Recommended Posts

i can provide 6 months diet history and 5 yr weight history from my doc.

i got the 5 yr weight history from my doctor... but... i have a question. i was told that weight watchers counts as history... so i have 4 months of it. all my weigh ins are hand written in..... ummm what are ya'lls thoughts on just completing the weigh ins myself??? my aunt told me to do it! she had to tell "white lies" to get approved so she said go for it! i need some more opinons!!!!

Great! You give me hope! I too have UHC, and was told by them that is what I need as well....at least on one of the 5 calls I've made to them....each time I've called I've gotten a slightly different answer.

I also did WW and just got to the 25 wk mark, then no more entries....I wrote one in for the 26 week, just for good measure! LOL! Hope it's ok....I still did the program for a few more weeks, but i didn't pay for anymore of the meetings. Plus my doc can attest to my attempts as well, so I'm hoping I won't have problems getting approved....I have a BMI of 37, but HBP, and family history of diabetes, heart disease and cancer.

I just started my pre-op testing today.

As for 'fudgin'' the numbers, I'd say go for it, but I'd be nervous about doing it for too many weeks.....but who am I to call the kettle black...I did it with one week.

      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.
