Nutrionist VS Medical Diet

My doctor started me on a medically suprives diet in order to get my surgery date by August, but now my insurance company is making me see a nutrionist 6x before my surgery, at this rate I wont get my date untill considering i had to book an apointment out with her 2 months...

I have 75% of my pre-op done expect the nutrionist and thats the one thing thats holding me back, and its super frustrating

anybody else fun into problems with nurtrionist vs medically supervised diet?

I didn't have to do a medically supervised diet but I would think that the nutritionist would be working with you on how and what you will be eating after surgery (at least, that's what mine did...and still does)
