The supervised diet was exactly what I needed.

I started a supervised diet for insurance requirements about three and a half weeks ago. In those three months, my surgeon is requiring that I lose 12 pounds.
A few days ago, I found out that they will try and submit an appointment that I had with my PCP a month prior, as one of the required months for my diet. If my insurance allows it, that means that I actually have to lose 12 pounds in 2 months instead of 3.
I got on the scale this morning and weighed in at 233, with a starting weight of 241, so I am down 8 pounds. It is so hard though! I have another weight check in on Wednesday. I figure since my appointment is later in the day, I will weigh in around 236, but hopefully less. That means I have probably 7 pounds to lose in the next 33 days.
Dieting is so hard and I am glad I am doing this. The first week seemed so easy, but now I am struggling and the weight is hardly coming off. I have yo-yo dieted my whole life and it has been a constant disappointing cycle of losing to only regain. The first week of my diet, I seriously considered walking away from WLS. I though I could do it on my own. Now, I am reminded of my struggles and I am more sure than ever that this is the right thing.
