DIET BET.....LETS GET FIT!



Recommended Posts

I’ve created a diet bet and I’m hoping some of you will join with me!

Diet bet is an app where you can make money to lose weight! I’m hoping to get a big group together to join my bet! You pay 35 dollars toward the pot to enter the game, and then you have 28 days to lose 4% of your body weight (totally doable!!!!) At the end, everyone who loses the 4% of their body weight gets to split the pot!!!! This could be fun for everyone, pre op or post op!

I’ve attached some more info! A great way to make friends and hold one another accountable! Please message me if you have questions.

And here is the link to sign up!

Great idea for pre-op but post-op won't be able to enter, there is a specific rule that those who have undertaken WLS cannot enter dietbet games, if they do and are caught out they will be disqualified.

I also thought that people with wls were excluded

Nope, if you look at the rules it says that you can’t participate if you engage in medical weight loss procedures during the course of the diet bet! I’m happy to screenshot the rules if you would like!

If I knew how to delete a post on here I would 😂 who knew that trying to encourage others would turn into a debate from the internet police 😂 I promise I did my research beforehand so yeah 🤷‍♀️

If you're caught engaging in the following practices, you'll be disqualified:

  1. Binging
  2. Purging
  3. Excessive fasting
  4. Hydration or dehydration for the sole purpose of manipulating your weight
  5. Undergoing any kind of bariatric surgery, liposuction, or other weight-loss procedures

They have sophisticated algorithms that pick up unusual losses. If they suspected something I am not sure what the procedure would be

I know plenty of people who have had WLS who participate in these, and again, I didn’t post this to cause a debate with the internet police. Only to encourage others to do what we’re all here trying to do in a fun way! If you don’t want to participate, that’s great, you don’t need to be in this thread then. Have a good evening 😊

How far out from surgery are most of the participants that already joined or is this a mixed pot?

Not being the internet police we would just like clarification and confirmation.

What exactly does " Engaging in WLS medical procedures during the course of the diet bet" mean?

It’s a mixed pot, and there isn’t even a winner...no one will be receiving more money than anyone else. Everyone who loses the 4% splits the pot. So it isn’t unfair

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
