Just finished month 3 of my 6 month dietitian requirement as required by my insurance. When did you start to practice your new eating habits?

Hi, welcome to the group! You will not find another more supportive, friendly and helpful group of people. I hope you find the answers and support here that I have.

I started my diet right away. I only had a three month wait. I had some specific issues that prevented me from following the diet for the entire three months, so I was grateful that I got the early start.

I am now 11 days postop and really wish I had taken more time to practice drinking water slowly.

Hi, welcome to the group! I started making changes to my eating early on in the process and lost 44 lbs pre-surgery. I started cutting out certain things, cutting down on portion sizes, etc. until I got to the official pre-surgery diet.

Welcome! I started my new eating habits before I even got to meet the surgeon. The program I went through required me to see the dietitian first, then the counselor, and they would decide if I was serious enough to meet with the surgeon. I wanted to prove that I was ready for the commitment, so I started making changes and monthly goals right off the bat.
