So I have my first meeting with the dietitian Monday. I have no idea what to expect. My fear is that I will be taking in so much information and then walk out with tons of questions I need answers to. Did you have any questions after your first visit that you wish you would have asked after your session was over? Do you have any tips that will prepare me for my session?

I was extremely overwhelmed after my first appt with my nutritionist. One thing I should have asked is what is their recommended caloric intake AFTER surgery.

I didn't ask and it was no where in my materials. All it said was 3 - 1/2 cup meals per day. Well, I was doing that and only hitting about 250 calories per day. I had stopped losing weight about 2 weeks after surgery, presumably because my body was in starvation mode. Came on here and everyone told me that was insanely low and they were around 800-1200. So, I asked my nutritionist and she said I should be around 800. I'm getting there, but still struggling a bit. I'm getting about 600 in, I'm just not hungry and can't eat anymore, but I FINALLY dropped another pound after about 10 days of nothing.

Make sure you have a good layout of your food stages after surgery too. How long on Clear liquids, soft, etc.

You also want to ask what type of vitamins you should be taking and also the amount of protien you need during each stage after your surgery.

Thank you, Thank you!! These are some great questions. I have them all wrote down to ask.
