Anyone with a 6month supervised diet?



Recommended Posts

Hi I'm almost done with my supervised diet but felling confused. Is the supervised diet consist of 26 weeks? I completed two sessions of three months each of 12 weeks. I don't want to get denied because of something so petty. Any advise is it completion of 2 (12 week rounds) or a total of 26 weeks? Am currently at week 22

I had a 3 month medically supervised diet. I just had to go meet my NUT once a month. I didn't have to lose weight but I couldn't gain any either. I believe if you go monthly it should suffice. Keep us posted. :)

It just occurred to me.....are you going weekly? Or monthly? ok sheesh I guess I should have keep my input to myself lol I dont know much about the 6 month medically supervised diet.....ahum sorry ;)

I had 6 month diet too. Had to go once every month and the final one was after the 6 month period so techinically 7 months. My surgeons office was very familiar about my insurance and what they required I followed everything to a tee. I also couldn't lose any weight or would drop below 40 BMI and my ins requires 40. I even called my ins before starting to make sure I was on the right track

I go weekly but assumed since each round is 3 months long I would complete 2 and be done. Like I mentioned I thought I had two weeks to go but I was wrong I have 4 more weeks to go. Which I don't mind but I don't want to go below 41 bmi just like yourself. I've already lost 42 pounds and losing 6 more pounds will put me at 40. I'm scared if I go below I will not qualify. I'm super nervous and anxious, I just wished I knew already.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
