Three month diet? What does the diet consist of? I had a 4 month waiting period in which I had to complete stuff like 2 nutritional counseling appointments, psych eval, blood work, medical clearance, sleep study, 10 lb weight loss and a 2 week pre-op diet which consisted of 2 Protein Shakes and 1 meal of 3 - 4 oz of lean meat, 1 cup of veg, 1 cup of fruit (no dairy). The 2 week diet was the surgeon's requirement to shrink my liver for easier band placement (and helped me meet the 10 lb weight loss).

It's a diet that insurance makes you go through 3 months before the fact ... It determines whether they approve it or not. I have to write down everything I eat for three months and I have to write down behavior methods I've changed. Idk how to do it... It i have to change what I eat right away or do I simply go about my day and just write everything down ?

I think to be sure I would call the insurance coordinator at your Drs office.... they have no doubt been asked this before. Better to be safe than sorry.

I have a six month diet to complete. I was told to write everything that I eat down. I've been trying to stick to a 1200 calorie diet, 8-10 glasses of Water and some kind of exercise daily.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
