MIMISAN 404 Posted September 16, 2015 I just had my NUT visit for my 4th month of supervised dieting and I am so proud of myself. I have lost 30 lbs! I was worried about this month because I got 2 heart stents on August 28th and they wanted me to do more of a cardiac diet which adds more fruits and vegetables and even with the addition of more fruit I still lost weight. At this point I don't have to worry about going under the BMI requirement (after all I am built like a fire plug) but these small victories keep me going. I am hoping to have my surgery in December. Before Christmas if necessary but preferably the week following. Wish me luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BairwithMe 144 Posted September 16, 2015 Built like a fire plug. that made me smile.Congrats on the weight loss. We dont have to do the supervised diet here in northern california. I might go crazy. we already have to jump through so many hoops! Good luck to you. sounds like you are doing great. I have my surgery scheduled for Oct 19th - have been trying to get it done for over 4 months. all the best. Ramona Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MIMISAN 404 Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) im on month one of the 6 month supervised diet i go to see my nut in two weeks and i need to lose about 2 pounds any suggestions for a newbie The only suggestion I have is to stick to the carb requirements you get. They want me to eat 30 grams of carbs which is tough. I usually end up between 30 and 45 which is WAY less than I use to eat. Eat meats, eggs,cheeses and low sugar veggies. I did give up cokes and ice cream totally. But I am determined to be less fat in my future. Good luck. Edited September 18, 2015 by MIMISAN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
