Nutri System Diet?



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm waiting for insurance approval and am feeling very impatient at this point.

I'm thinking of going on the Nutri system diet until I get a banding date because I am feeling so motivated and don't want to lose this motivation feeling (If you know what I mean).

I've known I wanted banding back in January and it's taken so much time to get this far. Did anyone eles feel this way?

I think we all felt that way at some point. But tons of us already tried Nutrisystem and many other expensive and useless diets. Save your money and be patient. Just my opinion.

I agree that you should save your money, but you don't have to lose that motivation! Use this time to practice eating like a bandster, small portions and chew chew chew. You can lose weight that way even if you don't have the band to help you. It just won't be easy, so you'll need all the motivation you can muster. Good luck!!

Not only did I lose weight on the Nutri system, but I also lost my gall bladder!

Be patient, practice the Bandster way, and save your money.

Thank you for the comments I think that I will try a bandsters diet for a while and see if I can tolerate eating so little, (at least while I wait for the real deal).

Try a low carb diet. When I was first diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, I went on a 10 carb a day diet. (Per a registered dietician.) I lost 24 lbs and have kept it off since then. I also switched from regular to diet pop, drank sugar free koolaid, crystal light and ate sugar free and lowfat items. I had to wait a whole year before I was banded because DH's insurance considered it a pre-existing and would not cover it till we were married a year. It will happen for you, but I wouldn't waste money on high price FAD diets they aren't worth it.

I agree with the others, start the bandster mentality start taking smaller bites, chewing chewing chewing and not drinking with your meals and waiting an hour after to drink, Protein first, veggies , fruits then carbs, I you can do well with all of this it will benefit you greatly after you have your band

I did the Nutri-System thing in the 1980's!!! Yes, I lost weight, but the minute you stop eating their food....hello pounds again. They do not teach you how to eat for the rest of your life. I remember the diet being not too bad, but my mom (I was still living at home) said I was a raving bitch while on Nutri-Systems!!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
