[attorneymom35]

Rise Above

[pepsiann]

[peacheslovesjesus]

Girl friend, don't sweat it......if you are a CHRISTian, just plead the blood of JESUS against the fat, calories and sugar, in JESUS name...IT WORKS...but you have to CHRISTian...also, I will be having the surgey in May....I am praying the whole time....GOD bless you, sis....

[WinndysWorld]

Just watched all your videos. Your a total inspiration. You even inspired me to start my own video journal. I have surgery a week from Tues. Thank you for all you do!

[ThatzHotxoxo]

isnt it called the freshmen 15?

[07011755]

Amelia you are an inspiration to . I went from me and everyone else...I have had 3 surgery and have lost 110 pounds in one year...I went from 280 pounds and know I'm 171 pounds. My question to you. is it normal for someone like me that after i year have loss 110 pounds not tolorate food still I can not tolarate food....happy holiday's jenny

[TheBooisback]

Wow how can you be so mean to someone that is so nice in all their videos ? You are truly whats wrong in the world pharodwormhair !!  I think you are an inspiration Amelia and truly hope all your dreams are fulfilled

[PharodWormhair]

Even after surgery the pork-breast lives on. Lazy fat Americans can't even put down a fucking hamburger. Why go for a power-walk when you can get a doctor to do all the work for you? All it would have took is 30 FUCKING MINUTES OF EXERCISE THREE TIMES A WEEK. And you wonder why the whole world hates you fat yank wankers. Lazy cunt pork-tits.

[lynngaff]

Why does it matter if it is lost with surgery? ...... i dont understand the problem with that......? And if we are such lazy ass hole Americans how come with help other countries so much hmmm? How come we are basically the most giving country hmmm? How come we KICK ASS at the Olympics hmmm? Now how about you Get the FUCK off an American Youtube :] Jealous fucking prick

[sweetngroovygirl]

You are being honest, that is the first step to correcting what you need to do. I do admire you!

[sheziaholytree]

Hi Amelia. When you write your food journal for the day, do you write down what you eat after you have eaten or do you plan out what you are going to eat before hand? I food journal also but I find it easier to plan my meals ahead and calculate the calories so that I can keep better track of what I am eating.

[playboysgirl08]

You are Human lady... don't sweat it! You have been nothing but an inspiration from Day one to all!

*HUGS*

[metrolady72]

[angelbabi198127]

Hi, I have been watching your videos and getting all your information. I have my surgery on Jan. 12, 2010. I can't wait and I know I will be healthier and happier. Well I hope to hear from you soon. -Tina

[TheZenaMaria]

Welcome back!!! Great to see you! (Yes, I am new. But I've caught up on ALL of your vids! I feel like I've been here all along!)

[bbqgrippos]

You look great, no matter what the weight. And you seem so happy!!!!! Don't worry about eating, its hard to fight the beast( weight)

[LadyIgrayne]

Those evil McDonald's coupons! Glad you have purged the demons lol. Nice to hear from you.

I think you look great at that weight! Very nice update Thank you, good luck at school girly!

[zorak1704]

I'm close to getting rny. I was diagnosed with type 2 in August. I gave up McDs, about 80% of the carbs I was taking in,and all of my sugary junk. I'm was 431 in June and I'm now 376. I put in an hour and a half 5x per week at the gym. I can't wait to get this surgery over with so I can start the rest of my life.

[margodropshercargo]

Yeah, maintenance is hard. I'm up about 10 and freaking out. Thanks for being transparent and for helping everyone from pre-ops to those out a ways. Hugs, Margo

[katiejuly]

Big hugs to you, Margo! Don't freak out!

[xomeeganxo05]

I Love Sausage biscuits!! haha.

[kim12302]

Amelia, good for you for seeing the problem and dealing with it. You keep it real :-) Hugs, Kim

[shewulfwyn]

Glad to see you Amelia. I gained 70 lbs the year I was in LPN school. Basically because i was eating on the run. before surgery, I ate McD's breakfast every day...sometimes twice. LOVE the McSkillet Burrito. In fact, I love the whole menu. Hence...the surgery LOL. Thanks for being so honest and good for you in recognizing your needs!

[diggs1976]

you look better with a bit more weight on you. curvylicious.

[J2TheANNA]

you look gorgeous no matter what. you nerd you,LOL JK! :)...love ya! xo

[hlokaty]

Your comment about Micky D's putting crack into the butter LOL I felt the same way when they made the McGriddle sandwich I swear they sprinkle crack on it to get you hooked

[pladd04]

Hey Girlie, good to see you on here. It's been a long time. I know what you mean about college because I too am loving every minute of it. Sorry to hear about the McDonalds's addiction and glad you got through it. Talk to ya later :0)

[mamatika9]

Hey, girl! I bet having WLS really increased your math skills! Now, everything I eat revolves around the math- proportions, nutritional values, calories, etc! I lo

Nice job on your other classes, too!

You look great!

[allisonpacino]

Your hair looks great girl! It's been so long since I've seen ya...We should get together sometime...Congrats on doing so well in your classes!

[faithkp]

SO good to see you Amelia! Thanks for being so honest about your Sausage Biscuit Debacle. ;) You are human, and weight will forever be a struggle for us. But good to know that you can get a grip once again and get back on track!! That is what life is all about. Sounds like you are doing awesome in school too. Keep up all your hard work because great efforts are always rewarded ;)

[crazygal77]

Hair loss is a result of the chemicals from the surgery. Same for women who give birth and receive and epidural.

[headrickwife]

i am sooo proud of you. even tho i have not had any surgery for weightloss, i have struggled with it my entire life. i am 5ft. 3 inches and have been bouncing between200 to 124 and back again. i am currently 165 and i just wanted you to know that this will be always and forever a struggle. so keep it up and you will be okay.

[strongisfighting]

I've heard a theory that the real reason that WLS patients loose hair is because of too much protein.

[Scorpioangel71]

You lose your hair because of metabolic changes that occurs with WLS, it can also occur due to LACK of protein. You can use external products like rogaine, and/or dietary supplements to hopefully slow or eliminate hair loss. It is a very individual thing, some people experience litlte or no loss, and some people lose a noticeable amount.

[jenniferhenry35]

lookin good and ya hair thanks for the videos congrats on grades

[MizShaiOnex18]

ahhhh yes, the infamous Sausage and biscuit . Luckily for me I am never up early enough for McDonalds breakfast

[julieswahn]

Btw, it is pretty common for college students to gain weight so don't be too hard on yourself. Just keep an eye on it, as you are, you'll keep it in check. You sure carry your weight well, girl. But I know you will keep things in check.. you've worked so hard :) Love ya Ameilia!

[julieswahn]

So happy for you :) I went back to university at age 33 and had to start with Math 100 lol! But I worked hard and got an A, then took Math 101 and then 201! I will admit that I had to have a tutor for those two but I worked FOUR hours on homework each night and got a B+ in each. I was so proud! You are going to be the best nurse, Amelia.

[SherryLuka]

Good to see you and AWESOME grades, I am taking math 101 too, and it's not as difficult as I remembered it. Have a great weekend!

[BeckyInCa]

So nice to see you again.

[BelgiumChoco]

glad to hear that you are doing so well amelia! Thats right keep getting those A's!! best wishes and school and stay inspired.

[vitaminajizzle]

glad to see the update! i agree with you about the crack biscuits at mcd's. hope to see more from you!! and where did you get the new gadget?

[marinebulldog0309]

seriously McDonalds prolly puts crack in their food lol just kidding

[chewsus]

glad to see you again with another update!! it's crazy to me that i'm now (since I had my wls may 18th) just like 10lbs away from where you're at!! you look fabulous!! i'm still waiting for my hair to stop thinning tho:( it's not as bad as it was but it's still a little noticable

[TheBypassman]

Hey Amelia, I love all your videos. You were and always will be a big inspiration to the youtube WLC. Its cool to see you pop in to say hi and give us an update so long after the bulk of your journey. Thanks Garry 5 stars for you!

[changeisgood46]

Hmmm... sitting in class and checking your email... :-) (I'm a college professor!)

[MegaFierceness]

Hi I missed your videos Amelia and you look good but you really need to be careful I know you don't want to gain alot of weight after all the work you put in.

[rosethorn12010]

Very good to see another video of yours.. I think your doing an awesome job with school however the eating dont let it get the best of you again girl, go back on your videos and look how far you have come..Im gad to see that you realized your down fall and are correcting it...goodluck and I will be watching..

[katiejuly]

So so so so so glad to see you again - thanks for being honest about the ups and downs of maintaining. The struggle against the obesity monster is ongoing, as Nikki would say :) Big hugs, girl.

[TheDivineMissT]

Good to hear from you!  I have only recently become a fan and I'm glad you're still updating! You look great! My pre-op class is scheduled for Oct 28th and surgery is Nov 11th!

[ktnoodle]

I love and appreciate your honesty. I am also a college student and it can certainly be time consuming, but it pays off when you get those A's! Please feel free to stop by and take a look at my fresh new vlog...my surgery date is Oct. 30th. Take care and hope to hear from you again soon :)

[Losing4Life]

Mc D's and other fast food joints load there food with MSG. That is what gives them what we think is a good taste and hooks people into eating them.

[PBottomPoochies]

Good to hear things are going so well! Sorry about the Mickey D's. Yes, evil, they are! Just goes to show the problem we have always has to be kept in check...but you can DO this! Excited to hear how the whole nursing things works out...I'm wondering since you are a LMT, maybe Physical therapy or physical therapy assistant might be something you would be interested in? And yes, hair looks GREAT!

[Julsinmaine101]

Hi Amelia:)oh boys ya the speach & the movement didnt match up for sure...Glad to hear your back on track dont get lost in the fastfood fasttrack..Glad to hear your doing well in school:)

[AwesomeForever]

I am so glad to see you again.

Good to hear that your tests are going great for you.

Linda

[majormetamorphosis]

Your hair has gotten so long!!! You look great, so happy to see you!!

[KatNip2007]

Have you gained weight..Amelia???

[ronmarcoo]

She said she gained 15 lbs. Did you not listen to her???

[JabsMN]

I Was Thinking Of You Today. And Wow Hear You Are. It Was Great Hearing From Ya. How Are The Kitties & Hubby.

See Ya Lighter :)

Annette

[Fabydee]

Good to see you Amelia, Congrats on your success in school. It's been a while we'll have to get together again soon.. Fab

[AntoniaTakeTwo]

Thanks for the update.

So glad school is going well!

Sorry McDonalds got to you. Your human just tell yourself anything that has a drive up window can't be good!

I agree with your statement about hair loss. My Mom had surgery almost once a year ( poor thing ) and it always made he loose hair and it was always temporary.

I too think protein has ZERO to do with it.

Looking forward to more posts from you!

[schnauzerwoman2]

You look great, good to see your vids.

[dtaylor8303]

GREAT TO SEE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[angiebaby330]

good to see you again! you look good!

[YogiUToo]

I understand how busy you are, my daughter is in the last stage of nursing school, and working at the hospital as a CNA on weekends. Best wishes to you for great success. Hugs, Cami

[aaatsirk]

Hey lady. Love your videos. What's the update with your hair?

[ronmarcoo]

OMG...listen to the whole video before you post. She talks about it in the end!

[selaina48]

Great to see you again, and glad to hear how well you're doing in school.  Keep it up! Congrats!

[soapdoc]
