I am one month into the six month required diet monitoring. My surgeon has a 45 carb a day diet. I asked if net or actual she said net for now is OK. I was doing really good for 3 weeks,then my daughter brought home pizza for dinner and I way over did it, now I am having trouble getting back on track I had lost 14 pounds but have put back 6 in the last 3 days. Just need to vent and try to bring myself back in line with what I need/want to do.

Get back on the horse. You can do it. If you are anything like me, half that weight gained is Water weight and will come right off. I was on a business trip last week and ate much more than I intended, but I'm back on track now. Don't beat yourself up.

You and me both - I managed to "regain" the weight I'd lost with a Chinese food cheat - all the sodium made me retain water so now it looks like I didn't lose a thing! Hoping/figuring it'll be out of my system by next week.

I'm a little confused as to why we see a nutritionist ?? If we could lose the weight on our own we wouldn't need the surgery right ??

@@bellabeans Even after the surgery you have to change your eating habits and the nutritionist can help you plan for that...now as far as the supervised diet prior to surgery I tend to agree with you there....and I'm very happy my insurance didn't require that!!!
