First appointment with my NUT

[staceykb72 5]

Will see how it goes and report back. I'm anxious for some reason, to the point of getting heartburn. They said expect this first appt to be 2 1/2-3 hrs. I've done WW off and on for years...know how to track, now just need to learn how to change what I'm eating to be in-line with bariatric surgery. It will be eye opening in sure, as like many people out there, even eating healthy includes carbs like bread, fruit and yogurt.

Wish me luck!

you'll do just fine! All you need is an open mind and a willingness to learn and change, and you obviously have those things. It's mostly going to be a short little class telling you to lay off soda and bread and eat more Protein, drink more Water, etc.

My NUT appointment was less than an hour. Nothing at all to be nervous about. I would recommend writing things down though!

Mine was an hour. She even kept looking at the clock saying too much to get covered in an hour so she started to go through things so fast I forgot a lot of the information. Thank gosh she gave me a folder with everything I needed.

My first visit was 30 min and 15 min each appt after.

I was confusing my psychological meeting with my first NUT mtg regarding duration. That said, first mtg with my NUT was ~45 min, and went well. Didn't feel rushed or anything. She even told me with as much as I love to bake, (she does too), that she'll share new recipes with me that are lower in sugar and higher in Protein...I thought that was really cool. My 3 main things to focus on before my next visit... Eating 5-6 small meals (using the 10/10/10 rule), getting more activity in and reducing sugar. I barely drink pop (don't even keep it in my house), and recently switched to Decaf coffee...which helps me even more going into the next 6 months.
