Doing what they asked

Aug 14, 2010

I had met with the Nurtionist and he said since i had gained 20 lbs from the first visit back in march he would not say reccomend me for surgery untill i had showed i was serious and lost some of the weight i had gained on my own, so the patient advocate and i decided that for 4 weeks i would do the diet plan and excersie plan they gave me and then re weigh myself in 4 weeks and he would then ammend his report, so I did and for 4 weeks i busted my ass doing what i could and living by plan they gave me, and it worked I ended up losing 19 lbs its not a lot but its 19lbs closer to having the surgery.  It wasnt as hard as i thought it would be to eat a 1200 calorie diet, i actually did really well, i chose to bypass the lunches and dinners on the plan they gave me and instead i bought Lean Cusines microwave meals and Healthy Choices and Smart Ones, I used those for my lunches and dinners and it was alot easier for me the calories were already figured and the servings were already set, and like the NUT said if i still felt hungry wait 30 minutes and then eat some more veggies, so i followed all that and to my surprise when i went in to my PCP to weigh myself i was down 19lbs I was really proud of myself and as silly as it sounds i got a little teary eyed and was just so happy cuz i knew it meant the NUT would ammend his report so my patient advocate could submit me to my insurance.

So now i continue on the same plan i have been doing and slowly adding more excersise into my day, my son will be going back to school so it will be alot easier to excersise without him wanting to do it all too.  I continue the plan and wait to hear from the insurance company.  My patient advocate said they legally have 30 days but usually get back to her in about 2 to 3 weeks she normally 2 weeks, so i just work on my plan and wait to hear if its good news.  I am praying every day that it is, I have wanted this for so long and i want it to work out for me for the best.
