1800martina 7 Posted August 1, 2016 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. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App I will ask my sister to take some pics before surgery. I already lost 3 kg when I stopped eating sugar/junk after seeing my surgeon, so I'm pretty optimistic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.
