Hey guys!! First thing I wanted to say was...My surgery got date got changed from Feb to November 19nth YAAY!!

 

Next I wanted some possible advice please!!

I started making YouTube videos to share in a light silly way what it's like to be a big girl and it's lots of fun I don't really get that many views but I have a blast doing it and all my friends on social media know about it, I just realized that I have no idea what to tell anyone after surgery when my focus of the videos is going to change I guess, and I'll hopefully be losing weight lol. Do you think I should just stop making videos? I don't want to tell my social media groups about the Rny just as a personal preference, but now I feel like I dug a question grave lol. 

Thanks your opinions are always awesome and I appreciate it all!!!

 

Heres my link if any of you want to see what I mean !! 😭😭

It's up to you wether you want to stop the videos or not.  You won't be able to the "big girl" thing any more though.  If you want to continue doing videos, you could do a "series finale" saying Good Bye to the Big Girl! just before your surgery date. You don't have to say that you've had WLS if you don't want to.  You could just make a statement that you have decided that you need to change your life style, and you need to let go of the Big Girl.  Then document how you are feeling as you progress in your journey with your new lifestyle.

If you do decide to keep the blog, it would be one way to watch yourself then and now, as well as the progression that you made.  Even if you make them and not post them.

I wish you the best in your decision.

This journey is gonna be a long one and I'm sure there will be loads of video worthy moments / milestones along the way ! I love the you tube videos and I'm sure you will help some people with your sense of fun and lighthearted approach to this experience . 

Keep it up girl !

But .....like you say ...There may be some earlier dates available ....gotta put my positivity knickers on and get on with it !!! Lol .....

I checked out your page - very funny!! How you proceed is totally up to you. It's just like people in real life. Some may be accepting, some negative, you don't know how people react until you tell them. If/when you tell them is your call. You mention you don't want to tell them, and that's totally fine. When you lose weight of course people will notice and you may change how you feel, or you may not. It's your life and your business.
