 6 months post op bypass and I am so thankful I got the surgery, it saved my life...
Thank you for leaving in the part at 11mins, where you show your anxiety. It make me feel less alone in being worked up over seeing the Dr.
This was so beautiful and humbling. You let all your walls down and showed us this. I love it. U got this Cilla!!!!! We love u.
Thank you Cilla for feeling safe with us to share your journey. 💗
So proud of you Priscilla!
What an amazing video💓
Thank you for sharing this journey. Looking forward to watching your progress and I can not wait to see your healthy recipes to come.
You guys are just the best. You have become my new favorite "show" and I think it's because you are just real and nice people. So many people are pulling for you guys. Go Priscilla!
Thank you for your vulnerability. I've struggled with being overweight for a few years due to strong psych meds. It's been really hard. But seeing you still live a happy fulfilled life despite weight struggles... That's just so encouraging.
So happy you are feeling so well Priscilla! My prayers and blessings are with you throughout your journey!
I’m so happy for you!! And thank you for deciding to share your experience!!
Self image is so important. And so is health. Being obese myself, I appreciate you sharing your story and I’m glad to hear you are doing better. Abbie needs her Mama and I’m happy this is working out for you and your family so that you live longer, healthier lives! Love you all!
I haven’t watched the whole video but as soon as she said she’s comfortable with herself I immediately loved her even more. You are beautiful.
So proud of you!!! So happy for you and that you decided to share this. 💖💖
Priscilla your strength and bravery has inspired me to take charge of my weight loss journey. Thank you for being a positive person and positive influence on your viewers! You rock 😊
So glad you are sharing this. Congrats for doing this to get healthier. Please take care and don't go that long again without having a medical checkup.
I'm so so proud of you. I had gastric bypass 10 weeks ago! We've got this sister ❤
Proud of you Priscilla. I think that you should do a regular blog about this. I had bariatric surgery. It was the best think that I ever did for my health. Thanks so much for sharing this!
I'm watching this late, as usual, since I only discovered you guys fairly recently and am binging old videos, but I wanna say I'm happy you made a choice for your health. :-)
