I totally understand what you're going thru. The hardest part for me was finding a psychologist that would take my insurance and do everything in one visit. The one recommended by my doctors office wanted $150. Others 2-3 visits or they would simply not take my insurance. The fee was $300 for the whole thing. I called my insurance several times until I found one. If that specific dietitan is busy until November just try to look for someone else. The sooner all the pre op requirements are met the sooner you'll have your surgery. Good luck with everything!!! :-)

My nutritionist said at least 70g per day. She wants me to eat and to rely on protein shakes only when needed.

The psych evaluation was the hardest part for me. I was so nervous. I've never been to a psychologist before I didn't know what would be the right answer. I also had to answer a million questions and I agree with others they are basically the same question just worded differently. I made sure I read them carefully to avoid mistakes.

Also I forgot to mention you have to keep track of your fluid intake for a few days. There's a specific amount that you have to drink in an hour. I believe is 2oz every 15 minutes.

I was banded almost 9 months ago. My surgeon's office said Clear Liquids for a week. Don't worry about the Protein intake for now until you are on the solid phase. Only see thru liquids like broth, tea, gatorate, diluted fruit juice, crystal light, sf Jello, sf popsicles . NO Water. You need a little bit of calories in you for strength. The best thing to do is follow your Drs. orders. Good luck to you on this journey.

My surgeon's office said coffee =dehydration. They said 1 cup a day with sf ff creamer is ok. Add 1 cup of water per every 4oz coffee.
-
I only did liquids for 6 days and my surgeon said I could go to the next phase "mushies" . Each doctor is different.

I only drink protein shakes when needed. For example if my protein intake for the day is low or if am hungry in between meals. My favorite protein shake is EAS strawberry cream its only 100 calories 3 carbs and its not thick at all. I love it !!!!

Congratulations and good luck to you!!! Just wear something comfy and bring a pillow for the ride home.
