This video changed my life. I watched it the day it came out and booked my VSG at the OCC in Mexico literally 2 days later. It was one of the best decisions of my entire life. I had mine done on April 26th, 2023 and it is now July 13th and I’m down 46lbs. My body fat percentage went from 52% to 33.6%, I’m able to dance and do yoga again (which was an ability I lost when gaining weight because my body was so heavy and uncomfortable that I stopped working out all together). Food no longer controls my life and I’m able to focus on things that bring me true joy now. I feel beautiful again, which I haven’t felt in about 2 years. My most received complement is, “you look so happy” 😭. As someone who’s battled depression, this is the most meaningful compliment I can receive. Thank you for posting this video Breeny 💗 you literally changed my life. ❤
She inspired me as well, I just book OCC in Mexico for August 2024. I am nervous and this is on repeat to help me go through with it.
lazy, you lost weight because you wanted to be active. meanwhile you can lose weight by being active
@laurencarter7281 what is OCC if you dont mind. I'm thinking about having VSG but not sure where to begin
My gastric sleeve is coming up on June 12th at OCC! So glad I found this video and comment. So excited for my new life 😭
It’s scary how we don’t notice the weight. I knew I gained a few pounds but I felt I still looked good through my eyes. I had my husband take a picture of me with my daughter and was mortified when I saw it. 🥺
That is so true. My mortifying experience was yesterday when I went to the dressing room to try on some clothes. I knew then I needed some help!
_Chiiiiile... The scale_ will deliver such a _shock‼_ 😯😳🤯🥺🫠
Same.
Oh my gosh, I know that feeling. I really have to get this weight off! I am doing the things I need to do, but I have to be patient with my body. 🥲
Literally just happened to me a few days ago! Saw an off guard pic of myself with a crop top on and said when did my stomach get this big😭😭now I am taking my workouts seriously
With weight or without weigh, I must must must say...your make up, hair, the way you talk, skin and clothing is so on point. Absolutely brilliant. Also, the weight loss require so much of serious hard work and consistency. Bravo to you!
She always looks so beautiful 😍
Right!!!!
She is gorgeous 😍
Agreed! I never noticed the weight gain or weight loss until she said something. She's simply stunning no matter what.
... for those of you who are impatient (like me), skip to 8:45 which is where the explanation starts. But, this video is honest, enlightening, refreshing, and the true story of this beautiful and truly amazing woman. God bless you and your journey.
I was wondering why she felt the need to defend herself so much at the beginning until I realised she lost the weight through surgery😭
Thank you
Short attention span gang 💪💯😭thanks
Thank you!!
You're a queen for this! Thank you! 😉
The dressing room clip has me in tears 😭 I’ve been there so many times. You look amazing! I had the same surgery in 2014 and it changed my relationship with food. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Yanie for being open about your surgery especially when it wasn’t popular to do so, you’ve helped so many people, love always sis ❤
Two of my favourite youtubers in the comments section
Love from 🇿🇦
Gorgeous girls indeed!!
Same 🥺🥺🥺
Love this. I had the same surgery in 2021. It’s changed my relationship with food . I’ll be two years out in May . I can get more then I did a year ago. But nothing compared to how I used to eat. However, I do have to exercise discipline . To make sure I stay on track. The futher out , the less restrictions you have . Which is why many people gain the weight back. When they gain it back it comes back double.
YES. Thats when I broke down. I've had so many of those depressing dressing room sessions🥲
I noticed that during my weight loss journey, some people were so happy and up beat and telling me I was fine how I was and I didn’t need to change…..and when I finally got it together and lost all the weight I had gained after pregnancy…certain ppl stopped liking my posts and weren’t as up beat about anything I did anymore. Funny how that works. They always want you to stay down and not glow up and outshine them- but it’s hard to hide those kind of feelings so eventually I got smart to it and dropped ppl.
Well done for feeling YOUR best 😃 not their best.
@@tammiajayi1498 thank you for your kind words! ♥️🙏🏽😊
thats terrible, people want youto be miserable because they are miserable
@@shachede6828 Yupp! So true.
It’s so scary how true this is!!! Especially from people you thought were yo friends ?!!!! They be secretly jealous !! Like wtf
As someone who went from 296 to 139 after working out + surgery, I can honestly agree here. Those in my family have been the worst; Ive had to cut off a lot of people. Being downright rude, no boundaries and completely unsympathetic was something I just had to start expecting. I find it funny no one ever told me at 300lbs to put the pizza down but now they will say ‘you arent going to eat that’ or ‘thats all you are gonna eat.’ You cant please people, just do you.
Exactly! Misery loves company
Do you mind sharing with you, who did your surgery?
❤
This is the one right here ☝🏽- so true you can’t please ppl, just got to do you all the time no matter what they got to say. Same experience with a few “friends” I had back then too before I got it together and decided to become fine lol.

@@BreenyLee😢
This is the true definition of transparency to the T. Thank you Breeny!
She not gonna tell everything
🥹🤍
@@jennifermiranda8969 but she did, and she looks bloody amazing ❤
@@jennifermiranda8969 she did not leave the information and the transparency that was truly necessary for the women (who are considering doing the same surgery) to know. Big respect for Miss Breeny.
She has a lovely face and beautiful skin I can see why she's a model.
But it's difficult because 'transparency' comes with consequences beyond a disclaimer - she didn't owe anyone an explanation as to the method of weight loss so maybe best to keep private at the risk of being accused of advertising or at the very least influencing others?
Not meaning to sound harsh but £50 discount is a joke and could be seen on one 1 hand showing a lack of respect to her and other young ladies considering this life-changing procedure. But then maybe it might put ppl off who are are not ready for such a big choice?
With respect, she is not a 'random girl' - but a highly influential person to impressionable people.
She has a successful brand why tarnish it if there is a potential someone else could have a negative experience? The company is reaping great benefits, especially at this time of the year. She had to pay from her own pocket, no real discount - I don't get it? Did she get paid? If not why mention the company?
Anyway, no comment on the actual surgery and her results as I wish her all the best.
But she is right - do your own due diligence on these surgeries for obvious reasons. If you're feeling pressure from sm please delete whichever app makes you feel unhappy.
And remember you are already beautiful 💟
I am 190 I always been 145 my whole life at one point lower than that I've gained over 50 lbs in the last 4 years and now that I am engaged I am wanting more to be healthy again. czcams.com/users/postUgkx5VQ5nUzHu6i0O5_u7ipyLnCz0lbsSvr0 I am not fat but I am thick and have muscle. I am very close to how you were but a lil smaller but I am so sick people making comments to me like I'm huge or like you said having shorts that used to be so cute on me and now I can't even find a pair to fit me. I used to love shopping now I don't even want to go to the store and if I do I pick the biggest size don't even try it on and deal with it. I went from size 5 to size idk because I don't even want to know the real number. I hate looking at pics of myself now or me before. thank you for your video it's time to make a change.
This video is underrated. Thank you for sharing such a sensitive topic. I just had VSG done in December and I’m down nearly 30lbs. My knees don’t hurt any more, i am starting to see my waistline again, and i can see a difference in my face. I’ll never let myself get that weight again!
That’s so amazing💕 I’m glad to hear you’re improving and meeting goals. Blessings to you!
Why can't you just exercise and control how you eat? Do you comfort eat ?
Your ability to be vulnerable with us is so beautiful. Such a relatable video for those that struggle with weight loss. I'm beyond proud of you and feel seen.
She’s happy, she feels healthy, she had the money, she’s enjoying her life I truly don’t see the problem, it’s your life if you don’t harm anyone in the process do you❤️
You're right
Thank you ☺️
Exactly! 👏 And she's sharing her journey not telling anyone to do anything
Fr!
Not telling anyone to do it (true) but sure accepting the responsibility of influence, esp with discount codes.
Sidenote: To anyone doing Keto transition to insulin resistance lifestyle afterward. You will have a larger range of food but with a similar structure. You basically eat like a pre-diabetic or diabetic. After weight loss surgery you will have to maintain and I recommend these two lifestyle options “Keto” or “Insulin Resistance”. Good luck ladies!
Yanie heyyyy
Yanie ❤😊
Hey Yanie ☺️
yanie!!!💕
What is the surgery called?
You didn't owe anyone an explanation, however, your level of transparency and openness to show your full human self and be vulnerable really opened my heart and gave me new perspective on accepting my humanness. Thank you ♥️
I came in for the weight loss, but one thing stood out. “I don’t have nice feet.” Thank you for normalizing being imperfect/different. Society can damage you, if you listen. I appreciate you for sharing your journey. I plan on getting the sleeve and I know that it is definitely not a quick fix. I am doing low carb and will start doing rolling 72 fast.
I do rolling 48s and mainly 72 as well let’s be accountability partners please
If you do keto as a lifestyle for the rest of your life you don't need to do a gastric sleeve. It's one or the other. From a Paleo/Keto Nutritionist.
@@PaleoLifestyleUK thank you
It sounds like he was taking unflattering pictures of you on purpose. He was your secret hater. The fact he was listening to Kevin Samuels too is a red flag 🚩
He probably sent those pics to his friends and she was made fun of.
Definitely. So unfortunate that people like that exist. Why date someone just to belittle them..
This is my ex!! Always wanted to take pic when I was in my dressing gown and head wrap but he was dressed. Never took pics when I was dressed and looked nice. Only when we were going out together because then he would be dressed in his best and with me in the pic 🙄
I feel like he was saving embarrassing pics for “future blackmail” he knows she’s gonna blow up one day
Damn I thought my guy was a unique kind of evil … sad that other women deal with these creeps too.
No flat tummy tea, no pills, no pricy “gym programmes”, no meal plans, no selling dreams, no cap, just the free… TRUTH ❤
Update:
Total weight loss: 5stone - 33kg - 74 lbs
Also I don’t know what CZcams has done to this video because I had 500 views before the video was released to go public
Question: did you get a notification of this upload? 🥴
Love you Breeny Love The Process
I weigh 118 lbs 21 I've been underweight for a while but unfortunately I'm also At a very healthy weight Yoga or HOT YOGA Warrior Pose only 30 minutes Try THISS METHOD THIS helps in leggings sets guys Super Drenching Tactic ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I love Your Videos I support Your Growth
Brenny, i'm younger than you and I can relate to you story so much to how you are describing yourself it really saddens me. You are comparing yourself to white blonde underweight girls ... simply enough other self counscious people on the toxic internet. On top of that the fertility pouch is something that is very attractive to men so don't be so hard on yourself. Focus on what your body allows you to do and listen to the signals it is sending you.
Anyways, much love from canada.
Keyhole is the best. Had it for my Endometriosis/PCOS diagnosis in 2015.
My grandma use to drink. Then wait 30-45mins before eating. Way better for your digestive system.
Whatever you did you look great!
Thank you Breeny for been honest about your weight loss and not pretending you did it through gym and sensible !!! You look amazing ❤
Thank you for sharing that was the wonderful journey toward your weight loss
You're STUNNING!! You have the face of a 90s supermodel😍
I did it 6 months ago and already lost 50 lbs and loveeeeeee my journey so far. Looking good, blood levels perfect, no more high blood pressure. Feel great
@Skinny & Pretty yeah, but the discipline to deliberately each less is the struggle. The surgery sets you on the right path.
Please is it safe?
Good for you. 🎉 Health is wealth❤❤❤❤
Thank you for being completely transparent about your weight loss. I feel like people who’ve never struggled with their weight long term do not understand our plight and make false assumptions like saying what you did was the easy way out. Fat people catch so much hell for every decision we make whether we’re losing weight or not. Im not against any form of weight loss treatment as long as it’s done and monitored by medical professionals and you qualify for it. Losing weight is so hard no matter what route you take. My mom was morbidly obese and had to have that surgery. I suffered from depression and anxiety which caused me to gain 50 pounds after being a healthy weight for most of my teenage years. I’m now in the process of trying to lose that weight. I look back and realized I was tiny, despite people saying that about me I didn’t believe it. I’ve tried pills and they didn’t work. I’m a broke college student so I can’t afford medication like Ozempic even though I qualify for it by being in the obese bmi chart. For me fasting, cutting out soda, going to therapy, taking medication and most importantly fat shredding weight training has helped a lot. I was blown away by how amazing and lighter I felt and how fast I was slimming down. As a petite woman, doing short fat burning weight exercises helped a lot despite the scale not budging. But my clothes fit better.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤ - all the best on your road to healthy x
@shy_donut8307 Well done for starting your weight loss journey! Building muscle speeds up our metabolism helping us to burn more calories, so you're on the right path.
Ozempic isn’t supposed to be taken for weightloss
The walking after surgery actually aids in healing and preventing blood clots which we always worry about after surgery. We also encourage the walking to help prevent pneumonia which happens when patients stay in bed too much.... you look amazing, Breeny!
This made me cry. I remember when I didn’t know what to do anymore and the times that I felt so fed up. But I made it through. I learned that there’s always something that we’re going to point out about ourselves but the most important part is to love ourselves no matter what. I love you Breeny!
i really love how your face was still slim and sculpted even at your heaviest. believe it or not, you carried your weight well and you still looked bomb. you look unreal(in the best possible way) now though. utterly breathtaking ❤
People are so entitled these days. This channel isn’t a weight loss channel so I really wasn’t even expecting this video. Am glad that you brought it out in your own time. Congrats Bre! ❤❤️
It's crazy because when i first discovered you , you look exactly how you look now. So it's not like you never been thinner like how everyone else is making it seem. Like you I gained 30 pounds since the pandemic and its been a struggle losing this weight. I never been athletic and I've always been naturally skinny. Currently I weigh 185 and I'm only 5'7. It defiantly does effect your self esteem especially when you're shopping. Thank you for sharing your story and you look amazing
I’m so proud of you and commend your bravery. Body dysmorphia is a beast. Hearing your story made me so emotional as I have felt huge since I was 6 when someone told me I was too big. I’m only 155 and realizing I’ve gained 5 pounds in the last 4 months has made me so emotional. And not being able to talk to family and friends about my emotions on the matter sucks. Thank God for therapy ❤ anywho happy you are happy!! As always you’re a beautiful person and I appreciate your videos over the last 2 years
Dear breeny, I rarely comment on CZcams videos.. But the impact you have on me and many other women just compels me to let you know what you already know. First of, I wanna congratulate you on your weight loss, your shine is blinding my love ! but I know how hard it is to be self aware and literally knowing everything you need to do get better but just never really doing it cause your just waiting for the “right time” I have been so discouraged with this term “weight loss” cause some very close people around me made me feel that I’m only going to be worth it if I lose weight, I’ll only get married if I lose weight. This has made me feel like I don’t deserve love right now. Like there is nothing else to a woman other than her appearance or beauty. I’m not saying that I want to stay unhealthy but I don’t want to literally suffer and starve myself to death In order to lose weight. I haven’t watched this video yet but I just know that it will change my perspective about weight loss. I really hope I get to meet you one day and give you a big tight hug!!!! Every time I have been heartbroken over a guy or depressed and asked god to show me a way you have literally answered all my questions through your videos. You have literally been an angel in my life Breeny…I love you and I’m so grateful that I came across your channel when I did. Keep inspiring people like you always do! ❤❤❤❤
🤗🤗🤗♥️ - the motivation to lose weight should always be for YOU, everything and everyone else is secondary. You should not be inspired to get healthy to get married or find love. YOU ARE WORTHY PERIOD. Always have been, always will be!!!
Your weight doesn’t determine your worth!!! But when you feel good it shines!!! So let that be your motivation ❤
@@BreenyLee AMEN
So inspiring✨️ I've lost 30lbs and not going back! I have about 20 more to lose. I am so much happier and healthier already.
How did you lose it pls xx
@@queenbronx3153 Casual exercise, reducing portions, and not usually eating after 8 o'clock at night
Amazing! 🔥 Keep crushing it! 💛
@@queenbronx3153 Yes I have lost weight and I don't eat after 9:30pm everyday. Smaller portions and exercise x 5 a week
This video was so real. You looked wonderful before and after and I appreciate how you kept this video so honest. Glad that everything went well with your surgeries and that you look more vibrant.
I won't lie, I'm just gazing at your face, your makeup everything is beautiful!
Edit: Thanks for letting us know. I really wanted to do mine in September, I actually told my mum and husband and had a date but did not pay the deposit because my husband wanted me to try naturally (at the time we had just had a miscarraige and he was scared it would affect us in future) I also knew I wouldn't be able to try for a year after the surgery but it's been almost 6months and I've not lost weight and another miscarraige, I'm sure my weight isn't helping. But seeing people like yourself and others genuinely happy after the surgery makes me wish I did it already
always choose your happiness lovely
My condolences
I totally understand you and am happy for you. I have always had a pouch and been bigger than all my siblings, then in 2020, I went from 73kg to 91kg (lost my dad+ PCOS). Bad knees, body image issues, everyone in my office asking me if I was pregnant🙄 I'm 5'9 so I went up just one dress size. I can only imagine what getting to a size 16 did to your mental health. My wake up call was when I became prediabetic. Lost 11kg last year and I'm feeling a lot better and confident.
Pcos is a trauma response after a loss.. You can heal it..
@@lilag5679 how?
@@user-gy9iq6gw8k Well to make a long story short.. You need to find the right trauma + the feeling.. Be there again in your mind and if you feel the need to cry that’s even more helpfull.. Than you need to do tapping I do it on my head for releasing.. That’s because we need to convince our mind that we are not there anymore but in the now.. Also say the words like I accept the situation and I let it go.. Sounds crazy but Its the 🔑
@@lilag5679 so that’s how I’ll treat PCOS?
@@user-gy9iq6gw8k yes It’s weird that pcos comes after a big loss also for me..
The transparency is commendable. I’m currently on my weight loss journey and I hope I make the transformation. The body dysmorphia is real.
You got this! I am so excited for your transformation 💕
@@ninaoffthegrid awww thank you !!
Thank you for making this video. I’m on a weight loss journey myself and always enjoy watching videos like this to see what other people did. I think younger viewers should know there’s a fine line between throwing money at your problems and avoiding the discipline and hard work required to achieve your goals.
I have lots of respect for Breeny‘s journey and her person so I mean this comment in no way disrespectful.
That being said, I think this is important for everyone considering this surgery, even if it reaches just one person: Cutting out 85% of a healthy organ (!) that you have for a reason (many reasons) is a huge intervention. And for her to say it is non invasive is medically wrong; it is laparoscopic (meaning no big cut is made but many small ones where the instruments are inserted). I can tell you from medical experience it has a BIG impact on your life after.
So for everyone who is thinking about this surgery and is not dangerously obese: please confront your emotional eating and what is behind it.
When Breeny said that she now looks how she wants to look and buys whatever clothes she wants it breaks my heart. Because that is cool, but I guarantee you the effects on your body that you will have for the rest of your life are huge. Our health determines our lives quality and so lets treat our bodies carefully.
Absolutely agree with this. I am not dangerously obese and I’m 23. I weighed 258 after having my 3 babies in 4 years and I knew surgery still wasn’t the option for me. I was just being lazy, not working out or moving my body and not eating healthy at all. No amount of surgery was gonna fix that for me. Also because I didn’t have a health issue it wasn’t recommended at all. Now 5 months later I have lost 23 pounds and only need to lose the rest of the 34 to get to my goal weight but it feels great to be able to run without stoping for more than 5 min, eating healthy is bomb and I get to be here for my family instead of waiting to get some type of diagnosis like diabetes/pre-diabetes/hypertension/etc. I always will believe that gastric bypass should only be the last option cause many people do it that really didn’t need too.
I literally just watched 10 minutes of your video but I had to pause to leave you a comment and say that you just one of a kind. I have been following you since the very beginning and honestly your growth not only as a woman but as a individual is amazing to see! I personally don’t think this was a easy video to put out so I just wanted to say thank you! ❤
I really appreciate this and that you see my heart, it was not easy at all but empowering to say, this is MY journey and I’m in full support of myself regardless of what others may say, that’s a lesson for others in this. Thank you for being a day one supporter, I do this for you ❤

@@BreenyLee "As an artist I dont have to explain anything, but as a leader I do" - Kanye West .. thank you for doing this Breeny
THANK YOUUUU THANK YOU FOR SHARING EVERYTHING and with photos. You may not read this but as I am listening to this I wanna cry because it's sooooo sooo hard to explain body dysmorphia to people who don't understand it! Your pics of 2011 and how you could not see how skinny you were is exactly what I am still struggling with. I look back at my pictures of when I was at my skinniest and I am like in shock at how I could not see it. I am in a weight loss clinic and for some reason people will act like it's a sign of weakness or that I am not trying hard enough to lose weight on my own. And this comes even from personal trainers. I wish people would truly understand the mental toll that the way you see your body can have on you especially if it's been that way your whole life. I am so grateful that there are people like you out there not trying to make people feel guilty for using the resources available to them to deal with something they are struggling with!! THANK YOU))
I feel so understood right now. Me being both tall and on the thicker side I always feel insecure, like the “Big Girl” & I’m genuinely unhappy. I started Keto yesterday💪🏾 you’re such an inspiration 🤍
Keep going. You'll get there
Omg, same baby girl 🥲same. I can heavily relate
how’s it going lovely? ❤️❤️
Thank you so much for being so open... influencers on IG would have us killed ourselves at the gym and starving ourselves but behind the scenes they know what they did.
You already know
Forcing someone to like something they simply don’t isn’t right. You can love yourself and still want to change aspects about you. I think it takes a lot of courage to get surgery because people will judge you for it. I’m sure more people would if they knew they weren’t going to be judged. You can be ‘insecure’ about one aspect about yourself and not be a overally insecure person. It’s just about wanting to be comfortable. I work out because I don’t want to spend time thinking and worrying about what I look like. That takes up alot of energy
Thank you Breeny for speaking transparently about your weight loss journey. It was such a pleasure helping you achieve your dream weight loss goals .
💙💚 THST FAMILY
This is the most transparent weight loss video I've seen. I'm sure a lot of people will appreciate it
One thing I love about you is how honest and transparent you are. It broke my heart to hear you say those things in the fitting room - I felt that exact way the last time I went to the fitting room. I’m just so happy that everything has turned around for you now ❤️.
I cried because this is my story! I mentally checked out on this weight loss/weight gain saga. Body image and all! I took a gut health test to determine what truly works for me bc Keto doesn’t work for me. Lord have mercy
Wishing you well on your journey my love ❤
Hi, you asked your doctor to take a gut health test? Were you asked to find out what works for you?
Have you detox? Honestly the only plan works for me when I'm consistent is JJ smith. Look her up. She teaches a lifestyle and break up with food and detox methods. Keto is one way but the secret is cut the carbs, sugar, and do intermittent fasting.
So happy for you. Sometimes people need help losing weight. I personally feel like sometimes discipline and self control is extremely difficult to keep going for the long amount of time you need to loose a large amount of weight. Its very emotional taxing. You look amazing as always💛
I had vsg in 2016. I’ve gained back 30 but my highest weight was 288. Now I’m on the weight loss journey again. Thanks for your story!
Do you recommend the surgery? Or is it easy to gain the weight back?
Good question because I'm really considering it
Sis you are absolutely stunning! I thought you were beautiful before but what the weightloss has done is made your personality shine through even more.
One thing about Breeny, she will explain okay! I think as humans we just want to be our best selves and sometimes the body does not cooperate and there's nothing wrong in trying your best to make sure it does. I am inspired to go on my own endless weight-fighting journey and hope I get to my goal weight this year.
I will always explain 😂😂😂
Leave no stone unturned baby 🤍✨
it’s amazing how informative and honest you are, it’s great that ur expressing BOTH the positives and negatives
Bariatric surgery shows us that the real secret to weight loss is eating less. The surgery works so well because it physically stops you from overeating. There are lots of factors that cause weight gain but ultimately its because they make us overeat.
Thank you for this! I feel the same,eating less .
When u need to lose massive amounts of weight though it’s eating way less. Which is why bariatric surgery tends to be successful. Speaking to weight loss doctors though it is not so black & white. But ppl who have been at an acceptable weight all their lives won’t get this.
They make us?
And lack of exercise. Most people don’t have naturally high metabolism. Eating less can be problematic for some as the body will literally adjust and hold on to that weight. Weight loss and maintaining healthy weight is a balance of eating healthy and exercising. You must also work with doctors to make sure there are no health issues contributing to weight gain and that inability to lose weight. It’s unfortunate she chose surgery so young. Unless there was a real metabolic health issue she simply needed to exercise and eat healthy. She was at best a size 14 US. It’s easy to lose 50 lbs if you put in the effort. I lost 90 lbs going from 20/22 to 8/10 US with mostly diet modification (Keto before it became popular or known) and movement. Not even major exercise just consistent movement. Parking on the top floor of the garage at work, taking the stairs vs elevator, walking at lunch or breaks. Getting up and moving more. It’s disheartening seeing young people go for surgery especially knowing the longterm health effects. I know several people that are having issues post weight loss surgery. Yes they’re skinny but they’re on disability because they can no longer work. They can’t retain the vitamins and minerals needed to stay healthy.
@@jaeshasway I agree I had weight-loss surgery back in 2016 and have really never been able to get under 200 pounds. It seems like my body just adjust to the lower calories. Trying to fall in love with exercise.❤
I am glad this was recommended on my FYP on youtube. I am currently saving up to do my surgery in May and I am really excited to start this journey. I have struggled with weight all my life and when I was a teenager, I got diagnosed with PCOS. If there is anyone who has PCOS they can tell you how hard it is to lose weight, no matter how much you train or eat healthy. I tried all the natural remedies until last year when I decided to do this surgery. I am glad you showed us your journey and gave your pros and cons. You look great and I cannot wait until I start mine. You go girl and continue sharing your journey with us 💪
This partner is the worst to have when you have insecurities and when you are at your lowest. He's not the one to rely on girl. I appreciate you have broken up with him and achieved your goal. I'm single and I'm at my lowest. But after your video, you gave me the push to proceed in my plan. Please keep up with your wieght because some people never take care of their habits after the surgery and they return to gain weight. It's a mindset babe❤️ Thank youuu for your influence on me❤️❤️
You hit the nail on the head with this one! Today I didn’t think I could relate because you got surgery but I agree with everyone in the comments about how well you explain everything. Thank you for the encouragement. The truth. The way I repeat the cycles of comfort eating is making me miserable 😖 your videos embody me truly, what an amazing gift you have. I don’t want to stop here. Thank you Breeny 💛🥹
Amazing that god gave you the grace and courage to make this video. Its unfortunate however that people are going under the knife for ascetics. Lets really consider the implications of going under the knife, not to mention that as believers what god says about vanity and risking our lives. You are putting your life at risk for beauty as you need to be put under in order for the surgeon to complete the procedure. There are so many ways to naturally achieve this goal, save your time and money. Do not put yourself at risk for ascetics which unfortunately are always reversible because of the quick fix nature of it. Invest on balancing your hormones, improving your mental health, prayer, church, connection, community, sports, diet, exercise and the weight loss will come naturally.
This is not to put Breeny down, I just felt called to say as its easy to watch these videos and copy without really thinking about it.
I love all of your videos Breeny, been watching/following you since 2k16 and you look amazing! keep up the healthy lifestyle. Bless
I fully intended to skim through the video but girl you got me watching it ALL! And sis let me give you some hug as well as hug myself cuz I can relate af
Yes- same here
Because of your transparency and vulnerability you will always have my respect. I was a bit concerned though when you said you had the stomach of a child even though it may have been said, figuratively it broke my heart and reminded me of the lyrics to Beyonce’s pretty hurts. I hope that during your journey you healed whatever pain that was causing the stress emotional eating and self loathing. I also worry that you are already on to the next surgery , there is always something to “fix “it never ends doesn’t it .
Breeny this TX lady watched the vid almost in tears "you only get 1 body" is so true!! 2 yrs ago I talked myself out of VSG; even after consulting w/ 2 doctors. Yes I tried all the traditional methods, but as we age, the harder it is. I let the "you look happy, you don't look bad, but you're so tall so you're gonna be heavier, etc." comments back in as a "reasoning" not to do it. Silly of me bc I know my weight is very unhealthy. We appreciate you sharing with us. Yes you're an influencer, but you still have every right to share things as you choose. It was obvious your weight changed, no need for total strangers to be running up to you in public! This was true motivation for me bc I look & see how far along I could've come by now. Continued blessings, success, love & favor to you Breeny.
You’ve got to do what works for YOU, it’s YOUR life, I never want to look back and have regrets that my life could have been different because I listened to outside voices, wishing you so much grace on your journey 🤍
Weight loss surgery is not my thing, but I am so glad you were transparant and honest on what you did. So that younger girls watching are not fooled. Also you like amazing!
Breeney you look fabulous!!! I’m so proud of you! I had vsg 06/06/22 and I had issues with my weight going up and down and then being my highest weight gain! Now, I’ve gained my confidence back, developed a new relationship with food, and I do not regret the procedure at all! 😊Thanks for your inspiration ♥️♥️
Do you mind sharing where you did yours? Any side effect?
It's definitely easier to judge people's choices from the outside, but only fools know it all.
It was very brave of you to share this personal experience on such a platform. I really appreciate your honesty. I wouldn't trust somebody who seemed to have it all together.
You know yourself better than anyone does. You went through some tough mental challenges in your private life and we only know the overview of it. Also, body dismorphya must not be pretty.
I'm glad you feel better about yourself after this surgery. I know first hand what's it like to beat yourself up for your looks.
However, I do have one genuine concern: that you might spiral into perfectionism. The boob job is understandable because after that surgery your body changed in many ways. Nonetheless, I hope you don't try to change all of your imperfections. Perfectionism is unattainable. It's coming from someone who struggles with it too.
Maybe it's just me, but I think our generation is in a desperate search of perfection: the perfect hair, the perfect body, the perfect teeth, the spotless skin, the perfect couple... We've been deluded to think we'll ever achieve it.
Be your raw and true self. That's enough for me and that's enough for God too. Everything you need is inside.
Sending you a big hug, Breeny💜
That disclaimer! I really hope that the people concerned will read it thoroughly!
Thank you for sharing Breeny ✨
As a critic of your previous content 2019 era. I want to say that this is such a great video. And I commend you for being brave enough to be so transparent about your weight loss process.
I needed this video real bad. I actually randomly came across your podcast and immediately fell in love. I didn’t realize I follow you on CZcams too. Wow.
Thank you so much for sharing such a sensitive subject. I’ve been struggling with my weight and body dysmorphia and it’s completely ruined my mental health and self image. It’s hard because you never really see beautiful influencers that are relatable and your story is so similar to mine.
I've been so insecure with my weight gain, thank you for this video Breeny 💙
Guuurll ya look good & you did what YOU needed to do for YOU.
Proud of you for finding a way to pull yourself back together after a toxic breakup, dealing with grief, navigating body image issues, and SO much more that you didn’t even disclose. 💕
& I can relate to going from a size 10 to a 16- nobody knows what that feels like especially after going up & down multiple times.
You’re an inspo ✨
Thank you for your compassion my lovely ♥️
When you started talking to yourself in the mirror about changing your weight, I felt that! I’m there I need to change my ways & my way of thinking. Thanks for the motivation ❤
Hi Breeny lee !!!!
I know you may/may not see this comment 🤪 but if you do, I wanna say firstly, I'm really proud of you and how far you've come. Secondly, thank you for being the voice for all these ladies in this channel, we really appreciate you. Thirdly, ever since I started watching your videos, I'm more confident and I'm able to put my foot down and walk away from people that don't respect me or see my value. Thank you so so so much, Breeny 😭😭😭😭😭. May the Lord bless you with all of your heart's desires in accordance with His will. ❤❤❤
Have a lovely day everyone. 🦋
Thank you and I see YOU ❤
That video in front the mirror made me scream “I love you breeny!!!!!!!!” Thank you for sharing your relatable story! It truly is a mental thing. You have been an inspiration ever since 2019 💕 you look amazing and your transformation shows because you are clearly more confident. I’m so proud! Continue to shine no matter your size 💕💕💕 and wish you a successful 2023 with continued discipline to your goals here on out ✨✨👏🏾
THANK YOU 🥹♥️
Thank you -this video is so real. I think the body positivity movement has made the everyday woman feel guilty for wanting to change the skin theyre in. "Why dont you stay the same, you are fine, its toxic to want to be thin"...That in itself is toxic. If people are happy being big, they should not police others for wanting the best for THEM. Proud of you, thanks for sharing, many women can relate
I cried watching this. Most relatable video you made in a long time. I've been watching you for years now. I never noticed your weight gain/loss until now that you mentioned it because I just watch for your content, and I always thought you look beautiful regardless. The pandemic hit me hard. The gyms being closed really lost my motivation and it's been hard to get back. I gained 30lbs since 2020 I went from size 6 to 12. I was also in an abusive relationship and lost my best friend it took a toll on my mental health. Especially because me and bestie were work out partners.
I gained 20kg (3 stone) in a couple of years when my thyroid crashed. It suuuucked. My knees hurt, I felt like a different person. But I lost 25 kg and feel so good now!
Wowww how did you do it? (if you dont mind sharing)
@@zara_2403 sure! Well, getting my thyroid regulated again made a huge difference obviously, as it meant I had a metabolism. But I made some small changes like reduced sugar and carbohydrate intake and added more protein. Nothing drastic or silly, and I still eat carbs (they're important!) but I'm just mindful of portions.
Happy for you 🤗❤
@@Ginmabes thankk you much for sharing! ♡♡♡
I had thyroid issues too as a child and I was way too skinny and my metabolism was so messed up. But now that it is regulated I am a healthy weight and have never felt better
the most genuine influencer!! this is why you’re my favorite. we love you Breeny❤️ beautiful inside & out at any size! so proud of you for doing what you felt was best for you & sharing your honest truth🥰🫶🏻
Thank you darling 🤗
Thanks for being vulnerable, haters always throw rocks and then hide. Keep shining Breeny, I've been following you for years and love how you've evolved and letting us into your world.
I didn’t think it was a good idea to have the surgeon decrease your stomach by 85%.
It is crazy. How can she absorb vit and minerals
As much as I will commend you for your transparency, I must add a piece of advice to your followers.
While it is great to see the transformation please note that The first year after bariatric surgery is usually the easiest as you get to watch yourself shrink down in size.
After that, you will have to deal with loose skin and if you don’t have the finance to maintain the loose skin…some spiral into depression. Some will need constant fillers in their face, because you may get thinner.
While you might save 4k now to have the surgery, think about the aftermath and upkeep.
Pregnancy after this surgery comes with a risk for some (I know, pregnancy already have it’s risk).
Then there is the nerve damage due to malnutrition as you will always be needing vitamins Drip and supplement because what you now eat is not enough to nourish your body. You will lose muscle mass, bones might become brittle.
If you have the money to maintain all this, then by all means go ahead, it is a good option.
I had to say something because I saw what it did to a family member. ❤
This is very wise advice.
@Ame, you went on a negative rant about weight loss surgery based on ONE person's experience? You probably want to do some research. As with everything, there are positive effects from WLS that go BEYOND looking better. Many women are actually ABLE to get pregnant AFTER surgery because their hormones are balanced once they lose weight. Everyone does NOT have loose skin, and for that matter, loose skin can occur through non surgical weight loss. Vitamin deficiency mostly happen when people do not take their vitamins DAILY! It's like water, If you never drink any, you'll eventually get dehydrated. There are risks with having wls just like anything else, but there are also risks to carrying extra weight too. Many people get off all kinds of medications after wls, not to mention getting their quality of life back. Like being able to walk normally without being in pain. Posting a laundry list of all the negative that "might" or "could" happen based on one person is not good "advice". People should do their research and determine what's best for them because wls comes with pros and cons.
@@talawoods25 is that your take from what I wrote? Wow. Did you read the path I said if you can keep up with the upkeep then go ahead. I said I saw what it did to a family member, I never said it was the only one experience I have witnessed. It’s my job and what I do on a regular and I get to care for people that get to deal with the cons of the surgery but that is besides the point. I said what I said for the younger ones who would not care to do their research, because to them an influencer has done it and she is okay. What I said is not enough for you to say ‘I went on a negative rant about weight loss surgery’…that is a stretch.
@@talawoods25 she did not go on a negative rant. She simply shared her experience & added balance to the equation.
This is very new territory for most black girls. Girls/women period. Interfering with the body’s weight loss processes surgically is not something the average person is well versed in. Context is very necessary here.
If you look at the comment section, most people are applauding the actions of what they deem to be someone of influence & someone they want to be like. You need alternative perspectives here to add balance, because her followers are easily influenced.
Let us encourage dialogue here & help other women to navigate these treacherous waters in their quest for long lasting beauty. Guidance is needed. Otherwise impressionable women could be endangering themselves in the name of aesthetics. This woman’s experiences are extremely valid.
@@amehserraiyen5912 thanks for sharing sis. I felt your heart. Baby girl these new age women don’t wanna hear nothing from nobody!! I’m born in the 80s where we’re used to taking counsel... from aunties, uncles, grandmas etc. It was never an us against the world mentality that is rife these days.
I am also concerned for the youth. And as you’ve rightly eluded, we need to take up our position as “elders” in a sense to offer guidance.
The mentality now is so dog eat dog where no one cares about the bigger picture. How we are progressing as a people or community. If that was the case we would be questioning whether these kind of activities ie wls are safe for our community. Girl it’s rough out here 😢
Breeny, it takes a strong person to expose themselves as raw as you did. It’s authentic, it’s real it’s genuine and it’s respected. we appreciate you for sharing a big part of yourself.
The thing that stood out to me is “i know myself”. Having such self awareness sets you up to make goals and achieve them. Congratulations on staying true to you. We love it & you are all around a true inspiration. Be well. 💜
-Miss U
Hey Breny. I love you and your videos. I love how transparent and honest you have always been. I’ve watched your videos for over 4years now. I rarely comment because I listen to you while working at my job. You always send out positive energy and the world needs all of it. However one thing I’ve noticed (I might be wrong) is that you focus a lot on your looks and how people see you which is important but not as important as how you feel about yourself i wish you can look deep inside and appreciate how beautiful you are. You impact the world so much and I’m so sad you don’t see a lot of your beauty inside and out. Our bodies will always change that’s life,but are you willing to love it through the changes?.You clearly said you will freeze fat in your stomach which means you still ain’t satisfied with your results. None of these procedures can make you feel good if you don’t love yourself inside and out. I believe you should focus more on loving yourself, appreciating yourself and accepting your body with all its changes. As we grow older we change it’s normal and I wish we women accepted that reality. This isn’t coming from a place of hate at all. I love your videos and will always watch you.😊
I had it April last year 130lbs down, feeling amazing, best thing I've ever done for myself. Hard work and worth it
I’m getting it done next month….Do you still eat very little? Are you sensitive to certain foods?
@@Plativia I still eat fairly small portions, but they're satisfying to me. I do get full, I can eat a decent amount at a restaurant without gathering too much suspicion, I just ask to take the rest with me. No sensitivities at all for me personally. Only ever had sensitivity right at the beginning when I went onto solids and plain water was really hard to drink, zero calorie squash was fine, and eggs tasted like play dough for a couple of weeks. I can drink fizz/alcohol just fine and can tolerate anything. It's just that some things fill me up faster than others.
@@shibbikitteh thank you for sharing
I’m glad you decided to share your story when you didn’t have to. You look amazing!
Thank you girl 🤍
Honestly I started watching you on CZcams when you were at your bigger weight and you were such an inspiration to me. I’ve struggled with fluctuating weight for awhile and seeing you have more weight on you but still looking at you it was like wow you’re so gorgeous so beautiful and confident it made me feel better about my own body image regardless where I was at. All in all you’re beautiful and inspiration regardless !!
You are my fashion elegance icon. Your personality is so real and yet refined. I can tell you are so much fun, humble, and know your worth. Thank you for being such a great inspiration for young brown skin women.
Yes. I do believe that as women more focus is placed on our physical appearance. Thank you for sharing your truth. After having my boys , it was so challenging to lose the 80 lbs I gained. I still have stretch marks but I view them as my tattoos that bear witness of the children I birthed ♥️
I love that perspective! ❤
@@lygiabird6988 thanks
I never thought about how you lost weight. You look great and more than that I can tell you feel great mentally and physically. I had VSG 2 1/2 month and am so glad I did.
Yes ❤
What is VSG
@@berje4775 Weight-loss surgery is also called bariatric surgery. This surgery also known as sleeve gastrectomy or vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG).
I appreciate your honesty I found this really interesting and knowledgable. I think deep down just from observing you- there seems to be some sort of mental battle/ fear with your body image still. No matter how many changes you make - full self acceptance is a game changer. No matter the loose skin, the saggy parts, eventually we’re all going to grow old and that’s beautiful in itself. Thanks for sharing and learnt a lot
Thank you, I’ll be honest. Having lost the weight I am the happiest with how I look, I’ve also been in therapy so mentally now I’m stronger. I think after putting this video out it wont even be my focus anymore- as much as I’m doing the fat freezing which was offered to me, it’s not that serious, if my love handles remain I’ll be fine. At the same time, I’ve come this far so I may as well continue (in a healthy way) 🤍
@@BreenyLee Yh I feel like the weight gain was the main thing for you but now that you got that out the way you feel more happier and at peace.. and the fat freeze thing is just basically like why not since you have the financial funds to do it .. I get you ❤
Wow! I watch your videos here and there and HONESTLY I didn't even see your weight gain until this weightloss video! You always looked so beautiful to me and you still look amazing! Glad you are more comfortable in your skin! Thanks for sharing your story!
I am here watching your video and saying myself, you actually took a journey to get the body you always wanted. What's even fascinating is, you manage to keep your muscle mass. That's usually very hard to do when you perform surgery like yours. You look great.
She was slim and fit before years ago and did not gain that much to have no muscle memory.
Im loving this black women “new me 2023” energy. Everyone seems to be sooo focus on pouring into themselves 🎉🎉💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿😊
I am glad you mentioned Keto and IF because like you, all the weight came back too during Covid-19, and with a slower metabolism it's worse now. This time I am going slow, portion control and frequent exercise. Congratulations 🎊 on your weight loss.
Thank you for your honesty and transparency this is why I love you, you do not sugar coat things. You just get straight to the point.
Breezy you look amazing. How has this weight loss surgery affected your faith? Is this something you prayed about before hand? I too was skinny all my life and then a bad break up devastated me. I know mentally I have been in a fog for two years. Your video was real, raw, no holding back and inspiring! Thank you for sharing. I can’t do surgery because of intubation issues but I am going to lose this 45 pounds. The challenge is on! When I lose it I would love to show before and after pictures on your channel and maybe interviewed. By the way I am 61 years old. Not a spring chicken lol. But by the grace of God I will succeed because I have lupus and this is affecting my joints, feet and hands. God Bless you Breeny. What a platform he has given you
Weight lost surgery will be on the rise soon, when I first saw how much weight Breeny lost I thought she got sick or something very stressful had happened that caused the extremely weight lost, but after hearing that she got surgery not to lie it was sadden and somewhat of a turn off. Then I quickly realized that, it’s not my body and that I should mind my business. At least she’s not lying about it, great video all and all.
It's sad because all these influencers want to be publick figures but can't master something as obvious as food, portion control and exercise that they could have learned without surgery. It's so sad that little girls look up to influencers and want to look like them when they dont even look like this naturally just shows me that most of them are quite weak mentally and also causing the unrealistic body standards on social media that are putting a lot of young girls under pressure these days.
@@tessy28 💯
I've watched you from the beginning and you are honestly incredible! I properly got into your videos through lockdown and they honestly helped me so much so thank you! This was such an intimate video and it was nice that you shared this with everyone, it takes a lot of strength to be able to do that. I'm happy for you Breeny you're a literal legend and you're beautiful inside and out, it really isn't anyone's business (& sadly haters are always gunna hate), but brave of you to share this ❤️
I watched this ENTIRE video from start to end. All I have to say is *THANK YOU SO MUCH* ❤
You better GO GIRL! I’m so happy for you. You’re making tough decisions for yourself and that’s not always easy. Thank you for your transparency. You look amazing!
Thank you ❤
This is one thing I absolutely love about you and I am learning for myself. It is honesty, openness and owning your truth. I loved the fact that you owned your body before, owned your reason for the change, owned the look, owned the decisions you made and owned the results. It is truly inspiring. Thanks for being you Breeny! ❤
❤
I’m so proud of you, Breeny. I love when a person decides to action to achieve a goal and be happy. You are so much more radiant and happier! I’m for it Queen. Don’t let anyone tell you how to live your best life. You’re in it, love. Be beautifully and abundantly blessed. 🥰❤🙏🏾🙌🏾👏🏾🔥👑
This video made me feel so emotional! I’m a UK size 10 but my weight fluctuates a lot and have IBS which brings its challenges. I really enjoy food & have a great appetite. I got emotional when you mentioned how your relationship with food has changed! You can’t eat like before & enjoy the same food which I understand! But wow, that’s a life changing experience! I commend your honesty and transparency!
Thank you Breeny for being so transparent, open and honest about your surgery, you've inspired more people than you know and I'm one of them. For years I've hid my unflattering big belly behind clothes and I can't wear what I like and I've considered surgery but fear has held me back.
My sister had a tummy tuck with muscle repair and lipo 8 weeks ago and she looks AMAZING!!! After 3 kids thus has inspired me alot ❤️❤️ thank you.
And you look AMAZING by the way!!
Thank you queen, you’ve just got to do what works for you and have peace with whatever decision you make ❤
Surgery always seems to solve the problem. But in reality we have entered a different realm which comes with different other problems. Key is to always be grateful and follow God. We as humans aren't ever going to be satisfied or escape life issues...we can overcome them through faith amd loving God. I am proud of you and I ask you to continue to trust God.
