I did talk to my GP and he said that with my blood condition it would be easy to Creatively mark it up to make it look like a diet program...I had my best blood test ever last month too!!! Plus, the fact that I have been on Xenical and Meridia for a couple years helps too. I know that it is wrong but, so is making me jump through hoops that I can't get through because I am to fat!@!@! Review committee my butt!!! What is a committee? A group of the unwilling, picked from the unfit, to do the unnecessary.

Thanks to all of you for your input!!!

Seems like Xenical and Meridia for 2 yrs would qualify anyway. I don't recall which hoops you're trying to avoid, but I would say that any medical testing required would be for your own safety and benefit. Good luck to you!

I have been on a special diet since 1995 and they are telling me that I have to do a 12 week diet to qualify. My GP said that what I have done to get my blood levels down is more than enough to qualify as a dietary requirement. Believe me honey I don't need anymore medical testing. I have things that have been tested so much they glow :P

I'm in Plano. It's northwest of me by about 8 miles. (To me, it just seems like an extension of Dallas. I hate how the one city converges upon another.):P

      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.
