two weeks out- what is everyone eating?
vanessa112 replied to Pinkbetty's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I'm two weeks and two days out first week lost 11 lbs and second week little slower at 6. I've been at the same weight for the past 3 days and am a little worried :/. Can't wait for mushie food really over just liquids. -
I had waited so long for this day and now that it happened I notice asking myself could I had done it myself? I lose 20 lbs pre surgery and was doing great. Now I'm thinking could I have done it on my own? I think as well if I could have I would have done it by now right? Hopefully this is just a small confused phase I'm going through :/. Wish me luck

Thanks so much guys . Feeling better each day that goes by -
So Monday is my surgery date! I have been waiting what feels like forever for this and i cant believe how quickly it finally did arrive. Im excited but scared. I want to make sure i can handle this change that will come my way. Ive been on liquid diet for about two weeks now and have lost 17lbs. The only thing on my mind right now is not falling behind in school and making sure when i go back to work i can handle it all. As for now wish me the best ).

Since i was super young i have always been one of the biggest if not the biggest girl in my class. I always had tons of friends, in elementary i was vice president of my school council. In jr high i was in asb and as i got to high school played junior varsity softball and was best offensive player. Throughout my years the only thing that would hold me back i believe was my weight. All my friends were always at a healthy weight. In my family all my cousins were at a healthy weight so i was always the biggest one. Throughout the years i kept gaining weight and tried numerous diets. I’m only 20 and weigh 367lbsan 5'6. Like everyone I’m sure i had many of those days that i sat there thinking and put myself down due to my weight. My family is huge and all very loving, typical Mexican family. To every birthday or event there is a party behind it. Great tasty high calorie very fattening dishes you cannot escape from. I’ve tried many diets and when they work I’m just on a roller coaster going back up then back down. A friend of my cousin i knew from way back when go the lap band. I knew her before and i hadn't seen her for many months until i did see the end result. She looked great and you could see her glowing, she had lost about 100 lbs and was enjoying every second of it. I can say she opened my eyes to having surgery done so after a couple days of research and talking to my doctor i knew the sleeve was for me. My doctor referred me and told me this was something that would change my life and if i don’t a huge step like this i can get diabetes by the time I’m 23 . I got my opt date which is September 19. I’m counting down the days like if it was Christmas and can’t wait ! I’m so happy for this and thank God for a great opportunity like this. Hopefully in a year from now i loose all my necessary weight and get to join the marines or army and for that I’m am super excited for . -
aww so happy for u

vanessa112 posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hi everyone, I’m Vanessa and am 20 years old. I started this because i want to read and see different journeys so i am excited to see what i'll find. I will be having my surgery in September and ever since i got my date i have been having these nightmares! I wake up in the middle of the night because i can’t stand the pain after surgery and i even dreamt once that i felt everything during surgery! I’m so excited for this but i can't understand why I’m getting so nervous. I knew this is going to be a great new chapter in my life and i can’t wait. -
