  1. I have completed 3 months of the 6 month supervised diet. I didnt do the best and managed to gain 15lbs but I have 3 months to lose the 15lbs and hopefully plus some. I checked in for my second doctors visit weight check and only have one more Doctor visit weight check which will be October 17th.
     
    I started the Medifast Diet to try and lose the 15lbs plus some. You eat 5 of their meals plus one lean (protein) and green (Veggies) meal. This is my second day and will jump on the scale next week. I chose this diet because they also have a bariatric diet plan for banded patients (Liquid Pre-Surgery diet and soft foods post surgery).

  2. 6 Month Supervised Diet

    Hi Y'all......
     
    This is my first Blog! I am currently doing my 6 month supervised diet before I can be banded to get it covered by insurance. A little over view, I considered Lap Band many years ago and kept putting it off thinking I could lose the weight and do it myself only to become heavier. The Hubby and I decided to try and have a baby before getting the surgery after two years of trying and some fertility help we were still not pregnant and decided to just go ahead with the weight loss 6 month supervised diet. One month before my 6 month supervised diet was going to be completed and having done all my pre-surgery lab work and my psych evaluation, I found out I was pregnant! I was so bummed and upset. Now I was only going to get bigger.
     
    Well I had my baby girl Dallas (9lbs 4oz / 22.5 inches) 8 weeks ago and couldn't be happier! I love her so much and she was worth the wait and starting over. I did develop gestational diabetes with my pregnancy which has gone away now. I only gained 12 lbs with my pregnancy which I lost 13 lbs by my 6 week postpartum visit.
     
    So here I am and having to start my 6 month supervised diet again. Insurance states is has to be 6 consecutive months.
