Hello! My name is Jen and December will be month #5 of my 6 month physician supervised diet required by UHC. My BMI is 52 (245, 4'9") I'm super excited, but kinda scared. I hope that is normal. I'm curious to know if I should start taking certain vitamins right now? My surgeon didn't tell me to, but I read somewhere or watched a video that mentioned starting early. Also, is there a specific way of eating that I should start to prepare myself? My physician is really just going through the motions with me to get me through the insurance approval; however, I am trying to reduce calories and exercise. Any insight is welcomed and very much appreciated! Oh, forgot to mention, I'm from Dallas and my surgeon is Dr. Kuhn at Baylor. Thank you!

Hi Jen. I am 10 post op. I heard you should start before but I started after make sure you have purchased everything. Eating wise I ate what I wanted but did not binge two weeks out started to eat healthy and had to do a liquid diet I had to lose 10 pounds. Good luck!
