Just beginning - so confused.

Thank you travelmego and vanessak8. Great information. I'm working on the supervised diet. I'm still not doing really good. I have not lost anything yet. I figure this is a new week and I can start over. I understand the idea of failing this diet. I have failed at every diet my whole life. I hope they take that into consideration. I haven't started the approval process yet because I won't have insurance that covers the surgery until June 1. At that time I can start the approval process. The doctor just said I should start the physician supervised diet to get that requirement out of the way. So, it's onward and upward!

Thanks again for the info and encouragement.

I'm not so sure failing at the supervised diet is the plan. My surgeon made me sign an agreement that I would lose on this diet to show that I was ready for the lifestyle changes necessary to be successful and any weight gain could potentially delay surgery.
