Ex I can have yogurt, eggs, and toast but it has to be whole wheat bread, and my snack has to be something healthy but I barely have a snack. Dinner I can only have meat and vegetables. . No sodas plenty of water but I use the crystal light packets for the water. . Thank you for the encouragement. @@gerbils8118 I am using my fitness pal app and I just picked up a fitbit. I synced both of tgem together. .

Omg I was looking for Fitbit user on here the other night please everyone send me request as well @ lakeishamashford@gmail.com

@@gerbils8118 I didn't have to lose any weight, but since I have been on this supervise diet I have lost a total of 10Lbs, I am just afraid if I loose 2 much my bmi will drop to lower and my insurance will deny the surgery. This is really a struggle , but with the support that I am receiving is making it a lot easier for me to stay focus. I keep pushing you will get through it.????

Congratulations!!!

@gerbil8118 are you required to lose wait for your 6months preop diet?

My Nut wants me at 140 but I would love to be at 130.

I have fibromyalgia as well my surgery won't be until December, I don't think surgery will stop the pain because it's nerve pain.

Hello Everyone ????! I 've been using my fitness pal for some time now and I just brought a Fitbit sat. I synced my fitness pal to the Fitbit. My problem is when I look at my Fitbit account it tells me that I am under budget because I have 860 in / 2,243 out. I don't seem to know what I am not doing right! I am not required to do a calorie count, but I feel like if I am going to use these to app why not start counting my calories... Can anyone help me figure this out???

@@snowkitten thank you ????! I thought I was going something wrong. Doing not going

@neequa55 I will be either a December or January .

I told my coworkers at my m-f job and they are very encouraging and a few people at my weekend job knows and one of my coworkers had the bypass done, she was my motivation to do the surgery. I haven't said anything to my family, just my cousin and my husband and kids. Have you told anyone?

@@CurvyCooper I have 4 nut classes left, had one psych visit have to do another one next month, had my sleep study last night and I go see the cardiologist tomorrow. The ball just started rolling for me.

Congratulations and good luck !

@@CurvyCooper who are you going through to have your surgery? I live in Smyrna and going through Dr. Barnett at Surgical Associates

I went to my psych evaluation today but I had to see the counselor first, I got back in August to see the psychologists. He just asked a bunch of questions, like mentioned before wanted to know about the support you have, what things you have tried to lose weight and why did I want to have the surgery? At the end he found no reason why I couldn't be cleared . Now I just have to wait for my 2nd appointment with the psychologist because he has the final say.. Good luck ????, I am sure you will be fine !

@@paige 1966 Hi sounds like we all will be having our surgery around the same time. I can't wait to get started as well.

@@sandylyn88 my appt went well my Nut was very impressed with how much weight I lost in a month. She said looks like I know how to eat but have to stay consistent with it and to make sure I am exercising . I have to find a way to get my exercise in.

I need help and ideas on what to eat?? Tomorrow will be my second out six nutrition class and I am already going crazy on what to eat.. I received paperwork listed with things I can have , but I can't buy them right now. For the past month I have been eating nothing but chicken, fish, oatmeal, boiled eggs, and light ant fit Greek yogurt. I find myself getting bored eating the same things over and over again. Oh I have had salad and salmon too! I lost 6lbs doing what I am doing and happy with the results, just that if I eat chicken for lunch I don't want it for dinner! My plan allows me to eat 3 out 5 food categories, with no fruit it carbs after lunch or dinner. I just have to make sure I am eating my Protein. I need some food ideas so can you please post me some good things to try other than the usual or a way I can be creative with what I eat. I really really want this to work . Thanks to everyone in advance ! I feel like a lost puppy.

@@Mini_me007 thank you will check it out .
