hi everyone. Im new on here, umm im 20 yrs old and had the surgery on march 6. to be honest this has been the toughest part of my life thus far. im not gonna lie i loveeeeee food. but, i decided to get this surgery for health reasons only!. i love my body n i love being big. its different and its who i am. i just want to see my kids get married in the future(when i have kids) lol. any way, im ok with the surgery so far. in the beginning i thought i was dieing. i felt like a starving person. but like a week later my stomach was adjusting. i lost 18 pounds the first week. im gonna be on the soft foods diet soon. but im scared to gain weight. i have to say that is my greatest fear. but i know i can do this. im a fighter and i plan to fight this hunger. i have a lot of confidence in myself and i know that i can accomplish all the goals i set for my self. I just cant wait to put on that tiny, yellow, poka dot bikini lol:lol:
