6 month diet!

Hi everyone!!! Just wondering who here had to go through the 6 month diet? If so, how much did you lose? I am starting month two... and down only 5lbs. (I admit, I love going out to the bar with my friends on the weekend, that is my problem) But I spent a few hundred bucks at the store, got the right food, and now i am good to go! -Emily

Hi Emily... OK I have 5 weeks left of my 6 month diet and I have not lost anything, I am sad to say... I have yo-yo'ed the entire time and now I am up again... I can't believe it!! But I have had a new issue arise where my legs are swelling and retaining water so I know this has something to do with my recent weight gain now... But I wish you the best of luck!!! Love and pixiedust~~ amber

I had to do a 3 month diet and lost 34lbs before surgery.... if you would like to know what i did let me know. Jennifer

Emily, I have to do a year of supervision. I am in my 4 month and have not lost a pound!!

I hate these 6 mth things. I was denied for not having it within 2 yrs, so I did Aetna's 3 mth pre surgical, multi disiplinary diet and was denied again - I was told to do another 3 mths to make it the 6 mth diet again. Ive lost 3 lbs, gaiined 5, lost 2 etc. no biggie. Im told they arent looking for u to gain or lose - they are throwing u through hoops to see how bad u want it. If u lose too much they are going to deny you and tell u to diet the rest off! Be careful

I was afraid of that!! It reminds me of my cell phone mishaps last week.... my phone NEVER rings.. just lights up. So, when i take it to the store, what does it do? RING!! I am afraid that is what it is going to be like..... i have tried everything over the years, and now... because someone is supervising.. my body will behaive!! hahaha... I have lost 3lbs this week so far.. down now to 272

Hiya Emily! I had to do a six month diet in which my PCP put me on Meridia and gave me a 1400 cal diet...The Meridia messed with my head and I ended up losing like 3 lbs total...I'd lose then gain then lose then gain, but in the end it all was for the best...My insurance co approved me and I had surgery in May!

I think I can 'one-up' everyone. I went on a 6-month diet and GAINED. I went from 241 to 255 over the 6 months. Hopefully it's painfully obvious that I need this surgery and Aetna breaks down.

Hello I am on my second month for my 6 month diet to be honest with you all and only you all I must say I havent been taking it seriously school just started and I am still working 50 hour weeks at work I am always always on the go I only weigh in at my pcp office and I didnt bother to look at the scale. I am hopeing I will get settled in with my schedule. One the other hand because I have been so busy I have been more active then I have been in months and because its the begining of the semester the parking lot is packed so I am doing alot of walking well I have babbled enough I will talk Lata Daria

Hi Emily, I went through a 6 month diet, I started in March of this year so in 2 days it's the end of my supervised diet, and I lost about 10to 15 pounds. It's kind of heartbreaking to me because I did try my hardest, maybe that is good for 6 months? But anyway, your six months will be over with before you know it, feels like I just started yesterday. Oh by the way I have noticed you live in york...So do I, if you need or want any support in this do not hesitate to email me or whatever. By any chance are you seeing Doctor Muzzio for your supervised diet? Sincerely, Jessica
