Hi everyone, I have been so so so so blue waiting and waiting and waiting for approval from my insurance. They made me go through a 6 month dieting program that I had to pay for out of pocket, even though I had already done everything on the planet. It HAD TO be "medically" supervised, and regular appointments with my doctor didn't matter. So, I paid out of pocket and had to make these appts last 6 months. What I learned was that I will not lose any weight and in fact gain on what the dietician had me doing. I cann't have carbs!! She doesn't get that. She doesn't agree with low carbing at all. But, I gained weight on her program and they just don't think I am trying hard enough. It makes me sooooo upset. When I followed the high Protein shake plan that the WLS place put me on I lost 20 pounds. It was low carb and high Protein. That is what I need. ANYWAY, I am just complaining now. I have been so excited and I want to get on with this NOW. But my insurance denied me AGAIN because I need to "finish" this program. My last appt. needs to be a final weigh in, I am supposed to have lost at least something to "prove" that I can stick to a diet plan (if I could stick to a diet plan why would I be going with WLS ?) and at this appt I have to present weeks of food logs that I have no kept up on. My 3 year old rips them apart and things are just so crazy in my house (I have 6 kids ages 1 up to 11) so, trying to keep food logs is really really hard. C

MY QUESTION: Does anyone have suggestions on how to put together a food log to turn in to this dietician to finish, and finally get on with having the WLS? I am supposed to count amounts, and starches, meats, dairy, that sort of thing. I think it's comparable to a weight watchers thing.

Thank you to anyone who has suggestions!!

Maybe you can try keeping your weight lose diary online. you dont need anything fancy just microsoft word or the note pad on your computer. you have made it a long way it would be silly to let it all slip because of a diary. YOu Can get threw it
