I Feel Like Giving Up :- ( But I wont...I went the Dr. In Council Bluffs today to start my weightloss It seemed like everything was going ok.He said he wants me to go to the Orientation Thursady night & then I will check in once a week either Tuesday or Thursday, I was like ok & he continued, We just sarted a new program here its called Health Management Resources (HMR) is the leading provider of medically supervised weight management programs in the U.S. and is geared toward those who want to lose a significant amount of weight (over 30 pounds). Healthy Images offers these services in addition to other programs geared toward those with lesser weight loss needs... I was like ok kewl...Its a medically supervised diet,This option uses low-calorie or very low-calorie diet to promote significant weight loss under medically supervision,using only nutritionally complete HMR weight loss shakes and entrees instead of grocery store food. This is the easiest diet to follow, as it requires no decisions whatsoever about what to eat... Features are:Screening,Weekly Classes with Individual Coaching,Maintenance Phase,HMR Risk Factor Profile,And then he said it will a weekly cost for the shakes & food...Whoa Nellie!I tried to explain to him I could not afford it...He seemed like he didnt care,Well HECK I DO!!! I called my surgeons office & talked to Fawn & im still going to go to the 1st orientation & then voice my opion once again...I looked it up online and boy thier stuff is expensive...I just dont know what to do...Thats why I said I felt like giving up :- ( Thanks for listening Janelle

Yeah I think most of those weight loss programs are expensive. Even weigh****chers was expensive and still is. My husband was on carnation instant breakfast and veggies for a month !! and he lost weight but it was tough !! Wish I had an answer for ya but if your eating less that might save some money!! How long do you have to be on this thing ?? And is this for your surgeon for WLS>?

Oh man..That DOES suck! Ask them if you can just do the Liquid Diet! Patty & I have been doing that and we've had GREAT results! But you REALLY have to follow it! You cannot cheat. If we all meet Sat, I'll bring a copy of what I eat. ~Ans~

Hey Janelle, don't give up. Last year at this time it looked like I would never get to have this surgery because my insurance had an exclusion but now it's going to happen because of my generous(sp) mother. God bless her. Linda
