@laxskii123 congrats! you are going to feel so great once you get this done! i was pretty petite to begin with also...i had always been like 110 and 5'7. i wanted to gain right before i had surgery though since i knew i would be losing a ton. so, i got up to 115 pounds right before surgery...and ended up getting down to 105 by the end of the 6 weeks. everyone loses a different amount, but i lost a good 10 pounds. hope that helps!

I love the broccoli cheddar from panera. My name is craig btw, I am seventeen and just got my braces on for the second time and am getting my upper and lower jaw prepared for the surgery! lately I have practically lived off the broccoli cheddar because it's so easy to eat haha. But anyways I have to get the same surgery you had. I have an open bite with a protruding jaw. I cannot wait to undergo the surgery and I am happy that's yours went well :) I would love to know how you're doing now! Alt

@ridr17 thanks so much craig! im doing fabulously at the moment, my mouth is working better than ever. ill probably be posting another video soon. i absolutely loved the soup, make sure you dont get tired of it, cause its probably the best tasting thing you will eat hahah. sorry to hear you have to get the surgery, but trust me, it is so worth it in the end. i know youll do just fine. good luck with everything!

@ItsPicklesAndNachoes haha ill make sure not to eat any of it until after the surgery then. i always get it when im sick though haha. thats what a lot of people have been saying, that the surgery is worth it. i was second guessing myself for the longest time and now im just totally excited about it! im surprised you got yours done when you were 15 though.. theyre making me wait for another half a year or so til im 18. ill be lookin out for that next video! you should check mine out too haha!

@ridr17 hahaha trust me, that stuff will keep you alive. best soup ever. yes, this surgery has really changed my life. i am so much happier, everything has improved for me. i questioned myself as well before getting it, but i knew it was the right thing to do. girls stop growing much earlier than guys do, so they said once i was done growing, i could get the surgery. but awww good luck with everything!! i wish you luck, you are going to be so glad you got this surgery! it is life altering.
