I'm just about 3 months in with my 6 months monitored diet and I am not losing any weight. I gained weight on my second check in and the doctor wanted me to lose 25 pounds before surgery. Any suggestions?

My daughter and I both had to do a 6 months monitored diet for insurance and we both gained.  Both were approved with different insurance as this validated we don't do well on diets.  For my revision I lost weight and they were trying to say I wouldn't need surgery as I could do it with diet and exercise.

Now if your surgeon demands a 25 pound lose I don't know what to say as ours don't.  They know why we are there.

What are you eating, exactly?  Are you weighing/measuring everything you put in your mouth?  Are you snacking at all?  What do you drink?
