can you show your outfit? it's adorable from what i can see. also, please make a coupon vid because i have been looking for good and free online coupon sites. :)

[divataunia]

Next time I wear that outfit, I'll snap a quick pic. lol There's a coupon video up now, but you can also go directly to my blog (over in the more info section) for coupon sites. Thanks!

Taunia you have been such an awesome inspiration to watch since I stumbled on this community and you have given me such hope for what is to come for me. I just wanted you to know!

Also, I'd love to know what coupon sites you use!  ;)

[divataunia]

Thanks so much for your support! I think I'm going to record a video about the coupon stuff later today or tomorrow, and I'll also post it on my blog. Thanks again!

All I can say is Amen sister! I had that same moment and it is SCARY to see the scale! Thanks for posting this video!

[divataunia]

It definitely WAS scary. That sounds ridiculous when the scale says 140....but it's the fear of it creeping back on. Thanks for your support!

Most people do gain back at least SOME weight. It's "normal." By five years post - it's something like 50% of excess weight lost is regained in whateverpercent of people with RNY.

Just keeping that in mind can help you avoid it.

This has been a very helpful video. Thanks for making this real. Yes, people are always telling me that they know someone who gained all the weight back. Its like people want you to fail. They just watch me and what I eat. even as much as commenting on the nutritional value of what Im about to eat. crazy.

P.S. Love that top. You look lovely.

Thanks for this - I'm already having those "freak outs" too, though I'm a week out. You know, that whole, "Will I be the only person this doesn't work for?" Anyway, I just had my WLS on July 21 - last week. I just started posting videos, too, if you're interested in subscribing. :)

[neecyd63]

Great video. I liked the statement re: people ensuring you realize you can gain it all back if you aren't careful... like REALLY? huh whoda thunk! lol Make a great day :o)

[rxg2425]

I always love your videos. Awesome attitude.

Girl ... I gained 4 lb last week, nearly lost my mind. My sister thought I was nuts (sister, who has had lap band). She said "seriously, you're worried about 4 POUNDS?!" ... and yes, I was! Took me 2 days to lose it after I realized it. I really paid attention to getting in my protein & fluids, and it just worked and the weight came right back off. YES, we have to remain focused that it CAN come back. And freaking out is normal. Hopefully, it'll keep me healthy!
