The Bariatric Center I went to says no drinking for 15 minutes before eating and not for 45 minutes after. After stage 5 it changes to 10 minutes and 30 minutes.
Thank you!
Thank you very much
Good advice 😊
I’ve been eating and drink sips of juice or water I’m afraid that probably I have stretch my stomach I had surgery 3 months ago.. is it possible? And cheated with some sugar and food was in resort for a week on vacation but I hope I could still go back on track and haven’t stretched my stomach.. I’ve lost 48 pounds in 3 months
I've lost 100lbs in 6 months! Best decision of my life!
Madison Mobley wow!! Great job!!!
amazing
Madison Mobley can I ask if this is with exercise and healthy eating? Sorry if this is a dumb question!
@@jumboshrump I had gastric sleeve surgery and exercise and eat healthy!
Madison Mobley so awesome! Proud of you for turning your life around!
Them: You just took the easy way out!
Me: Its the smart way into a healthy life, also I dont owe you an explanation because you dont pay my bills.
Yesss ✌
Gor gonio period
Love this!!!
i have received that exact same comment from 'friends'
So so true
I just had my gastric sleeve surgery on 3/31/21. I am so grateful you made all your videos. I truly needed to get alot of questions answered and you have helped.
And how are you feeling Laura? How are you doing? I’m scheduled to have it in 1 month.
Hi I am having mine aug 4
Had mine March 28!
Best decision in my life almost 4 months ago. I'm down 70 pounds since August 31st. I did have a setback last month with a bleeding ulcer. It's so nice to see someone else go through this with words of encouragement. I've gotten rid of all of my diabetic meds. Keep believing in yourself and that you can do it is my advice. God bless you❤
I've gone by my mirror and wondered who I was seeing and then realized, dummy, it's me. Who else would it be? You are so right about comparing one's own weight loss with someone else's weight loss. Everyone's weight loss journey is their own journey and no journey is the same. When you start comparing and finding yourself lacking, you invalidate your own success. We've all succeeded in our own way and we should always feel pride in our journey! I've said this on my own youtube channel and to several who are upset because they haven't lost what they felt they would or should. This journey is not easy, ever! Everyday is a challenge. If you are busy, criticizing your success, how will you meet the challenges ahead?
I’m 6 weeks out and down 56lbs. The powdered vitamins that the doctor gave me make me nauseous. So I just take regular vitamins now.
Same!! I thought it was just me. I had to take the regular ones.
I so needed this today. I'm a week away from surgery and really in my feelings the last couple of days. Major swings from I can do this myself to hating myself for needing this. Hopefully this will pass soon.
Praying for you!!
You got this hope it went well.
how did it go? are u happy x
Good luck...
Hi. Your comment says 1 year ago, so if you see this, how are you doing?
I love your statement about " give yourself some grace " definitely needed to hear it. I'm scheduled to have gastric sleeve this August and was looking for as much support as I can. I'm glad I found your videos.
You have become such a blessing to me. I will have my surgery on April 8, 2021. I'm having the gastric sleeve. I have been on a pre-op diet since the beginning of February I have lost 9 pounds so far. I start my liquid diet on March 25th. I hope and pray after surgery I can be as successful as you. Thank you for all your help and guidance. I follow all your channels. Thanks again and God bless you🌹
Thats less than 1 week. Hope you have a great surgery!
How you are doing?
Hey, everyone! Thanks SO much for watching! I wanted to let you know that I'm over on Instagram and I'm doing daily stories and sharing my journey over there too! Be sure to check it out! :) instagram.com/mylevel10life/
My Level 10 Life I'm on Instagram too! I'll follow you. I haven't talked about my journey though. I'm thinking about it.

@@orgonevibes2402 hi cheryl yes its been best thing i ever done
The way you speak and your voice feels like home. It’s actually therapeutic
I just started my path, had my 1st appt now hve my mental appt..1st step done.
I love watching ur videos
On my way to having the sleeve surgery. So glad I found your videos.
I am still far from my surgery but I have to rewatch this. This is good info, thanks!
Thank you so much for all of this information! I'm still trying to decide if I want to go through with gastric sleeve surgery so I really appreciate you sharing.
I’m just finding you and I have to thank you. I’m having surgery in 6 weeks. Your video ate helping me so much. Thank you.
I live in Hong Kong and I'm going to undergo Gastric Sleeve. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Thank You for your informative video
I’m 68, female and when I started thinking about gastric sleeve surgery I had talked to a man my age that had it done about 2 years ago. He was so glad he had it done. My sister had stomach stapling about 30 years ago, and she spends many days throwing up after a meal and went back to her former weight. So I really was thinking this was the way to go. I started the process. I am still in the many different dr. Visits, but my surgeon says he thinks I would make a good candidate. My dietician wasn’t so positive about it, and my friends are really scared for me. It can’t be undone. It’s PERMANENT! You can’t take it back once you’ve had it done. What if I fail? I’m really starting to have doubts now whereas before I was so excited. You mentioned about not going out anymore. I have a husband who needs to eat, too. How have you worked all this out? I’m not on FB anymore. And I don’t twitter or Instagram. How can I get positive support? There’s not much out there for women of my age having this done.
Any thoughts? Thank you for this video, and I’m so happy for you and how well it’s working for you.
what supplements are you on😊
Thank you, I’m scheduled for the sleeve in 2 months and trying to learn as much as possible
Me too and I’m trying not o be well informed.
My surgery is in May 2018 and I want to thank you for having this channel. All if you UA-cam folks help more than you know.
How did your surgery go?
My Level 10 Life ,thank you for asking. It went great. I had to take another week off from work because I still had pain in my incision where my stomach came out. I've lost 30lbs since. I feel great , except for this headache! I think I caught a bug.
Just found your channel! I just began the weight loss surgery journey. So inspired by your videos and I love that you share the good, the bad and the ugly! Thank you.
Thank you!
I struggle with loose skin. Advice WOULD BE .. it's hard to have this surgery and it's an ongoing battle but if you want it's not gonna come easy it's hard work and only you are accountable for your goal or not but it isnt gonna be Cinderella kinda journey and I tell them your body will change and your mindset too.
I'm having gastric bypass surgery this next Tuesday the 10th I'm nervous and excited.
HOLOSTORM 3 MINNESOTA Congratulations on joining the family
@@michellegetshealthy6249 thank you
After losing 130 pounds on keto and then gaining it back in a year, I’m scheduled for surgery next week.
Thank you for caring.
Thanks for this video , I am pre surgery and I feel inspired by your video, thank you
Thanks for the upload. Very useful information.
I do feel you on the supplements! I learned no to mess around after I become anemic & B12 deficient!
Thank you you are an inspiration to me I'm trying to get into have barbaric surgery and you're been a tremendous help to me thank you so much
My best friend died young of cancer earlier this year after fighting like hell to live. She'd done it all right, physically fit, vegetarian since age 8, had quit smoking etc. A few days before she died I quit smoking. Id tried to quit many times and couldnt but this time, watching her fight, it inspired me. I have fought my weight since age 16 when I got the depo shot. Since then Ive gained and lost 100lbs 3x and gained it back w each pregnancy, kept it off between, regained w next. After baby 3, I have tried for 6 yrs w only a 20lb loss that I maintain but thats it. I have my VSG consult tomorrow. Its amazing the fire under your butt to get healthy and stop taking health forgranted when you watch someone you dearly love fight for their life and lose the fight. Makes you realize, intentionally harming your health is soooo dumb and entitled and ridiculous. Makes you determined to appreciate it all so much more and fight whatever smaller personal battles that you can change to maintain health.
You're amazing! Thank you for the encouragement! Keep blessing people!
Christina Addison thank you!!
@@MyLevel10Life how much do you weigh now?
@@PrincesasdeAdanYRene 150
Thank you. Needed this!
You're so welcome!
I'm doing this for my health I've got diebeties I'm 204 pounds I'm doing this for me and my cat and God's in on this
I'm ready for this it's just filled out the application yesterday and I have a doctor's refusal for the surgery at Duke , im wanting the surgery hopefully get rid of diebeties and get rid of all the medications that I'm on !!!
I can’t wait to do my gastric sleeve soon 😍 I seen good results about it for 10 years now
I am exactly a week post op today and I totally agree with you. This liquid diet is hell. I actually had a mental breakdown yesterday.
I have my breakdowns too. We just keep pushing forward!! It's so hard! Stay busy!
Elijah Muniz I’m feeling like that today I’m 3 days post op
I had mines January 6,2022 and I have lost 22 pounds! I thought my scale was broken 🥴🥴😂😂😂.. Monday my doctors told me I will get to have a banana! I am excited because I am like you just frustrated!
How are you now?
It's only a few weeks, it lets your insides heal, I felt the same way, I wondered what the hell I did to myself, but each step gets a little better😊
Going to have my surgery on the 17th of May. Thanks for all the great videos 👍🏻
Thanks you for all these good tips. I will definitely put them to use. I just started a channel and I'm one month post-op so I'm learning new things everyday.
Great advice!
I been struggling really with sweets bad but having VSG save my life ! U are awesome 👏 thank you for encouraging word 😁
M Faith VSG thank you 🙏🏻
I am quite a bit older, I am 52 and getting ready to have my gastric sleeve surgery on August 16th, I am so so ready for this surgery! I have always been heavy, I don't ever remember a thinner me. I have tried so many things and this is a wonderful tool. I have Rheumatoid Disease and Lupus and I am hoping this will help with my inflammation. I was thinking of creating a channel, I have seen a lot of younger people I thought maybe to try and reach out to older people. I am nervous and scared but I am so ready!! Congratulations to you!
Melissa I would be very interested in how everything goes. I am 53 and just got referred for the surgery.
Just found your channel and I Love it! My surgery date is June 24 2020.
Thanks for sharing please do a vitamin video or show us what you take. I am on my second appointment before my surgery hopefully by next week I will have a date
Even though I haven’t had surgery, I am on a weight loss journey and I find your message so inspiring. Your advice is useful all around. I’m so glad I’ve taken the time to get to know you a little more. It wasn’t until connecting that I realized food addiction is my problem. I’ve come to understand that I am a total sugar addict, I knew that starting the year off when I cut sugar... but it’s more than that. I am addicted to food. Food is what I always default to. I’m glad your videos helped me see that because it’s helping me to make much needed changes. 💕
Aww, thank you so much for your sweet words, friend! The problem with food is that it is legal and socially acceptable to eat. A lot of people just don't realize it's an addiction right away. But food can be healthy and amazing. I think recognizing the problem, being transparent about it and talking about it helps others to realize if they have a problem too. Sugar is SO damaging! I definitely still struggle with that. Thanks for sharing, friend!
Thankyou for this video xx
You are my life saver I admire u,
Thank you have really enjoyed watching a lot of your videos. Have surgery booked in 16 days 😁😎 I'm a new sub
Hi. I really enjoying watching your videos. I am scheduled to have surgery in September. Watching these videos are very helpful. I need all the help I can get. I’m new to this.
Very nice vid, Thank you for sharing. The part about the process being overwhelming is very relevant for me right now. I've had major health issues for several years and I actually love my big body and prior to my health deteriorating I was never bothered by my weight, plus I was always to scared to even contemplate that type of surgery because a few ppl I knew way back did not fare very well after surgery, so I said I'd never go that route. Well now that my health has taken so much control over my life and mental health that within a year I will be looking at having to use a walker or be stuck in bed and I'm only 48yo. I've had knee issues since high school and just dealt with it(no narcotics) no surgery would be done because I was over 300lbs(350). So I just dealt with it, then my heart issues started and they had to put a Pacemaker and defibrillator in on 2012. A year later I had my first cardiac arrest and had to stop driving and give up my career of 25yrs and ultimately had to stop work all together. Then my knee gets worse and then my good knee starts to deteriorate after a joint bleed in March 2020 and because of my multiple cardiac arrests(9 as of July 2020) I have no warning symptoms when it begins. So if I'm standing I drop to the floor which has now led to hip issues, which has now left me with needing double knee and double hip replacement but they wont do surgery because of my weight. So when my "good knee" started buckling when I walked and I almost fell 3x's , I broke down in tears and was like "I can't do this anymore, I'm at war with my own body and I'm not going to be around much longer" and I said to myself "this is the only control you can have over your life, you gotta do the wls". I cried to my daughter, to my Auntie when I told them that very same day. I'm a very strong minded and willed person and after everything I've dealt with this has been the scariest decision I've ever had to make but I know it's my only chance to have some quality of life left. So today I met with bariatric surgeon in my area but because of my heart issues they can't do my surgery locally which even though I already knew that was going to be a possibility it was still upsetting. BUTTTTTT me being me, I got myself together, pulled my big girl panties up said "it is what it is" and they proceeded to get me set up to see their chief of surgery at this other hospital. So when you made the comment about the process being "overwhelming", I was like OMG HELL YEAH, SMH! I'm scared shitless but I'm an optimist and I've been living in hell this long so there's only one other way to look at my decision. I'm enjoying your page and look forward to the rest of your vids, take care🥰
Thank you for this video and all the others! Scheduled for gastric sleeve 8/31/21 🙌🏼
You are so welcome! Good luck on your journey!!🙌
New Subscriber here..... Love the Vids I have watched of yours so far..... My Surgery is Scheduled for Monday, November 23rd, 2020..... I'm Sooo Excited Yet Scared as Heck to take this Journey........ Looking Forward to watching more of your videos..... Thank You.....
I’ll be having my vgs next march and been really nervous and with second thoughts. Found your channel yesterday and it was a blessing. I’m 60 years old and been struggling with my weight almost all my life. This is my last chance to live a healthy life. I’m from Puerto Rico and luckily my health insurance covers the surgery and later the reconstruction. Thanks for your advise
How are you now? I'm 2 weeks out
I agree with you about the soda.It is a trigger for me.

Luv this video thanks for sharing 😘😘😘
thank you!
Man I love u soooo much u are soo much help I’m going to have my cardiologist apt in a week and I’m kind of nervous
Your awesome enjoyed the video
What vitamins should I take?? I’m preparing for gastric sleeve surgery and I’ve really been enjoying your videos!! Thanks for the brutal honesty of your journey!!!
Olive M. I take doTERRA lifelong vitality
I can't eat bad stuff even if I tried...get full with 4 bites of anything...have to wait 2 to 3 hrs to eat a bit more & sometimes I have my breakfast left overs for lunch or my lunch leftovers for dinner....I am 3 months post op...😬
How much is the weight loss
I'm 4 months post op now & I've lost 60 lbs so far.. yay!! I'm feeling great. VSG surgery has been the best decision I made in 2018. It has been a great tool to help lose the weight...👍
I’m only 9 days out from my surgery but I honestly don’t feel full when I have my protein shake or soup if whatever. I’m not hungry but I definitely don’t recognize the feeling of fullness. Is this normal?
@@JANJOHNSON59 its completely normal. You have to leave eating so you can feel your stomach. If you feel full or some kind of pain in stomach or even in chest it means you have ate right amount. But if you feel like you can have more even after leaving food for 3 to 4 mins. Then you can have few bites more..!!!
So true postop diet is SO OVERWHELMING 😭
Great video Erin! We are 4-year vets and it's amazing how many are just starting. It has been life saving for us. Check us out when you can! Thank you for giving back to this community!
at 4 years out are u able to eat more than 4 bites?
I feel like this is the only part to this surgery I hate is only being able to eat 4-5 bites
Congrats
I’m having RNY on Jan. 14, 2019... major apprehension right now, and now hubby is telling me “don’t lose too much weight”... UGH
Hi Erin, I just found your channel, you are so informative. I'm 54 and have struggled with weigh for ever, and have tried ever diet out there over the years. I'm preparing to have surgery on 9/24/18. I very excited. I'm very blessed to have my husband and children's support. I do have a question my doctor has suggested to start the use of the different vitamins in patch form have you or do you know of anyone who can speak on these. Thanks so much for sharing your journey.
I've had my surgery 7 weeks ago. Every time I go to the doctor I have lost a couple more pounds but when I look in the mirror I don't see the change so then I second guess myself I wonder is my gastric sleeve working am I eating right this is a very trying thing I just wish I knew cuz sometimes I don't think I'm doing the right thing
Hi Elizabeth I too am 54 years old and having my surgery in a couple weeks. How are you doing these days with the outcome? I realize your comment was years ago but I would love to hear how you’re doing now.
I am going to upload vids about my surgery I'm getting in two weeks. You have been a big inspiration thank you. I got upset the other day. My mum had told her dad that I was having a slave done. When I hung him rather then saying hello or asking how I was he just cracked in about taking the easy way out.... His words not mine. Nothing has been easy around my weight or medical illnesses my whole life. I pretty much fainted just getting in the washing the other day.
Sleeve *rung * sorry. On my back up phone and I can't type on it
Vitamin recommendations please!
Hey there ! I’m starting my journey! Thank you 😊 for all your videos ! What vitamin do I need
I love thrive: erinbranscom.thrive123.com/
I'm going to an appointment tomorrow to start the very beginning of my weight loss journey, possibly, doing the gastric sleeve. I'm honestly, absolutely terrified. Can you give me some hope?
I can. This process has transformed me mentally, spiritually, emotionally AND physically. I'm living my best level 10 life. It's not perfect, but it's beautiful and it is worth it. You've got this, Margaret! Get it girl! Go claim your transformation!
What vitamins shld I start buying? I will be having surgery probably next mth or so. And I am not rich! So I need to start buying and taking now. 😊 thank you!
I’d love to hear what vitamins you suggest we take. Right now I’m taking calcium supplements and my bariatric vitamins. I’m five weeks post sleeve gastrectomy. I’m down somewhere around 40 pounds right now.
Please help with vitamin supplement ♥️♥️Thank you love your videos so encouraging 🥰🌺🥰
Bye I did all the thing u said and I’m living great💔💔💔💔
I will be recording my journey having revision surgery in Mexico from sleeve to mini gastric bypass on May 1 2018
VSG TO MGB 2018( medical tourism) oh no not Mexico
LeeAnn McCoy went and already came back a month ago. Best treatment I have ever had and not one complication
I need your list of vitamins
I am also in the same que my tests n all are going on.. But ppl are making me afraid that i will have no energy after this surgery... Bla bla.. They make me afraid but what i have seen on UA-cam is so positive.. Wish me luck
My energy is endless now!!!
The only sugar I have ever really consumed (besides in fruit) is in the one pump of torani syrup I add to my coffee. I use sugar free also. Sometimes I want a treat. So I go ahead and let myself have that one pump with my coconut milk. 🤷♀️ I’m already a keto person that drinks a ton of water… my struggle really wasn’t food addiction at all. My surgeon was super confident that this surgery would be incredibly successful for me due to my eating habits. I am 17 days out and down 30 lbs! I do have a suggestion! Once you’re cleared for full liquids (and even purée or soft foods) juice! Have a green juice and add protein… that way you’re getting in all those nutrients without hurting your stomach! God bless and good luck everyone!

What vitamins Erin?
My biggest struggle had been my kids ( grown adult kids) who constantly treat me like a child telling me what I am and can't have I swear it makes me want to give up
You know YOU best. I'm sure their trying to be helpful and remind you but it seems like it might feel a bit condescending. Definitely express your feelings but remember you're in control. You got this!
I have been starting to talk to my husband about the sergery. I am looking in to it. I also am wanting to wait till I have 1 more child. I only have 1 and had miscarriages so I'm waiting for my last baby. I want to get better for my kids and myself. I just need to get info.
