Hi,

I am at the mid point of my journey to being sleeved in Feb. I am 55yo and weight in at 271(highest ever). Like everyone else I have done the yo-yo diets for years. My husband is my major support person and was the one to follow WLS trends (he is a General Surgeon so is very aware of the pros and cons of what is available).

I have had all my preop testing done and my psych eval (with a really cool guy who has personal experience with weight issues). Now I am having my second visit with a nutritionist and I really have no idea of what to ask. On my first visit we talked about my eating history and what lead me to decide on WLS. We also looked at preop and post op eating guidelines.

What else can they help with? What questions do I need to be asking.

I asked specifically what I would be eating after surgery, what foods to avoid, when can you drink coffee, alcohol, how many calories a day roughly should you be eating when you're on solids, I wrote down everything and went to see the nutritionist with my list of questions!

Thanks for answering. This gives me a good starting point,I will work on listing my questions and check with the hubby to see if he has any as well.
