Sutter Nutritionist In Sacramento Area?



Recommended Posts

Hi all!

Had to change insurances as of the first of this year. Already missing the folks over at UC Davis....loved Dr. Ali and his staff.

Anyway, I have been on the stall of a lifetime (well, not that long, but sometimes it feels like it!) for about 10 months now. I exercise 4-5 days per week faithfully, lifting as heavy as I can go with weights and about a half hour of cardio. I work hard outside almost every weekend as we have 13 acres. For example, last weekend I helped to dig holes, mix/shovel concrete using a wheelbarrow and shovel to set 21 posts on our property and THEN the next day carry boards to the posts to nail them to the posts. Hot and heavy work. But I love it.

I have every reason to suspect this stall is related to my diet (yes, I do get more than 80 grams of Protein per day). So, I am on the search for a new dietician or nutritionist through Sutter. The way it works is I have to choose either between Dr. Patching or the other doctor in Auburn (cannot remember his name at the moment) and then I guess I see whoever is on their staff?

Just wondering if anyone worked with either of these two doctors and could recommend a good nutritionist. I have United Health Care.

Thanks in advance!

You should be able to see any RD who sees outpatients at any Sutter facility. Sutter Memorial is where most of the WLS is done up there. You could call either Dr. Shadle or Dr. Eslami's office and see who they use for RD.

Eslami has a free bimonthly support group run by his NUT (Valerie) and head nurse of Methodist bariatric program (Rondee). It is open to all WLS patients regardless of if you have had surgery with him. I highly recommend it.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
