to my health journey! My name is Katherina, and I am documenting my journey after undergoing Gastric Bypass Roux-en-Y surgery on December 22, 2022. Follow along as I share my experience and progress. From my highest weight of 356 pounds in January 2020, I've been determined to improve my health and overcome conditions like diabetes, hypothyroidism, high blood pressure, and endometriosis. As a stroke survivor, I'm committed to preventing another one. I'm a proud mother of two boys and a stepmother to a wonderful young lady, and with the love and support of my family, friends, medical team, and the strength from a higher power, I'm dedicated to conquering my food addiction and overcoming binge habits. On this channel, I'll share both my struggles and successes, hoping to provide value, motivation, and encouragement to those facing similar challenges. Join me on this journey to achieve mental and physical well-being. Welcome! In this video, I discuss my sixth month after Gastric Bypass Surgery, providing insights into my weight loss progress, inches lost, and the foods I consume during this post-op stage of my journey. Being one year post-op is a transformative experience, as the body adjusts and the results of the surgery become more apparent. The initial weeks after surgery can be challenging, with strict dietary guidelines and the recovery process. However, as time passes, you'll witness significant weight loss and improved overall health, reducing the risk of obesity-related diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. In this video I share my strugglers with the Pre-Op Bariatric Liquid Diet meant to shrink the liver prior to surgery. I hope you enjoy !

I had my gastric bypass surgery 1/1989. 35 years ago when it was fairly new. They didn’t make patients do the liver shrinking diet, meet a nutritionist or therapist. You just went in to the hospital, had surgery, saw the surgeon one more time afterwards and you were done. I’m so happy that things have changed for the better. I started at 310# and today I am 144# and my knees appreciate it. Good luck to you. You’re doing wonderful and a great inspiration to the new generation of weight loss candidates.
I'm so glad to read your message. I love hearing from people who have had the operations a while back. I'm so glad to read that you're doing well. THANK YOU for watching my videos. I truly appreciate it.
That sounds so hard! Glad you made it through.
It was honestly the hardest part of the process. I am now 14 months post op and it seems like a distant memory now. I just released a video today, reflecting on the journey. I can't believe it's been 14 months! What about you? Have you had the operation? Are you considering it?
I am just doing the diet now! Started today. I am doing meal replacement shakes and the one I had this morning was nice. Hoping it stays that way and my taste doesn't change
Awesome, where are you from? Have you had the surgery yet? Keep me posted!
I start my pre-op liquid diet in 8 days! I don't have to have Opti-fast brand, but basically it's 2 weeks of protein shakes, milk, broth, sugar-free pudding and jello, unsweetened applesauce, and light yogurt without any pieces. I'm going to use my ice cream maker to freeze premier protein chocolate shakes for a different texture and pretend it's a treat!
So you'll be having surgery any day now :) Hope you're doing well!
Hi Nicole! Where are you from? Have you already had the operation? How are you feeling? Keep us posted :)
So glad I only had to do clear liquids 3 days pre-op
Hi Pennie! 3 days is great! I ended up doing 3 weeks instead of 2. Worst time of my life LOL. Where are you in the journey now? Keep me posted and THANK YOU so much for watching my videos :) I just released a new one today!
@@thistothatlife almost 5 weeks post-op. So excited to introduce meats and veggies on March 2. I'm down 26.5 pounds and feeling great!
Tomorrow is my last day of the Modifast diet, and I hated it. I have never been so obsessed with food as I have been the last two weeks.
OMG YES! It's sooooo true! The more you can't have something, the more you want it. Where are you now in your journey? Did you already have the operation? Keep me posted. I just released a video where I look back at the different phases and I can't believe it's been 14 months already. I am wishing you lots of patience and success xoxox
Hi there, I am starting the liquid diet for surgery on Wed next week. They have me using Boost high protein instead of Optifast, for some reason. I hope I can stomach 5 containers of this for 28 days. Yes, my liquid pre-op diet is 28 days long.
Oh man.... I don't envy you. I hated that stage but looking back, it tough me how to persevere and deal with my eating disorder and learned to find other ways to cope with myself. In my opinion, this stage was the hardest so keep pushing through, it will get easier afterwards, I promise. You're going to do GREAT. Keep me posted :)
I’m on day 3 of my preop diet. I work from home so it’s not hard so far but my cycle started the same time 😂 So I am actually retaining fluid like crazy am craving a nice steak. I was given the option of my own protein powders and shakes as long as they fit the parameters. I actually found a chicken soup powder that taste good warmed. So I’m not overwhelmed with sweet.
That's GREAT! Where are you now? Have you had the surgery yet??? If so, how are you feeling? Keep in touch, I'd love to hear your story. Wishing you all the best on your health journey, and THANK YOU! for watching my videos :)
The day you asked was surgery day. Feeling good now the main thing is to make sure that I am hydrated.
Hi I start my pre- op diet Feb 17,2024, surgery on March 2,2024. So scared!
March 2nd is right around the corner. You're going to do amazing. No stress. Leave it in the hands of God and trust that you'll be taken care of. Wishing you lots of strength, love and patience. Keep me posted :)
On day 6 of my 2 week liquid diet. Allowed 4 shakes a day, 2 cups of broth, 1 cup of raw vegetables and water (allowed tea and coffee but I don’t like neither). It’s going good. I’m a little hungry, but not craving too much. I am very emotional. I have my gastric sleeve surgery April 18th. Kind of scared. Should I be ? lol
OMG you're done the ;liquid diet now. How are you? How are you feeling? I hope you heal quickly. Keep in touch :)
