  1. Hi, all. I'm Sophia. I am 22 year old and I'm 5'2", 265 lbs (yikes) and have just begun this journey in the last few weeks. I am paying out of pocket so the journey is definitely expedited..which seems awesome but I'm slightly nervous. I began gaining weight in freshman year of high school - I went from 120 to 150 in less than two months. It has just gotten worse from there. I work out and try to eat correctly, but clearly it has not worked out. I do all of my testing (cardio and psych) as well as the nutrition meeting, and hopefully I will begin my two week liquid diet and have the surgery on Halloween. I have been reading as much information as I can get about the surgery but I wanted to ask for any advice from y'all. What foods do you avoid at all costs (other than the obvious dumping syndrome inducing foods). What do you wish you knew before you started? What is the hardest thing you've dealt with and why? How did you overcome this? Thank you for reading.
