6 Month Diet



Recommended Posts

I just finished my 6 month diet. First weigh-in appt didn't count. My nutritionist said I just needed to weigh less at the end than I did at the beginning. Make sure you get all of your other pre-surgery requirements met during this time. My 6 months flew by and I found myself still having to complete things to submit for approval.

Good luck - you're on your way!

Make sure you have them measure your height. I always thought I was 5'5-5'6 and I'm really 5'3 which helps because it made my BMI go up.

Same thing happened to me! I always thought I was 5'10. Turns out I am 5'8.5. I feel short now. <_<

Yes, my surgeon's office gave me a form to give to my PCP. They made 6 copies of it and we filled it out each month.

      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.
