Do you know what I just found out yesterday?? My health insurance won't cover me seeing a nutritionist but they will cover the baraitric surgery UNFREAKING BELIEVABLE!
I asked can I appeal this they said only if my doctor write a letter of Medical necessity, which is going to be kinda difficult cause she wants me to have the surgery. So I guess I'm going to have to be a little creative when I have the discussion or look for a free nutritionist.
Have you considered a dietitian instead of a nutritionist? Most insurances will pay for them
Not mine I asked my only option is changing my PCP to one who specializes in obesity.0 -
Gees Louise I’m so far behind on all the posts. Kinda been slacking but today is June 1st. I’m going on vacay in 2 months and I’m refocused and re committed.
There was lots of great progress and success this week. Keep up the great work team!0 -
Daily Post (Friday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Yes, new eating plan, tracking a different way, but still tracking.
Exercise: Yes, 15 mins elliptical, 75 mins walking, 70 mins weight training--Snatch (these weren't great today), Clean + Split Jerk---these were amazing---hit a new pr, super excited about that, and Back squats, all VERY heavy!
Comments: Making a diet change today, decided it's insane to keep doing the same thing and expecting a different result....so we shall see where that goes, so far it seems to be helping already, knock on wood.
What an active day!! Good stuff!

@aadubb I was keto and I'm still keto, I'm just cutting all carbs (aka 0 carb or carnivore), not just down to 20 grams, basically when I started keto I did 20 grams net carbs to start, and that worked really well for 1.5 years, then I went to 20 grams total, and that worked well for another 30 lbs, and now I was weird spikes in my weight for no reason, so I'm cutting them all. And so far, the results are very positive and I'm already feeling even better, so guess I'm going to have to live without salads until I get where want to be. The downside is I may have to embrace organ meats to make sure I'm getting all the nutrients I need also, so we will see how that goes.0 -

HAPPY SATURDAY TEAM SLIMSONS
Praise'm Praise'm so trying something new to add more calories to my diet since I'm only averaging out 700 calories most days. As per my nutritionist via email since my insurance doesn't want to pay, at least until I get a medical of necessity letter from my doctor.
2 whole wheat toast 1 cup of frozen strawberries with 2 scrambled eggs with spinach and ground chia seeds. Ummm look delish
THEN GOING BOWLING FOR 2 HOURS but really on 45mins to and hour as I take a break between each frame. Gotta bowl smart being disabled and all.
Have a blessed and productive day

@aadubb No, not really taking supplements, that's where they suggest organ meat, that way you're getting more nutrients than just straight meat, however, you do get a lot of nutrients from meat alone, animal proteins have vitamins and minerals in them as well, so we will see how I feel, I may look into organ meat, but the real idea of doing something like this is that it's an elimination diet which will help me to determine what in my diet was causing me some issues when I get back to eating how I was before, which won't be for at least 30 days, maybe 90 depending on how I feel eating this way, and surprisingly, I feel pretty great so might stick with it loner than the first 30 days.1 -
Daily post for Saturday
Track: no
Calories: ate all of them
Exercise: was on my feet for hours, so I'm sure I got some....
Water: I have no idea.....
Party day! Rushing around all morning, eating all afternoon, and ready to pass out by 6:30pm!
Bust busy day...... as with all our family parties, it ends at "2pm". Which means "whenever you feel like leaving". People are still hanging out. Lol
I am ate the point where I want to eat just cuz the food is there. But I'm not hungry. So I am pretty sure I am done for the day..... still drinking water though.

Hmmm... that's interesting. I guess that is what is different with me, I do see a doctor that specializes in weight loss. My crappy insurance did pay for the dietitian at her clinic. They constantly harp at us to lose weight (get healthy) at work.....yet we have penny pinching insurance that won't pay for a lot of things with regards to weight loss.
So sorry you are having problems0 -
