6 days left to the weigh in and I am afraid Hello all, here I am 6 days from my weigh in. Today is my youngest sons 9th birthday. No, I won't be enjoying any cake with him. Not only because of the diet, I couldn't because of the gluten anyway. I have lost only 7 pounds so far. Doing the liquid diet to try to lose as much as I can. I also stepped up further my exercise. I have been swimming 1 hour, walking 1 hour. Now I know 7 pounds isn't bad, but it really puts me at a loss of only 2 pounds. Since I have battled with losing and gaining the entire time I have had the weigh ins. Seems the time they recorded the gains it was TOM, yet it still counts as a gain. The insurance company does not require a certain amount lost. I called them and asked and was told it was a 6 month Dr supervised diet they were looking for. The surgeons office says the insurance companies want to see a 15-20 lb loss. So the insurance company doesn't say they require a certain loss, and the surgeons office doesn't say they require a certain loss either. Apparently someone is looking for a certain loss lol. Don't get me wrong I feel good I have lost the 7 pounds. I was hoping by the end of the 2 weeks I would have been down by at least 17 so then it would be a 12 pound loss off my original weight. What do you guys think? Am I worrying myself for nothing? Also what if they record the loss and submit and you gain anything even half a pound? Last weigh in thats what happened, TOM up half a pound. I don't know if I can handle that lady at the office. Since I called there and she says she has seen many people come in with my "problem" of not being able to lose anything. She is right it is a problem or why would I be going to see them. They know I have gained muscle, so I am not sitting around on my booty doing nothing. I even ended up in the ER with a rib strain from all the exercise. I will be celebrating tonight while all the others eat thier cake, I will have my SF popsicles lol.
