Hey dude - just wanted to say a big thank you for your videos. I decided to commit to the surgery 3 weeks ago and was absolutely terrified. Your videos have really helped with calming my nerves and giving me insight into what to expect. I hope you are well, good up the good work
Hi John, your videos are timely for me, as I’m due to have a gastric bypass on 13 July - only found out yesterday, so I’m kinda terrified and excited at the same time if you know what I mean. Keep up the good work of making the videos, it’s brilliant!
Hi Mel! Amazing news is that! Sprung it on you haven’t they! But alas, it’s gonna change your life forever. Thanks for watching! Good luck with everything and keep me posted! John x
Well done John. Your to face videos b4 about your editing and hardware picked me up earlier on in the year along with your encouragement. So it's a privilege to share you journey. Best Wishes Paul
I had to shave my beard last year to get fitted for an N95 mask because I'm on my company's emergency response team. I shaved the day of the fitting, and then let it grow right back. It was back to normal within weeks (though a bit more grey!) You can do it man! We've all got your back!
Yep hahaha what a talking point eh?! Who knows, I may even turn my beard shaving into an episode for my channel! Cheers for the support brother Appreciate it
So presumably you've now had your surgery! I hope all went well and you're on the mend! Hope you can check in with us soon, as we are all anxious to hear how things went!
Hi David! Yeah, I’m now home from a 3 day stay in hospital. Procedure was a success. Not without it’s rough times. I’m in a lot of pain, can HARDLY drink anything because I’m so restricted but here’s to better healthier times. It’ll be rough for a while but the real work starts now :) Really appreciate you reaching out. Really means a lot
I do really really appreciate your kind words and thinking about me. Really humbling to know. I’ll always remember it 👍🏼 Gonna be putting up a new video in the next few days of my time in hospital so keep an eye out 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I had to do 3 weeks on the LRD the 1st 4 days on shakes only was horrible and made me poorly they changed me to a strict food one after that and thankfully I was looking after my Nan so it kept me focused but day 10 and 17 were hard days and felt like I could eat a scabby horse so just drank loads and loads of water x x X
Morning John ,your doing great 👍 I did laugh 😂 at the two chairs 🪑 only , there was about five lol , just get clean shaven you will still look handsome, and you can grow a lovely fresh beard 🧔🏻, good luck , best wishes margaret xx
Your support and watching my videos is fantastic Margaret :) thank you so so much. Really means a lot. If you can share it for me tho that’ll help me even more! The beard thing is a very taboo topic hahaha
Hey John, I haven’t gone through the same expats you but I remember going through the sugar withdrawals the first week of my weight loss journey and I was also feeling snappy. I just withdrew until they stopped as well. Catching up on what I’ve missed
Yeah everyone’s different right? I’m gonna make a video about head hunger for my next one because it’s very very real. I was never a sweet tooth before, always carnivorous so that’s what my head wants but my stomach doesn’t want it at all. Emotional hunger & Physical hunger are real

Oh no your poor beard 🧔🏻 You can grow a brand new one post op 👍🏻
Glad all went well at your appointment 😉
😂😂😂
Can't imagine going through the liquid pre op diet 😄😄. I cut back on carbs a few months ago and I was about to punch someone during the first week
It’s rough, but when you get into the swing, it’s fairly ok!

Thank you so much for tuning in!
How long was your process; testing,insurance approval,surgery date?
Hi Wanda! All in all….. 6 years. 2 of that was Covid. So 4 years technically:)
How long do u have to do the one meal a day diet before surgery
Glad it went well mate! Is it slowly becoming more real with each appointment etc?
Hell yeah. It’s full on madness on every level.
Nerves. Excitement. All in one ha
I'm having mine done in Turkey and I'm shitting myself
Brutal and honest: I love this. It’s expected! You’ve got nothing to fear tho honestly
