Question:
Would someone be so kind as to send me a sample of thier diet history?

I'm supossed to bring it with me for my first appt. Feb 20th :) but I'm really stressed over it, they say it can make or break the approval decision. Thanks!! Nikki    — Losing I. (posted on January 16, 2004)

All they want to know is all the diets you've been on. Sit down and really think hard. Weight Watcher, Phen-fen, Nutri-System, Doctor's Quick Weight Loss, any meds, etc. Then try to figure out approximately when you did it and for how long. They really don't need to know exactly. Also if you have any receipts for medicine you've ever been on before for weight loss it could be useful. Of course only if your insurance company got that picky. What insurance company do you have?? Keep calm and good luck!! Linda

nothing to stress about and no need to copy someone elses,I am sure you have tried every other available means of losing weight before choosing surgery..Simply write down what you have done prior to surgery. They simply want to know you have tried to diet in the past and failed..good luck..

I would really like to see someone else's diet they used to lose. 1000 calories isn't much, and I'm scared to death I'm eating too much. :( I want so bad for my surgery to be approved!! TIA
