My last weigh in is Thursday. 6 month diet was a complete waste of time.

I weighed in earlier this month (to get on birth control with my gp) and I was down to 265. I know it was because I had food poisoning 2 nights before and had it coming out both ends for those 2 days.

I'm nervous because I go in Thursday for my last appt with my NUT. I weighed today and I'm back up to 270. I started my 6 months at 275.

Do you think my insurance will take my weight at any point during the month or does it have to be the last day of my 6 months? Does that make sense?

I'd rather then see I lost 10 pounds rather than 5. Even though my weight is back up. Honestly I don't see how it makes a difference for the approval process.

I could see how it could make a difference for the actual surgery, but I'll be required to be on a 2 week liquid diet- which I'm sure I'll lose some.

Thoughts? Thanks

My surgeon's insurance coordinator told me that my insurance will go with my very first weigh-in, but every plan is different. It would be worth calling your surgeon's office and asking, if you are concerned about it.

My insurance coordinator told me as well that it won't be a problem as long as there isn't a net gain.

      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.
