Hey Christy how did your appointment go today? Hope all went well.

Hi!!! It went well . My nutricionist spoke to me about portioning what I eat and learning how to eat before and after surgery. She said its very important that I understand what I'm getting myself into because a lot of mess up after surgery because they don't learn to eat little and eat whole grains and lots of fruits and veggies . Basically asked me which surgery I was looking to get I said VSG. She also spoke to me about my eating habits how many times I eat this how many times I eat that. I was also weighed and got my blood pressure done . So I have 4 more visits before they submit to insurance . Ugh I wish this was over with , it's very overwhelming

O ok that's great so what about all the other appointment like the cardiology,endoscopy, pulmonary, sleep study and so on...my appointment is Monday so let's see what happens

Yea all that is actually done after the 6 month weight management. Good luck!

My weight management appointments have been with my surgeons nurse prac. whom I love! First appointment was a quick chat, weigh in, and then came the homework. Food dairy and going to the gym 7 days a week. Yikes! Won't lie that didn't happen. The second appointment was another weigh in and mostly chatting about caloric intake, carbs, protein, fats. Pretty much a nutrition class.. Last appointment in 2 weeks! Can't wait! We honestly talked about me not losing too much weight (borderline BMI 42) during this process just understanding and thinking about food choices and starting to exercise!
