Were any of you required to turn over your entire 6 month food journal as part of the approval process/paperwork to your insurance?

I wasn't even required to do a journal.

My surgeon requires food journaling - I have to turn them in at each appointment. Not sure if it is for Insurance or just his requirement.

My nutritionist required 3 months of food journaling, not sure if it was for insurance reasons.

Thank you all for your responses. I was told to keep a journal, but honestly I haven't seen the point...5 months into this thing, and only once has it been looked at...that was at my second weigh in. My weight has been on point at every month. They don't want me to lose any weight...my BMI is 40 & I have no co-morbidities. I can't risk going below that 40 BMI!

Plus I've been slacking on the journaling...haven't been tracking as diligently as I had been. Wondering if it's even worth it the effort.
