Hello. Im 42 and 260. My surgery will be between oct and dec. Im going to be really bummed if its to long after oct. Thats when my 6 months is over. Im wondering if they are going to change my diet? So far they have just added a Protein shack once a day. Nice to meet you all

I suggest Protein Shake for Breakfast andlunch a lean Protein and veggies for dinner and fresh raw veggies for Snacks stay away from carbs and sugars I lost 30 lbs in 3 weeks doing that pre op. The more weight you lose the safer your surgery will be. Its hard but you can do it. Start walking every day. When I go to the store I park the furthest spot available so it forces me to walk

You must have tufts health insurance I have 3 weeks left till my 6 months is over then I can get approval

I think my insurance is normal?

I have group health and had a six month wait with Dr visits and dietitian. Then i had another wait that lasted four months due to bacteria in my stomach.

Congratulations! I cant wait for mine

It was a long wait... but i am so happy i didn't give up hope. I am down a little over 30 lbs and my oldest daughter is down 15 lbs by eating healthy which means more to me than my weight loss. If she can learn to be healthy at 12 maybe she will never need surgery or diet and regain over and over again.
