I cut out carbs including sugar, pasta, grains, desserts, corn, processed foods, soda, etc like a year ago. I have PCOS so I am insulin resistant. I am not sure what more to cut out. I drink mainly water. I have coffee with sugar free flavored creamer and a sugar free red bull everyday. I typically eat wheat free gluten free on a daily basis. We try and have at least 2 veggies with dinner every night.

I have to do a 6 month supervised diet prior to surgery. I only have to lose 10 pounds, but I have osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, and other health issues. All which make working out very painful. I have started working out but like I am not going to be able to do what I have to because the weight on my poor joints is killing me. What else can I do to lose maximum weight before surgery. I have heard I should lose as much as possible since you topically only keep 80% off. Or is it you only lose 80% of what you should? I don't remember. If you have advice on losing weight please help. I have 5 more months. Thanks, Niki

Does anyone have Amerihealth Mercy in PA. And if so, what hoops have you had to jump through, how long did it take to get approved? And any other info you could provide would be awesome.

I have my first appointment scheduled april 4th,2013. I am so super excited to get this done. I am wondering about my timeline from this point and what to expect.
