While I found your channel as a result searching for those plus size hauls, I stayed because of your personality and level of confidence. I’ve recently gone back to watch come of your first videos and can see how your confidence has just blossomed. I’m very excited for you and cannot wait to see your progress throughout. Definitely won’t be going anywhere. Excited to see future clothing hauls as well. And yes, I have gotten a few items as a result of your videos! Good luck and please feel free (at least in my opinion) to share your excitement or any frustrations you may have. I’m sure most on here are cheering you on!!

The diet actually makes your liver LESS soft. A thick, fatty liver is very soft. So much actually that it often breaks or tears when handling. It's like jello. When doing a very strict low cal low carb diet the liver starts giving up it's glycogen stores for your energy and that process shrinks and firms up the liver. Learnt this from Dr. Pilcher's channel :)

During your struggles, remember, your fans LOVE you! We are proud of you and we are rooting for you! YOU GOT THIS!!

Thank you so much Cheryl!! I appreciate so much that I have so much support, it honestly means the world! 💗

I'm currently going through the process of getting the surgery done with the NHS so these videos are a massive help. I HATE LIQUID diets, protein shakes etc.

This is so crazy to watch someone else’s LRD. I’m having the sleeve on 12/30, obviously in america, but our reduction diet is the same regardless of weight and from what I’ve seen it’s incredibly strict. Two weeks: protein shake, protein shake, dairy snack (three choices), meal (4oz of lean protein and 2 cups max of non starchy veg). Minimum 64oz of liquid including protein shake, only from an approved liquid list. That’s it for the day. I started on the 16th and I’ve lost five lbs in the last three days, which, cool, but I’m wondering why it’s so strict. I’m going to keep doing it, but lord have mercy.

I just wanted to say how useful ( and reassuring) I am finding your videos. I am due to have my gastric bypass this Thursday, 25/7/24 and after seeing so many (warning type) videos, I really needed to see some positivity. You have provided me with this, so thankyou for sharing your story , from the bottom of my heart ❤

So glad it all went well! Thank you for sharing this as it's really interesting. I've never thought about surgery myself but in your previous video when you explained how you're feeling in your body - I really related, so I truly hope its life changing for you 💗

I’m on the exact same LRD as you some I assume I’m going with the same company as you did. I got 4 weeks to do though…halfway through at the moment but I’m struggling! Thank you for your videos! I’m finding them very comforting!

Please keep us updated. I had WLS last year. It's hard but worth it. Congratulation

I am of regular weight but i still love all your vlogs..size has nothing to do with it. But i am glad to hear that you are on the mend! Wishing you every success with your pending weight loss journey

Oh Trina, I hear you - the highlight of my day is my ML banana and custard yoghurt 🤣 I'm a Diamond member of SW and I still stick to the basics like Mullerlite. I'm always so aware that, if I let go of the reins, I will end up back where I started - over 11 stone heavier, so it's a life long commitment. You are doing so well, it must have been incredibly difficult to stick to such a restrictive diet - I take my hat off to you xx When you do your Q&A could you please touch on why you opted for the band instead of the gastic sleeve. I must admit my ignorance on the area and I know there must be pros and cons to each. So glad your recovery is going well and excited to share more of your journey with you. Take care xx

What was weight before and after? Thanks

You are amazing!!!!! I am 2 and a half years out... Just remember to trust the process!!!! It is the best choice I made for my health. Thank you for sharing!!! You'll help a lot of people!!!

Oh wow Trina been away for a week so binging your videos. So pleased you’re out the other side! Will look forward to your journey . I’m on a meal replacement diet for diabetes remission and on 4 shakes/ soups a day it’s hard but it’s going to have an impact on my health longer term. Tbh I prefer this as it removes choice from my diet as clearly i don’t make good decisions! Good luck with your journey x

Wow, I am so jelly. I was on the LRD for 5 months, my surgeon said he wanted to see hardcore commitment. BUT congrats again!! 😩❤

@@TrinaLouise It's been nearly a year post-op. I got a gastric sleeve, due to being anaemic, PCOS and having various inefficiencies in vitamins and minerals. It was hard in the beginning. I had barely gone though 2 weeks, before I wanted to quit. My surgeon, when I spoke to him about this looked at me calmly and asked what size casket I would like? For as big I was he would give me a year or 2 before I would have died. I remembered feeling flustered and flabbergasted. But it was honestly, it was the kick I needed. Whenever I began to falter, I would look at pictures of caskets and It killed any sorts of craving I had (if a bid morbidly). After i had the surgery, I saw weight loss immediately. One thing that surprised me the most, was after surgery just how mobile and not in pain I was. But the biggest change was my relationship with Food. The first few weeks, I didn't want to even look at food. I would get queasy just the thought of eating. I suddenly saw just how out of control my portion sizes were. I didn't realise just how many calories per day I was eating, and how much sugar there was in the tiniest things. What i had perceived as "healthy" before, had turned out to be more unhealthy than i thought. It was like my trust had been broken regarding food and nutrition labels. I was suddenly more conscious about what I put in my body. I had to up my proteins, almost no greens and veggies (which was baffling). But the result speaks for it self, I went from 230kg to 153kg now. One advice I will give you, is never EVER compare yourself to others in the same journey. You might think oh why is she loosing 7kg in a week and I've only lost 4. Its different for everybody, your body is different. Weight lost is never linear, and you most definitely go though weight gains and plateaus. When they occur, don't panic for its a natural thing. It's just your body trying to catch op with the rapid weight loss. But I can't tell you just how much happier and proud I am for you. Enjoy it babe, you deserve it ❤️

@@Courtneyburns90 to be honest, that has been my respons for as long as I could remember. Whenever anyone, be it mum, family, friends or even strangers, I would tell them Fuck that and eat until I almost passed (and gained massive weight). But I want to live for myself and my future. I took the responsibility for my own actions and are now bettering not just my life, but the quality of living ❤️

You look bloody good for someone not long after surgery! Will be cheering you on, on your journey!! xx ♥

Congratulations and we are all proud of you a very brave decision prayers

Hi I am 7 days in too my 14 day LRD.....I am following the milk diet ....all I can say skinny syrups have been a life saver!!!!! So looking forward to you documenting your journey I will be 2/3 weeks behind you !!! Send love and good vibes xx

Way to go that looks like it was so hard! I get 1200 calories for 12 days and then 2 days of full liquid! Thank you for your positivity and encouragement ❤

Wow I never knew so much was involved with your operation! Hope you're doing well💖

Thank you so much for sharing this process as it’s something I am pretty desperate to do myself. I was wondering if you would be having a Q&A as I’m particularly interested in the very beginning of the journey ie seeing your GP and what you needed to do to be referred for the surgery. I’m hearing a lot about different tiers when I’m researching but it’s not making a great deal of sense to me! I’m going to be following your progress avidly and again, thank you so much for giving us safe and valuable information which will really help ❤

I am so happy for you!!! You deserve a healthy and fulfilling life! :)

You are truly an amazing inspirational woman! I admire you so much 🥰

Hi there ...I have been watching your channel since pre covid always enjoyable...I had gastric sleeve 4 years ago and I remember my pre op diet...4 Muller light yogurts and 4 weight watcher soups a day for 2 weeks..Thinking of you and your next stages..wishing you all the best...you go girl!!! 🤗

Man oh man.. I'm so envious of your two options for the LRD diet! When I had mine, my surgeon/clinic assigned to me ONLY the liquid diet for 3 weeks! It was absolute torture. I had to use Boost (was in Canada at the time), as it was the only dairy free option.. and near the end I couldn't even TOUCH the vanilla one and had to stick with chocolate cause it was just beyond nauseating. Even now if I think of Boost I want to vom! GRANTED.. 2 days before my surgery someone contacted me to see how I was and I mentioned the hardship of the liquid diet and she said "Oh, did they not tell you you're allowed (a similar lunch/dinner plan to yours) for dinners?!" I could have ended them all lol! So happy you had it through that portion though! It's an emotional journey I think too.. for those of us with complicated food relationships!

I'm getting my surgery in 3 days and I'm SOOOO FED UP of Boost protein shakes! 💀💀. Shakes are pasty and it makes my tongue pasty as hell too! Im only allowed the usual jell-o, broth ,coffee shit with up to 5 cups of selected veggies. The first 3 days I had such nasty migraines and hangry! 😂😂 Over saturated with spinach, i'm ready to go !!

Glad the surgery went well. Been thinking of you. Remember we are here for the good and bad times. Well done on the LRD diet. x x

I m on LRD for life. Been suffering with my organs for quite some time. Suffering with my liver from childhood .My regime is strickter but I suffer from Crohns too. oh yes low energy, I can relate to that. I m so happy to see you. Good recuvery XXX

Just had surgery Monday! Still on liquid diet now still! Two more days and I get to start full liquids!

I am in the pre op stage of my journey and waiting for a surgery date so I can begin my LRD diet ,am excited to follow along with you for your journey

Did you have this privately or on the NHS? x

Hope you’re feeeling well these videos are so helpful thank you so much

Glad everything went well with your surgery😊 🤗

You're looking radiant. Glad all went well.

Hi lovely 😊 Glad everything went well, loved seeing your experience with the LRD diet, I can only imagine how hard that was at times during the 2 weeks. Like you said though, it is all worth it to be in that better place that you want to be in . Can I ask, how was Adams reaction when you told him that you wanted surgery? I know from previous vlogs , that he is definitely very supportive of you, I hope your healing well lovely, can’t wait to see your next installation of your journey. Lots of love 💕 by the way 🍌 bananas in pyjama’s definitely remember that one 🤩

I'm on day 11 of 21 on the liquid (Optifast 900) diet. The first week was so sucky. I'm living in fear that my liver won't shrink even though I haven't cheated at all and I keep giving my liver little pep-talks..."come on liver, shrink shrink shrink, shrink your booty"...cuz I'm a weirdo starving person. I'd be so MAD (and I have literal nightmares about) if they went in and closed up again and said my liver didn't shrink enough and I had to do the diet again.

You’re amazing xx

This is the stage I'm so nervous about. My 1st meeting with the doctors is in November. Im trying to lose weight now and get into my water and exercise in advance.

This video is what I needed. I’m having my gallbladder out in 3 weeks so I’ll need to do the LRD for 2 weeks.

My LRD was the same when I had the sleeve and the revision to the bypass…. 2 shakes one for breakfast and one for lunch and a small carb less meal for dinner all the water we wanted and sugar free popsicles

Well done for getting through it!

Ahh glad to see you after surgery! You are looking well. Good luck with the journey !

Thank you for this. Do you have a screenshot of the food options you outlined around the 7 minute mark?

So I'm about to do this.... I think ill do liquid diet. I've done it before. I'm waiting for my surgery date . the insurance go ahead. I'm a nervous as a cat in a car sometimes. But but I'm ready. I have diabetes and need help

Let me tell you, I very much enjoy videos about the surgery or the surgery preparation. I myself am hoping to have this surgery and I'd love to follow along and get tips and info about the diet afterward.

What toner/purple shampoo do you use on your hair please? Love the shade of your blonde!

I saw the house tour she did and she cook and showed her plate with Adam and I can say with a step mom and uncle that had weight loss surgery your plate will be a baby bowl..my uncle went from 400 to 180 and my stepmom lost 100 pounds .she walks almost every day with friends around the block and she is 70

Can't see any of my comments or likes🤔🤔🤷🤷🤷🤷

I LOVE milk BUT after my bariatric surgery I can no longer do milk or dairy products. Makes me so nauseated. Therfore my bones suffered cause I didn't take vitamins. I was told by my surgeon that I'd have to take prenatal vitamins and b12 shots (to prevent pernicious anemia) for the rest of my life BUT struggled to find a reg MD that would prescribe for me until I almost DIED. My b12 bottomed out. But I didn't take the vitamins so now I'm disabled from severe arthritis😢! SO FOLLOW YOUR SURGEON'S ORDERS!

You got this 👍 💪 🙌 👏 💓 ooh my daughter loves them yogurts 😉

So happy to see your recovering so well I think the worst of the recovery was the drains, I just could not wait to have those gone. See I just did the 2 weeks of liquids cause I figured I'd be on liquids after so it was just the route I went. I remember having my last can of Cherry Coke prior and I cried over it since Cherry Coke was my #1 drink but when I say it was my last it was my absolute last it's been 10 plus years since my WLS and I never went back to rice, pasta, or pop. I still to this day doing my morning protein drink with fresh fruit because I have never been a morning breakfast person. I started out using Unjury protein then switched out to a GNC whey protein powder. I kinda switched around with my daily vitamins brands. Best of luck!!!

I'm very interested, thank you

Glad you're doing ok

I was laughing when you said slimming world and those damn muller yoghurts, it look me back to be 16 again lol. But all jokes aside...I'm looking forward to seeing your updates and good for you for putting your life first and getting the surgery.

i woulda had the greek yogurt 3x a day. And i drink about 4 liters of water a day.

Wow if this had been an option for me I would have had the same surgery years ago. The hospital I saw only had one option - living off milk only for 3 weeks. To hear you must off actual food kind of makes me cry because I would have gone ahead with it. Do you mind saying which hospital you were under? I'm in the south east (Essex) if anyone has any recommendations please?

Good luck x x

You didnt feel hungry after the protein diet cause protein takes longer to break down and stays in your system for longer.
