look how far you’ve come!! woo hoo!!
you wasnt need any damn surgery be your self what ever happend !!!!!!!!
Well aren’t you charming! I’m guessing that you’re one of those twenty-somethings that have absolutely nothing going on in their lives, live with their parents, don’t have any ambition, etc….just basically watch youtube videos and spout venom to make yourself feel better. And btw, I’m 138 lbs now, and probably someone you would try to hit on (or want to) now.
So very, very cowardly of you to post a comment like this. Why not try putting something positive out into the world ?
you wouldnt need this surgery if you STOP stuffing your face with cake & sweets you fat cow!
why not just stop eating takeaways & pizza & shite like that?
you look less than attractive now!
I had the same kind of pain in Post-Op, no pain that I have ever felt and I have had 3 kids without drugs! I was not expecting the pain as well. I was not myself for about 2 days. Your weight loss is amazing!
I had lap surgery. Down 123.8 lbs now…best decision I ever made!
did u have open or lap???
was your surgery open or laparoscopic? thanks…
So glad that you are doing so well
Glad you made it through. The pain will pass and you will feel wonderful 
Hugs & Love, Melissa 
Welcome back, my friend!!! I was one of the “unlucky” ones too.. I was still taking pain meds a week and half out. It seamed like everyone else I knew was off them in a few days. As for the tiredness…. it took me a month to get back to normal. I mean I had a different kind of energy all the time, but i wore out fast. You are right it will get better. BTW, you look fabulous!!
((HUGS)) and prayers,
Rebecca
I’m so glad you were home! I was in pain, too, especially when I first woke up! It’s so hard in the beginning! I felt better once they took the drainage bag and catheter out. Do make sure you slowly stetch your stomach muscles by standing up straight a couple times a day even though it may hurt. It will help you in the long run! Oh, the more you walk, the faster the gas is dispelled! It’s all water weight in the beginning! It will go away soon. Good advice, though!

You poor thing I’m sorry you were in so much pain…it happens sometimes I too suffered from alot of pain in the beginning.. especially from the draintube area that hurt the most. Don’t push yourself to be like anyone else but realize that your body is different & you will heal & need to heal at your own pace! You look beautiful though as always. Hugs to you. Kellie
Taunia I am SO GLAD to be seeing your gorgeous face. I’m so sorry you’re not feeling great, that you’re dealing with pain…but you made it through…and you’ll be doing better day by day.
) If I could I’d give you a big hug….gently..lol Can’t wait to see more videos! mwah!
Welcome back! I am do glad you are doing well, you and I are exactly one month apart! I too had a lot of pain, but each day it gets better and better. Now I am working on my strength. That has been slow to come. I am looking forward to your next video!

Glad to hear it all went fairly well other than pain! Tomorrow, I will be at T minus 15 days until my RNY and CANNOT wait! Though a bit nervous, I just want it over!
Its great to see you home! I also dealt with a lot more pain than I was prepared to deal with. Just know that is gets better with each day that passess….
I am sorry the pain is bad right now but it will be worth it. I can not wait to travel down this journey with you. Take care, Brit
I’m so glad to see you! You seem like you’re doing ok, and I am looking very forward to seeing you transform!
Hey Taunia!! Welcome to the other side!! Sending you positive thoughts and big hugs!! Take care – Chris
Mmmmmm McDreamy!! I am so glad that you are ok. x
Taunia, I am glad to hear that you are home and getting better. I wish that yours could have been easier, but we all know it’s worth it! I can’t wait to join you on this journey.
Best Wishes! Mandy
Oh Diva Taunia, welcome back! I missed you and have been praying for you! You poor baby!!! Thank you for your video describing your journey! You are helping so many people by documenting your experience. I am one of them. God bless you! I’m glad Mom is taking care of you. You are beautiful and an inspiration for all of us!!! Keep making those awesome videos!! God Bless You Taunia!!! Love from Iowa, Tammy
LOL I know but it’s just people say that hispanics are loud…. atleast other people usually say that. I guess I didn’t take it the way you said, I apologize my dear, I understand you didn’t mean any harm! I was just saying…so I hope you didn’t think I was attacking you my dear!
You look pretty anyways, thought I should remind you of that!
Glad you are feeling a little better and remember that each day will get better. Chat soon,
Hug,
Clare
I am so happy for you and I will be looking forward to you upcomming videos.
