6 month follow up today, and questions I should ask?



Recommended Posts

I go for my 6 month follow-up and nutritionist appointment this afternoon. Other than asking about how to stop the weight loss, and about a maintenance plan, is there anything else I should be asking? A couple other things I was considering: asking his opinion on the medical alert bracelets I've seen debated on here at length, and the Restaurant Card that some people's doctors give them enabling them to order off the children's menu or smaller portions at certain restaurants. Any other ideas?

Ask him about straws. And caffeine.

(Since you're already asking about other hotly debated items :) )

Thanks, MIJourney! I'm 4 lbs below my doctor's goal weight of 190. I have people everyday telling me I need to stop losing weight or it will be too much. I don't exactly agree, I'd like to get down to 180, but am happy where I am. I just am not sure how to stop losing at this point. It is still coming off, very slowly, but still coming off.

Just viewed your profile pic ~ wow! What a transformation! You know, I still am shocked at how much younger people look after they've lost weight. I guess I never thought about weight aging people but when I see before & after pics, it's almost like seeing a Mother/daughter or Father/son (in your case) pic! You look awesome! Congratulations!

Yes GamerGirl, I do now! It was only one person's opinion, and everyone else's contradicts hers, so it's all good now!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
