In the United States, an obese student from Utah spoke about her life after she lost 123 kg, writes the Daily Mail. By the age of 24, Erica Olson weighed 190 kg. Every day, the girl drank more than 5 liters of soda, and for lunch and dinner she ate whole pepperoni pizzas and large portions of fast food. The American thought about losing weight after the warning of doctors who noticed that she was in a pre-diabetic state. The diagnosis frightened the girl, as complications associated with diabetes mellitus caused the death of her grandparents. “I thought: I'm only 24, I'm too young for such problems,” Olson admitted. In August 2018, she underwent gastric bypass surgery, a surgical procedure in which the volume of the stomach is reduced so that a person feels satiated faster while eating. Before that, the American was transferred to a liquid diet for 2 weeks. After two and a half years, the girl's weight decreased to 66.7 kg. In order not to get fat again, Erica carefully monitors her diet and makes sure to consume no more than 1800 kilocalories per day. “Occasionally I pamper myself. But always just a little. I hate the feeling that happens when you eat too much sugar,”the student admitted. In the future, Olson is going to go through another operation and remove excess skin. The American did not do this earlier, because she wanted her weight to stabilize at the same level at first.
