So I've been battling obesity for a very long time. One day I seen my doctor paperwork say 'morbid obesity' and diagnosed as prediabetic I knew something had to change. So through research I learned that my insurance paid for gastric sleeve. So weighing in at my highest 260 I began my six month nutrition classes. So far I've lost 20lbs which was what I was required to lose on my own to qualify. August the 5th is my preop class and august the 17th is my surgery date. I'm alittle nervous but mostly excited. I began my liquid diet on August 3rd, what a journey that'll be. I'll be getting my surgery in Washington DC at the age of 28. Inbox with any questions.

Welcome! Did you already start on your liquid diet?Omg, this liquid diet is becoming tougher and tougher. Now that I'm only 3 days away from surgery I have gotten so bored with the Water and Protein drinks. It didn't help I came on my monthly too. Wooo girl.... The only thing I done had was a peppermint but I spit it out. I jitsu needed some flava. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

I began this process early March 2016, before then I didn't even know what gastric surgery was. My BMI was 44 and I am prediabetic. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App
