Anyone have to do Nutrition classes? And so, did you actually gain weight instead of lose weight? I'm about to cry here. I have done everything what the Nutritionist has told me to do and I've done nothing but gain weight. It's very depressing!

Yes I have to do one that's on Dec16/13 this is my 5th month, and although I am exercising everyday I have lost some weight but I think it should have been more but that's is the main reason I need this surgery. By the way can you explain what your class covered?

Eating properly. Getting in protein. Avoiding sugars and processed food. How much you should be eating on a small plate. Preparing for post-surgery.

I just recently finished 4 of 6 - lost 2 months, gained 2 months, still right smack where I started. I do feel like some of my habits are getting better, like counting Protein and getting more Water in, stuff like that. Counts for something, right?

I have 2 classes, December 16th and the 23rd. But I've lost 20 pounds. I've been doing a lot of walking and cut out sweets and pop and occasionally been doing 2 shakes a day and a small meal for dinner

Had one required class preop and one at the hospital postop the day after surgery. We went over my doctor's eating plan for the sleeve, the different stages, liquids, amounts of protein/carbs/fats, exercise, and vitamins.

Do the best you can. Learn as much as you can.

Start curring out the "no-nos", smoking, carbonated drinks, caffine.

Start practicing keeping records and eating focused on Proteins and veggies.

Don't worry on losing weight. Work on following a plan and getting in control of the "fat brain"

I agree learn as much as you can I know that's what I have been doing and I am in month 5 of my 6 month weight management requirement .
