Diet choice for insurance requirement



Recommended Posts

Hiya, was just wondering what others have done diet wise for there 6 month diet requirement from thier insurance company.

I have been on a supervised HCG diet through a local office here in my town and can not complain about the results so far.

I ate normally throughout and did not have to lose weight

Ditto. I did nothing, I was required to not lose weight but even if I had been higher bmi I think they would have just required that I not gain anything.

Mine required a three month supervised diet, but no weight loss was required.

Does your insurance require you to lose weight or is it your doctor? You may want to look into that

I had 6 month required. No gains was the key. I lost very little. Learned so much the last 6 months. No regrets for the wait. I feel as if "I gotz this" is written across my soul. The mental prep over the last 6 months has been HUGE and helpful!!

      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.
