I just had my NUT visit for my 4th month of supervised dieting and I am so proud of myself. I have lost 30 lbs! I was worried about this month because I got 2 heart stents on August 28th and they wanted me to do more of a cardiac diet which adds more fruits and vegetables and even with the addition of more fruit I still lost weight.

At this point I don't have to worry about going under the BMI requirement (after all I am built like a fire plug) but these small victories keep me going. I am hoping to have my surgery in December. Before Christmas if necessary but preferably the week following.

Wish me luck!

Built like a fire plug. that made me smile.Congrats on the weight loss. We dont have to do the supervised diet here in northern california. I might go crazy. we already have to jump through so many hoops! Good luck to you. sounds like you are doing great. I have my surgery scheduled for Oct 19th - have been trying to get it done for over 4 months.

all the best.

The only suggestion I have is to stick to the carb requirements you get. They want me to eat 30 grams of carbs which is tough. I usually end up between 30 and 45 which is WAY less than I use to eat. Eat meats, eggs,cheeses and low sugar veggies. I did give up cokes and ice cream totally. But I am determined to be less fat in my future.

Good luck.
