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

Yay I love it when I am adorable = D

It only goes to my elbow but thank you...It is going to be a reward to myself when I reach goals I can finish parts of it = ]

Lol, my hair changes daily..but that is just regular ol' me....= ]

Hey everyone!

I mentioned earlier that I was going to start a Vlog channel on youtube, and I have. I have already posted one video, and am in the process of posing another for you guys. I like it because I dont really think people understand how stupid I am so I am sure the videos will give you an idea. I am hoping that people later on can use them as a reference for what happens before during and after the sleeve. Take a look! = D

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.

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!

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.

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.

If anything it proves your family love you enough to want to be involved.....but I can understand your nervousness.....I won't be telling any of my family (maybe after the event but not before....) as I know they will try and talk me out of it.

Why not find some links you can email him to look thru.....with information etc.

Also sit and explain to him why you want it.... many people (especially those who have never had weight issues) can't get their head around diets /yoyoing etc let alone surgery to help you.....

I'm sure if you do a search on here you'll find some info to help you.

Good luck

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

My birthday was the 15th and I am so JEALOUS of everyone who is already sleeved....I am still holding out until April 20th!

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 = /

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= [

Ok so some of you know my dad ran his mouth to my ENTIRE family and now all of them are up in my business. My uncle sent me a text stating that he was going to call me tomorrow to "talk" about my decision. While I give two shits honestly, I WOULD like to be armed with some concrete info to tell him, but I really don't know what exactly to say. Can sone of you help me out, Like maybe the statistics on the regain rate in someone without surgery...things of that nature?

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...

Yes on the way INTO Mexico.....Do they stop you to check for a passport?

Uhh I am doing the same thing and my surgery is a MONTH from now, by then I will have packed on an extra 20 pounds

= [

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??

Maybe if I streaked through the room naked that could relieve some of the tension in here.

::and I just tripped::

Damn

Ok so some of you may or may not have read my threads here and there but most of you dont know a bunch about me. So I guess it is show and tell for me, for my sanity sake. Ok, here is the story, I am in love with a guy that I recently reconnected with. I have known him since I was very young. My family moved away, and we ran back into each other like 2 weeks before he left for Iraq, (we bumped into each other in a bar,intoxicated) he only saw me the once and to be honest I dont think he remembers it much. I HAVE NOT told him about the surgery mostly because I dont want him to have "Oh, she is fat?" on his brain. I just think it will have a stigma attached to it. Well he is coming home at the beginning of October, so I already have this mind frame that I need to do everything I can do Before he comes home, and then Ill explain why I can barely eat or drink..lol. BUT THE REASON I AM FREAKING OUT IS.... We were talking about taking a little vaca when he gets home..well I said "We should go on vacation" and he said "Ok, lets go to Key West"...Which didnt totally hit me until he said "We can go to fantasy fest, everyone is naked, body painted and drinks in the streets" Now I dont know about you, but RIGHT NOW that actually sounds more like my own personal hell. I am about to jump the nearest cliff...NAKED? BODY PAINT? WTH? Now he is totally serious and I may have to go..We arent "together" I just dont want him to come home go to Key West after being in Iraq for a year, and somehow magically find a girlfriend...mostly because i'll have to kill her, and I dont want to go to jail!

Ugh this is just badddd.

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?

So do they not stop anyone coming in to MX at all?

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...

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.

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???
