I need to know what to ask the nutritionist when I go?



Recommended Posts

I need to know what kind of questions to ask. I am at a total loss.

When I went to the surgeon and I had four pages of notes I wanted to ask and now with a nutritionist I don't have any

I left the Orientation session ( that included the NUT) with most questions answered. But reading here gave me a head start. So if you haven't yet started, read available information and jot down questions. There May be individual concerns you have that aren't specifically answered in available literature. And remember if you forget anything you can call them...the NUT at my clinic seems very available.

Thanks Crosby I sometimes just think this process for me has been going very smooth. I will be hitting a spread bump soon...

I think you are not getting any responses because it's hard to know what you should ask as it's based on your needs. Simply ask about the things that concern you or you are not sure about. I was interested in clean eating versus use of artificial substitutes so I asked a couple questions related to that. I didn't want to ask things about early post diet specifics because I will save that for last session if needed.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
