UHC 6mon diet question!



Recommended Posts

Hey all, I'm new to the board! I just have a question about whether any of you who had to do the 6 month supervised diet were able to do Weight Watchers online along with going in for visits with their physician? I'm worried that my insurance will think that the online version isn't enough, but I plan on going to my doctor every month and being weighed by him as well as documenting everything. I tried getting in touch with my case manager, but she was unavailable. I suppose I am just wondering because I'm so ready to get started on this journey that I want to know which one to sign up for, so that I can do it today hahaha! Thanks! - Mia

Get it in writing as to what plans they will accept. I have seen to many people find out that that the insurance people tend to blur the facts on what they will cover.

I just went for my consultation today and also have a 6 month weigh in .. The only thing they told me was not to gain no more weight and not to lose to much but to work on better choices of food. I have 5 more months so I'm hoping I can stay where I'm at .and work on these things .

Most of the time, the weight loss has to be medically supervised. Many insurances won't count ww.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
