Angry 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.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

I say, don't worry about whether you lose, and how much. If you gain a lot, that's not good, but otherwise, what they are looking for are 1) your commitment, 2) that you can lose only so much the conventional way, and in no way the degree you will need to for your health, and 3) any lbs lost, however small, makes it easier on the surgeon when perfoming the surgery.

(((((HUGS))))

just hang in there.
AS long as its just the six month supervised diet
thing any loose is enough .....as long as you adhere
to the rules of a supervised diet....

for me my surgeon required a 25 lbs weight loss
before he books the surgery. SO for me i had to
do it or this surgeon (whom i love) would not
preform the surgery.
I bucked down and did it by following atkins
induction!
hang in there and i hope to hear the news of a
date real soon!

I had to sign a contract type thing saying I need to lose 18 lbs before surgery. I have gained three over the summer being laid up and I had the wedding and they just fed us terrible.. I was good though. smaller portions and stuff but I am home now and have started my food journal for my Nut so I know how you feel. It is pressure to get on that scale... So you are not alone..
