Hi, my insurance required the same thing. All they are looking for is that you are not looking into this lightly. I put on mine weight watchers, slim fast, low carb, walking, low calories and so on. They are just looking for your attempts prior to the surgery. I hope that helps.

I agree- although I had to show 2 years. But I did the same. I was able to list all my diets, time frames, amount lost and regained etc. I put even book based diets like Dr Phil Shape Up, Weigh Down- a religious based program, Weight Watchers, Clinic 30 Program and so so many more. I got approved first try and in less than 2 weeks.

http://www.angelarose.com/weight/DietHistory.htm Nice list of various diets you may have tried but can't remember. I also listed diet supplements I have taken over the years. (i.e. Dexatrim, Phen Phen etc.)

I sure know what you are feeling, This was the hardest part of doing the paperwork. I finally just did as close as I could. I also use the web-site and was thrilled when I found others had place their diet history in there profile, it was a great help. Good luck. I am still not approved but doing the 1 year supervised diet.
