Hi Allison & Ellen! My name is Suzanne. I live in Groton, CT. I'm one month into my nutrition appointments, getting all my other ducks in a row, leading up to surgery with Dr. Tishler- hoping to get a surgery date in March. Getting used to writing everything down that I eat... don't know how strict the nutritionists will be with getting off sugar, Protein requirements, etc. Have had many stressors, one of which is my brother's suicide and a cancer scare. I have a painful cyst that needs to be removed (non-cancerous, thank God). I would appreciate any and all support. Thanks!

RNSuzanne, I'm so sorry you've had some terrible news in your life but good for you for making

such a healthy decision to get the extra weight off.

The nutritionist will read your meal journals and give suggestions if needed but they really

don't want you gaining any weight during the process. You are in GREAT hands with Dr Tishler, he is awesome and a fantastic surgeon. My suggestion would be to follow everything exactly that he and his staff tells you to do, before, during and after surgery. I have followed to a tee and

I'm down 90 lbs since my pre op diet weigh-in on May 13, 2016 (surgery on 5/23/16). I have my 5 month post op check up appt next Thursday on 10/20/16.Good luck to you in the amazing (but hard) process YOU CAN DO IT. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Ellen :-)
