Going to my PCP today to get paperwork filled out for 6 month diet history. BCBS of Michigan said just have to show six months of consecutive attempts of diet history. Surgeon's office says doesn't have to be consecutive months, just 6 months in a 4 year time period. Ugh! So, better to play it safe than sorry, I do have a 4 month time frame I followed Weight Watchers and will show my Dr the online receipt. I finished WW not losing anything really, but went back to her two months later and tried Belviq for a few months. So with WW on board for 4 months, I'm sure we can come up with something for that two month gap when I didn't "formally" follow a plan. I still try to follow a pretty healthy diet since I have a lapband and still need to lose, and my Dr is encouraging this revision. Just looking for any tips/wording/ideas you have found to be helpful with the diet history! Thanks!

Atkins, there are also free online healthy eating websites that you can try out, there is also an app for "My fitness pal" that you can put on your phone. Any health membership or if you ordered any exercise DVD's most include some type of health eating plan with them. Good luck with you journey.

My program provided a form to be filled out at every visit listing weight and challenges, etc. Made the documentation simple (and irrefutable). Turned in 6 forms. Easy Peasy.
