    I've learned from having VSG since 2015 you don't need the toddler plate. You can basically use salad plates which are the same size.

    Thank you! This was super helpful. My surgery is this Friday (Jan 27, 2023), and I have been slowly preparing for all these food phases. I used to do keto, so to hear you did keto throughout is a great relief. I'll stick to keto for at least the first year (though I know I'll miss mashed potatoes, lol). You look amazing! Thanks again for this.

    OMG out of all the videos I’ve watched ahead of my surgery November 1st, yours have by far been the most informative. I, too, am an older woman and definitely want pointers on how to best eliminate the excess skin after VSG. I’m interested in knowing your workout regimen. I look forward to surgery, though a bit nervous, and look forward to following your journey post VSG. FYI, I’ve sent a follow request on Instagram as well as subscribing to your KZread channel. Thanks again for the inspiration and congrats on your success after surgery. YOU LOOK AMAZING!!

    Hello, great video. I love the idea of the kids dinnerware the ball in the plates.. I’m officially one month out from VSG surgery and have been using regular dinnerware, but I will definitely be getting some children’s plates and bowls. Also, the vitamin B melts I think I need that as well. Thank you for all the suggestions.
