I can't believe it!

I went to my 2nd month of Dr. supervised diet and I have lost a total of 21 lbs!!! I only weigh my self on the day I go to the Dr. This way I don't get upset if I'm not losing enough. The Dr. said I'm doing great cause I'm only losing 2-3 lbs. a week and slow and steady she goes. I got on and off the scale 3 times not believing what I was seeing. I will keep on keeping on! Cindy

You Go Girl!! Congratulations, Nancy

Thanks for the support Nancy, it really helps. Cindy

What kind of diet does he have you on? Are you doing this for your ins co?

Don't you just hate the word "diet"? I like to think I am eating healthier. I was told by my Dr. because of my bmi (70) more than likely I would have to have an open, But if I could get it down to like 60 I would be able to have a lap. But I have had 3 c-sections (cut up and down) so I may still have to have open because of scarring. So,,,,,I figured I would try to lose weight to lower bmi and maybe have a chance to have lap. Dr. would start a lap but change to open if needed. Trying to increase my odds. Also Dr. will cancel wls if you gain more than 5 lbs. from initial weigh in. My ins. company says they go by a case by case basis to see if you need supervised diet(hate that word) They told me since I have such a high bmi they may wave it. Me, not trusting ins. companys have decieded to go ahead with supervised (d@@@) so I would be ahead of the game. Plus losing some weight can't hurt my chances of having a better outcome for wls.

Congrats Cindy !!! Does'nt it feel good!! I started that D word on the first of the year my self..same reasons as yours..I wanted to be ahead of the game and lose a little to be on the safer side,..I started walking also ..lol when I started I could barely walk a mile , had to stop a few too,lol but now I can go 3-4 miles (depending on how hot it is) with out breaking to much stride!! I can really feel the diference,Good luc****ep on keeping on!! and keep us posted, Lori A.

Hey good job At this rate you will be under 70bmi in no time! Keep up the great work! And having it open is a good option too...if it ends up that way...Then end result is what matters the most getting happy and HEALTHY!!! I actually wanted open and had to be talked into lap.....I am always the oddball it seems Again keep up the great work and keep us updated!!! Jesi
