6mo diet offically started



Recommended Posts

As of 9/13/09 my 6 mo diet for insurance approval has offically begun. I talked to my "life coach" for 45 minutes and will have to do this every 2 wks to begin with. I have 14lbs to lose to qualify for surgery. That doesnt seem like much but during this 6 months I will have halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years and Valentines days..and also 3 bdays, and 1 anniversary. I dont even know what kind of diet I should attempt? The life coach just has me starting with increasing Water and decreasing caffeine.

Wish me luck. I WILL do it.

Guess its time for me to get a ticker :mad2:

Good luck to you, Laurie. I, too, had to do a 6-month preop diet. I started mine in September 08, and had all the holidays, plus an anniversary and three birthdays (wait, are we the same person? :mad2:). I didn't have a set amount I had to lose. Mine was sort of strict in that I had 2 Protein Shakes and one small meal a day. Maybe yours isn't as severe. Everything was going pretty good until the holidays. I stopped losing, but didn't gain. Then I got pneumonia and lost a couple of months of dieting. Got back on track, so it ended up the end of July 09 for me to get surgery. I hope yours goes much more smoothly! I did lose almost 45 pounds preop, so that was a nice start.

Best of luck to you in your journey! :thumbup:

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
