I'm starting this program on January 29,2011. My goal is to lose 60 lbs. I'm already losing weight because I'm no longer taking Abilify and that med. can cause weight gain. My doctor put me on a 1200 calorie diet because I was thinking of having bariatric surgery. My insurance wants me to follow a medically supervised diet for 12 months. Well, I already don't qualify because my BMI is 34.5% and it has to be at least 35%. So I'm going to do my best to follow this calorie limited diet because I want to lose the weight. Dennis is going to have the surgery done and the kids need to eat healthier too. So this will be good for the whole family. Dennis' appointment with the bariatric nurse is Feb. 10th. He has to have a referral from his doctor, no problem and has a $125 copay, which we can save for so that wont be a problem either.
