Writing everything down that we eat is a great habit to get into. Anything you can do while you work your way thru all of this will help you get a better grip on what is to come. GREAT practice!!

    Hi all! I'm so excited. I just got home from my appt with the surgeon! I have to wait 6 months for surgery though. Per my insurance company I have to write down everything I eat for the next 6 months has anyone else had to do this?

    My nutritionist recommended I use myfitnesspal to track food so we can go over it at our appointments and in some cases insurance wants to see it.

    I tracked my food for 8 weeks pre-op, the My Fitness Pal app was great. And it's really helpful to see what you're truly eating...be truthful and track EVERY bite. When you see the dietitian, he or she can make suggestions based on what you're eating to help you lose the weight required pre-op. Good luck :)

    I did not have to write everything down, but I did have to have medically supervised weight loss for 6 months prior to approval.

    What insurance did you have?

    I don't have to write everything down but do have to have 6 months of dietician appointments. Next month will be my 5th appointment and they are saying surgery schedules are backed up to May. Sad to have to wait so long after 6th appointment in January
