Hi everyone! I am a “newbie” here, and I’m also new to the *Wonderful World of Weight-loss Surgery*. I started my process in November, my insurance requires a consecutive 6 month physician supervised diet,my appointment next week will make month 3 for me(halfway mark yay!!). This is my first time making a post, I mostly get on here to just read research, but I noticed that everyone is either post-op, or already on the liquid diet, so I’m looking for people to connect with that are currently still going through the process before approval like me...a little about myself: My name is Jaz I am 25yrs old.

MY STATS:

Height: 5”6

CW: 243(give or take)

HW: 250

GW: 140

BMI:39

Ok thanks

@ mfk_555hotmailcom I will keep you posted on my progress. Keep me posted on your also. .

Am I the only one still having sugar cravings? Im seeing the nutritionist, but even eating more protein isn't helping. I've done good with eliminating rice, pasta and potatoes

Mrs Rob I see good things ahead for you. Alas it will be prefessed by the dreaded liquid diet, Just keep saying This Shall Pass in between your bathroom breaks. That's something that's been worrying me, since I have 3 kidneys I'm already,on overdrive there.[emoji20]
