Soo I started my Vlog!
TiffanyIsMajor replied to TiffanyIsMajor's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Actually, I was just freaking out about that today!...I don't have someone to do it, but Dr. Belancourt said I could use a tripod, and that wouldnt be a big deal. Well I just bought my digital camera thinking it could possibly film it, but I dont think it can stay on long enough to do it! = [ I need someone's camcorder and the only two relatives I know that have one can't let me use them bc they will be on vacation the same time I am in MX...so yea, freaking out! -

AWEE = D Mc I swear I don't actually mean it. I really just don't take myself too seriously in my day to day life. So when I mess up or say something wrong I call it like that..."That's not right, I am stupid" lol. Also I am EXTREMELY sarcastic...so that doesnt help either...I just don't want to come off like a know it all, this is all new to me too. Thanks for watching. P.S. I am filming another video today and it will be posted later tonight..I wont get home from school until like 9:30pm eastern time..but that is just a heads up to everyone = D -

Dr. Aceves patient's...HELP!
TiffanyIsMajor replied to Dalisgirl's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am NO help. BUT I am stubborn and not nice when cornered. I have told everyone in my family, "If you dont support me, then the conversation ends right there." I am an adult for the most part, and the only person who's opinion really matters is my fathers because he is paying for it. He says go for it. Everyone else can fuck off. Excuse my french.You are an adult with a child, and you are doing what is BEST for you and your heath and future, and the you are going to be around a long time for your daughter. As long as you truly believe that, then you will be just fine. -
I need new jeans. (funny story)
TiffanyIsMajor replied to ash's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
It will be a long time before I get to buy new clothes after surgery...I have a closet full of clothes in sizes I cant wear all the way down to 12-14...the day I make it out of those I will be a train wreck. Congratulations! -
Quick i need info
TiffanyIsMajor replied to TiffanyIsMajor's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Lol. My surgery is in MX, I am going alone..Thank God...But not leaving until April 19th...Oh and I live with my sisters...It really isnt that they are being horrible to me, I am just pretty much not talking about it because it always say things that start with "After surgery..." That always ends with my sister saying, "Well why dont you start a diet now, then you wouldnt need surgery" Everything is an easy answer for thin person talking about how to "fix" my problem. Am I the only person that wants to punch someone in the face when they are like, "Maybe if you didnt eat Burger King you wouldnt have a problem" SURELY NOT. Basically I am soooo excited, and honestly no one understands it but you guys. No one understands why, yes I am scheduled for vgs, but I cant stop sucking everything in the house down. No one gets why I don't want to do anything or go anywhere. Surgery is like a rebirth for me, and in my head Nothing I do now (short of herion) is going to affect my new life and journey.So NO I dont want a Diet coke right now, and NO I do not want to go to the gym. I know it sounds like I am just procrastinating ...but really I cant wait to get back to the gym...but I cant wait because I KNOW i'll see results, In my NEW life after my surgery. -
Quick i need info
TiffanyIsMajor replied to TiffanyIsMajor's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What is actually sad is that the only person in my family that has voiced their concern about my well being is my father, and he is the the one paying for the surgery. My sisters are mad because of it. To them, even though they are 19 and 23 it is "not fair" that I am having extra money spent on me. Especially for something "I can do on my own." That is actually the general consensus for the whole family. "I dont know why you cant just stop eating fast food three times a day and go to the gym." What really makes me mad is I do have a thyroid condition, and while it isnt hard for me to lose weight if I drop down to 1200 calories a day and work out 3 hours, if I stop doing that I WON'T maintain it. And I dont mean STOP and start eating fast food again. I mean the slightest slacking off and I stop losing weight and it is very discouraging. I work out 3 times harder than my 135 pound body conscience sister, but it doesnt matter because I am not as thin as her. Everyone is right when they say you don't have to defend your decision to go with WLS, and I didnt. I just think it is complete BULLSHIT that that people think because I am fat that it is TOTALLY fair that I DO work 3 times as hard as any skinny girl and that I should have constantly live in fear and depression of what I eat and how I live my life, AND STILL NOT BE THIN. I am so sick of hearing "Just do this... or Just do that"....you know what? Just kiss my fat ass because I know what I am doing is ultimately going to make me happy... AND you can say I did it the easy way, or whatever..but we both know who is going to look more attracting in the family photos for holidays come November and December this year. Jealous bitches. ::hops off soapbox:: Fine. I am through venting. -
I would think that "sterile" ...and "sterile to YOU" are two different things...What you are bringing in, on your OWN underwear probably wont harm you. Now if the surgeon walks in with someone else's panties on their head...that TO ME would make me question the sterilization of the OR. = D

Yet another question about passports....
TiffanyIsMajor posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Sooooo everyone has come to the basic conclusion that if you have your receipt of payment for your passport, a government issued photo id, and your birth certificate boarder patrol will let you back in the country. My question is what about a receipt for the payment of the card that they are giving out for ground and sea travel now? On the passport website it explains that the card is ust for land travel to MX and CA, and for sea travel to a few other places. Since I am driving into MX, I think it should count. It is only like 45 buck, and I am needing to be cheap, I am self pay = / U.S. Passport Card Any Ideas??? -
My birthday was the 15th and I am so JEALOUS of everyone who is already sleeved....I am still holding out until April 20th!

Yet another question about passports....
TiffanyIsMajor replied to TiffanyIsMajor's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Honestly I am just being cheap..I really dont want to get one because I KNOW that I wont use it again for at least a few years..that to me seems like a waste...especially when I am scrimping and saving every dime for the surgery = / -
Liquid egg whites as protein??
TiffanyIsMajor replied to Robbiehage's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Soo this egg protein doesnt actually taste like "egg" in a shake right? I know it is a totally stupid question but I am COMPLETELY LOST about protein...I am also trying not to buy anything until after surgery, I KNOW my taste will change they always do= [ -
Thanks...I DO know him we just lost touch over the last like 3 years, We had just really started talking again right before he went to Iraq. We now talk almost everyday online.. I mean we are pretty good friends at this point and I would LIKE to take a vacation with him to some place...And part of me wants to use this as motivation...and part of me is ...well scared shitless...

Soo my Computer is now reading my mind
TiffanyIsMajor posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
And it is freaking me out...Yes this is somewhat weight loss related = D. Ok we all know, no matter what type of anti-virus software you have or what computer of whatever that Google and places like that keep tabs on things that you search so that they can better advertise to you. Well the other day, a friend asked me how much I would like to weigh after this is all said and done, of course i'd "like" to weight 120 with 10 if it in my bra, but how unrealistic is that. I said I guess around 145/140 (although I still think that may be pushing unrealistic). Now of course I think about this all the time because my surgery is coming up. I had decided today that whatever weight I get to, I would really like to be able to reach fitness goals, as well as "weight goals" and that If I could fit into the clothes at Express comfortably, I would be BEYOND happy. I am on this site just browsing around, minding my own business and what is in the left margin? AN AD FOR EXPRESS. Seriously Google, How are you stalking my thoughts? -

question about protein shakes
TiffanyIsMajor replied to VV2010's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Actually now I dont understand... Sooooo even if we buy Whey protein ...and say it has like, I dont know I am making this up, like 40gm Of protein per 8 oz, and I drink that, I am not actually absorbing all of that protein, like I am not getting all 40 gm?? -

Worried stomach is to BIG
TiffanyIsMajor replied to nursechick78's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Are you drinking Water while eating? I am not 100% sure on this because I am Preop, but I do know that I can eat like an amazing amount of food, because I drink like crazy while I am eating....Just kinda washes the food right through... Tiffany -
I am a little under a month away from surgery.I screwed up and weighed myself the other day to discover I have GAINED 6 pounds and I am now sitting at a serious 270. I have to be eating everything under the sun! My Dr is requesting a 3 day liquid diet before surgery but I really think, I have to do something. I may try a couple weeks out to go off carbonation again. Maybe ill try a 21 day liquid diet....I am just worried like 2 day before surgery I am gonna be like "I want a steak so bad I could punch a crying baby." I kind of want a "last supper" but I am afraid if I make it too early it won't last me until surgery.

The Stigma of Being 'Fat' - New York Times
TiffanyIsMajor replied to youknowit's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Well, I am 24 (as of march 15th), and I am in hair school. The best job I ever had, I was hired in at about 180 pounds. I actually lost weight while there, and was fired for being a total crazy bitch, I weighed 163. That was in October 2007. I have YET to find a job, since then, although I wont lie I haven't been diligently looking either. I am the largest I have ever been though now, and I will say I cant help to relate to the experience in this article. In the 5 or some interviews I have had I have expressed that I am willing to take minimum wage, and that I am ok with whatever schedule because I am in school. Every time I just feel like I am being looked down at almost. I thought "No this cant be, I am STILL attractive, just a little fat" That is part of the reason I am doing this (the surgery), I will be working in the beauty industry, and just like being in front of the camera, there really seems to be no room for any extra weight. I mean i DONT want to be fat, and while I love to eat, I am ok to eat in moderation if it means ill be thinner and happier. It just all pisses me off because I cant even seem to nail down a crappy RETAIL job during the holiday season because of my size 24 ass.
