Pre newbie questions



Recommended Posts

Just got referred last week to Dr. Sampath in Bc. Apparently I will be contacted in 1-1/2 years. Ok expected that. What can I do to prepare? I know you need to log.your food, I guess.it.won't hurt to start now, anyone know a good program for that or pen, paper? Take a health class? Therapy? Any suggestions.. I'm very good at loosing 30-40 lbs but not keeping it off. What if I loose too much before my.1 st meeting scares me because maybe I'll be denied

Thank you for your time.

I thought my 6 month supervised weight loss requirement was along time. Geesh - 1 - 1 1/2 years? That sucks! I use My Fitness Pal to track food and activity. I am also going to extra counseling to learn how to stop emotional eating while I wait. Stay strong and patient!

Yes frustrating but they are top in their field. Sigh..found a place near me though that teaches heath and nutrition.. Looking to see if msp will cover. I want to be so overly prepared for this new journey.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
