Tomorrow is my first visit with the nutritionist. Was wondering any ideas what we will be doing and talking about?

Goals, she calculated what my goal weight should be and gave me a lot of nutritional information. Nothing to intense.

Good luck....

We got a packet of info for preop (postop is next visit) and went over that in good detail. Mainly she talked and gave us the opportunity to ask questions. We were given a little homework assignment to complete which is practicing things like no Water 30 minutes before, during and after the meal and documenting what it feels like doing that; looking at labels to make sure servings are below 10 for fat and sugar to prevent dumping, documenting how much Protein we eat each day, things like that. It was very informative and not intimidating at all. It was also in a small group setting.

Best of luck!

I had to have SIX NUT visits ......UGH

I really enjoyed my visits with my NUT. This is your expert - take advantage of their knowledge and put them to work for you. Ask about Protein shakes, what they recommend, what you should try pre-surgery. Ask about favorite meals and how (and when) you might enjoy them following surgery.

If you need to lose weight prior to surgery, ask for their help in reaching that goal. Mine encouraged me to begin tracking what I ate and that was how I found MyFitnessPal.com. A great tool which I believe has been critical to my success.

Think of a few good questions to discuss. You are paying for the time, get the most out of it.

My visit with the nutritionist was one on one, face to face. She was super nice and went over some basic info, gave me a couple of packets of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein powder to try, and told me about myfitnesspal.com where I've been tracking all my intake. It was very relaxed and no pressure. Nothing to worry about.

Don't know yet just how many visits I'll have to have. Next week is the shrink. I hae to have 6 visits with my GP, and have three down. Hopefully November will be the date for me.
