Hello! I am new to this app! I've been looking for support from people who know what I am about to go through.

I am in my beginning stages, literally, I have my first nutritionist appointment on May 13th. My first of 6 months of supervised nutritionist appointments (required by my insurance) so my surgery will be mid October! [emoji16]

Welcome! I am new, too, just starting the journey. I have 3 months of supervised weight loss so we can start together.

Awesome! Welcome. How was the first visit? What is it like? I'm just curious.

The visit was ok..I guess I was expecting more...just talked about what I ate and trying to eat 3 meals a day and drink more Water.

Start writing down questions to ask your Nutritionist. Be honest with them and let them help you make the changes you'll need to make. Take advantage of this time you have before surgery and prepare yourself as much as possible.

I am a month and a half into my 6 month supervised plan and it is going great so far. Kind of a slow process but I am so excited about it!!

Great advice. Thank you. I was thinking of starting a journal. When will the 'liquid diet' start, is that pre-op or post-op?

Every plan is different with the diet plan. My surgeon doesn't require a liquid pre-op diet unless I weighed over 400lbs. From what I've seen - most require one for 10-30 days pre-op. Those are great questions to ask your nutritionist. Keeping a journal is a great idea!

Thanks for that! Yeah, I want to start a journal with a lot of "before" pictures. I need to stay motivated!

Exactly! I'm so ready. I hate that I have 6 months! I feel frustrated.

Even my Nutritionist and Psych said 6 months is too long! They're going to try to shave off a few months based on records from my PCP.

I'm new as well...I went yo my first appt on the 27th 5 more months to go....I'm so excited and can't wait for it to be over.
