Seriously Now, What Do I Need Nut For?

[Alithinos 19]

I saw the NUT at one month out and will go back at 3/4 months and periodically for the next couple years, but mine is covered largely by insurance.

I'm so glad that the visits are covered because I do find the advice to be helpful as I develop these new habits. For example, I found out that I should not be taking my daily B12 with my Calcium, but can take it with my Multivitamin. Since I have not liked plain Water since my surgery, we talked about alternatives. We discussed how to tweak my diet to maximize weight loss during the first six months. While a lot of the info from Johns Hopkins Bayview was provided in writing, the face to face visits help nail things down. If you're interested I think you can pull their nutrition info off their website.

I think the only time I ever felt my NUT was beneficial to me was when I went from eating mushies back to solids. Other than that, most of what she tells me are things I already know from lots and lots of extensive reading on nutrition and healthy eating because I've been passionate about this topic all my life, especially after I was diagnosed with PCOS.

I say, that if you research, use the folks information on this site, and just remember the basics of 60-80 grams protien, 48-60 oz of Water, and do your best to stay away from white flour, you'll be golden!

Good luck on your adventure overseas and with your sleeve!!

Thank you for your reply, i see you have lost good weight so far considering that you have PCOS, I too was diagnosed with PCOS about two years ago and someone told me that i wont lose a whole lot of weight even if i have the surgery... You gave me hope to keep going am only two weeks post op and almost 23 pounds lighter, I do not take any Protein shakes nor supplements since where i temporary live they do not have such supplements at stores or anyplace i went and looked hopefully i will find something if i keep looking, but when i asked my doctor about Protein, he said that eventually i will be eating enough protein by myself and not to worry about it, but tbh am freaking out i want protein!!!

If you are ok with on line ordering, I highly recommend powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate Splendor. It tastes like chocolate milk. I mix mine with 8 oz of skim milk for a total of 29 grams of protein. I have this for Breakfast about 3 times a week. The rest of the time I will make my protein through eggs, poultry, nuts, & cheese.

The whole reason I had surgery was my PCOS was placing me at the start of all those dreaded diseases, hypertension and diabetes. I am 35 and in love and didn't want my weight to control my life, so I told PCOS to screw it. . 6 wks after surgery I was taken off all my medication. 3 months after my obi-gyn tested my PCOS blood work and found my testosterone levels normal and my insulin right of the edge of normal. I almost cried right there on the phone with the nurse. I still have work to do, and another 45 pounds to go! But I plan on reversing my PCOS!
