So, I had my 6 mo appt with my nutritionist... she has decided to not clear me to go onto the next step because I had maybe 3 sodas in the last month... I just have to get my head in the game and have absolutely no soda for this next month, so I continue in my progress... in the mean time I have lost almost 20. I am happy about that.

Good work out on the loss. It's a learning experience. Stay the course baby

I feel like that is a bit harsh. We all know we have to give soda up, among other things. It seems to me, that if you had 3 in a month, she should scold you, but not hold you up any more. The process of losing weight really seems to make food the enemy, and it isn't. Good luck on your next NUT visit.

^{That doesn't seem quite fair to me!! Seems very harsh, especially in light of your HONESTY and the 20lb loss}

^{As swampdoggie said, just STAY THE COURSE, you are in this for the long haul so soon enough the month wont matter.}

What step are you on and what step is next? I didn't realize that some people weren't released to eat anything by 6 months.

Are you post op?? You should be cleared to go back to a normal diet at around 7-8 weeks?

It does seem very harsh for having 3 sodas!

I think this pre op, trying to get clearance for surgery??

I am pre-op... I am during the insurance required physician supervised diet with nut visits. And because of the 3 pops, she won't submit everything to the bariatric team that my surgeon works with. Plus I am having a sleep study done on Tues (which that is a whole other subject).

Oh, gotcha!

I'd find another NUT. That's crazy.

Yep agree

Find someone else!!!! I drank soda right up until my 2 week pre op diet and was allowed 1 diet coke a day on pre op. I had a diet coke maybe every second day and never usually finished it. But have not had coke since 5 dec. Thats super harsh for you!
