My insurance is one of many that requires a 6 month medically supervised diet before they will approve surgery. My bariatric office has a medical dr. that is supervising me during this time and I go in for another appt. with her on Tuesday after having been on this program for 2 months now. And I've not been sticking to the program well. I've tried but man, I'm so burned out on dieting that I'm having a hard time sticking with anything consistently. I'll do fine for a couple days and track everything I eat but eventually I give in to the hunger and rebel against the deprivation. I totally feel like a failure and I'm in a funk about it. I dread going in there and having gained weight or at least not having lost any. Blah! If I could diet and be successful on my own I wouldn't need the freaking surgery! Sticking to a 1500 calorie low carb diet just feels like torture... mentally mostly. I know I need to get my act together and jump through all the necessary hoops though. Thanks for letting me rant. Anyone else have a hard time with their supervised diet?

I know exactly how you feel....I'm on a 3 month supervised diet and I'm really stressing because I'm trying not to gain weight. My surgeon doesn't want me to lose either because I'm right at a 35 BMI with High Blood Pressure and sleep Apnea.....so I'm super stressed....I feel like I want to eat everything that's bad like bad carbs and sugar. I'm hoping for a November or December surgery date. I'm so ready to get on the losers bench!!!!

Yep, in the beginning I was all like, "I can't lose more than 20 pounds or I won't qualify." Now I'm like "Maybe if I only drink Protein shakes before my next weigh in I will counter act those giant cheeseburger pounds I put on this week." It's crazy. I need to lose weight to prove I can follow a program but I can't lose too much or I won't qualify... so I say screw it and go looking for chocolate. Insanity.
