I will be getting my surgery in January/February 2014. Insurance requires 6 months of dieting. What kind of diet have ya all been successful with. I am type 2 diabetic and is newly diagnosed with it in April this year. The diabetic diet just isn't working for me. Any suggestions would be great. Thank you

I have the 6 month supervised diet also. It depends on your wgt at the initial visit and what ur insurance and surgeon requires. If your BMI is high some may require you to lose a certain amount of percentage of your wgt. My BMI I right on the line so I have not actually had to lose any wgt. Just maintain my wgt and learn new healthy habits. Had visits with my Surgeons PA every month and his Nutritionist. If you use your PCP for this they will monitor your wgt and BMI for the 6 months and make notes in your chart on your diet and exercise. The main thing is find out exactly what your insurance requires. If you actually have to do a diet mine suggested 1400 cals low carbs/high Protein. Eat Protein and fruits and veggies. Healthy carbs only. They want you to stop all Soda's and calorie filled beverages. Increase Water and sugar free drinks. Learn to eat slowly. Increase daily activity. Begin a Multivitamin and Calcium. Those were my instructions.

Thanks, i'll update the list.

kind just sent me a free sample last week so thats weird. maybe they stopped giving free samples out for now?

Also protos gave free samples to my hospital so I figured they would send them out to people as well. GNC also carries them if you want to try them. Wasn't a fan of elk a ostrich but the turkey is good.

Thanks for the feedback. This is what I need to keep the list up to date.

Celebrate sent me that letter then sent samples anyway. I suggest emailing all of these companies. You may get samples anyway.

Quest has a limit on samples. They will get more in.

GNC has a promotion going on where you buy 3 quest bars you get 1 free. If you buy some and don't like them GNC will take them back.

They are my favorite Protein bar and recommend them.

This is good to know. Unfortunately, I don't live near a GNC and the only buying option I see on their website is whole boxes.

You can buy single bars on quests website. You can also buy a mixed box that comes with one of each of there flavors. This is what I did after I was recommend them by my nutritionist.

      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.
