I will be getting my surgery in January/February 2014. Insurance requires 6 months of dieting. What kind of diet have ya all been successful with. I am type 2 diabetic and is newly diagnosed with it in April this year. The diabetic diet just isn't working for me. Any suggestions would be great. Thank you

I have the 6 month supervised diet also. It depends on your wgt at the initial visit and what ur insurance and surgeon requires. If your BMI is high some may require you to lose a certain amount of percentage of your wgt. My BMI I right on the line so I have not actually had to lose any wgt. Just maintain my wgt and learn new healthy habits. Had visits with my Surgeons PA every month and his Nutritionist. If you use your PCP for this they will monitor your wgt and BMI for the 6 months and make notes in your chart on your diet and exercise. The main thing is find out exactly what your insurance requires. If you actually have to do a diet mine suggested 1400 cals low carbs/high Protein. Eat protein and fruits and veggies. Healthy carbs only. They want you to stop all Soda's and calorie filled beverages. Increase Water and sugar free drinks. Learn to eat slowly. Increase daily activity. Begin a Multivitamin and Calcium. Those were my instructions.

Sent an email yesterday to everyone on your list. Here are a few of the responses I got back this morning so you can update your list.

Protos

We do not have samples to send but you can go on our website and order as little as 1 meat stick to try. It is www.protos-inc.com.

Celebrate Vitamins

We offer a sample pack on our website. It is a $3 pack with an array of our products in it. They also come with a coupon for $3 off of your first purchase with us.

Thanks, i'll update the list.

kind just sent me a free sample last week so thats weird. maybe they stopped giving free samples out for now?

Also protos gave free samples to my hospital so I figured they would send them out to people as well. GNC also carries them if you want to try them. Wasn't a fan of elk a ostrich but the turkey is good.

Thanks for the feedback. This is what I need to keep the list up to date.

Celebrate sent me that letter then sent samples anyway. I suggest emailing all of these companies. You may get samples anyway.

Just add a few more sites to the list.

also if you don't like the layout or have suggestions to make it easier to read please let me know. Gives me something to do on down times at work.

Thanks everyone.

This is good to know. Unfortunately, I don't live near a GNC and the only buying option I see on their website is whole boxes.

You can buy single bars on quests website. You can also buy a mixed box that comes with one of each of there flavors. This is what I did after I was recommend them by my nutritionist.

Following thread!

Ah, I see it now! Just had to scroll down a bit. As my mother would say when I claimed I couldn't find something, "How hard did you look?"
