6 Month Pre-op Diet

[ellynmae 1]

I am now on day 16 of the six month diet required by my insurance company. Anybody have any experience to share from your 6 mo. diet?

My insurance company also is making me do 6 months. After getting some clarification really what it meant is that I have to see my primary physician each month to talk about weight loss and changing habits. I am just at the end of the forth month. My husband has surgery in nine days for his sleeve.

Next week will be # 5 of 6 for me! Since I started my 6 mo doctor supervised diet - it's opened my eyes on how to eat better! I try make my meals a well balanced meal - (which I never did before) and watch my portion sizes. I've completely cut out junk food, and have weaned myself off of caffeine. I'm taking the weight off slowly. I weighed myself on my bathroom scale this morning and I'm down 15 lbs since January.

The best piece of advise I can give you is - if they required a food diary from you - use MyFitnessPal.com! I print off my monthly diary of food & exercise to take with me for each appointment. That way my NUT can see that I'm staying on track and it makes it easy for her to provide me suggestions on things I need to change in my diet.
