I keep seeing so many responses that just say 'ask your nutritionist'. Does that mean everyone has a nutritionist? Because I don't. I was self pay and insurance won't pay for anything related to weight loss, even nutritional counseling. I did one appointment a couple weeks before surgery to go over the basics, and I have a binder of nutritional information, but that's it. I am now finding that I have many questions, and am thinking I may just need to suck it up and pay out of pocket for at least one more appointment.

So tell me, how often do you see yours? What kind of things do they help you with? Any tips on what to look for to find a good one?

I do not have a NUT I'm 9 weeks out. My Surgeon tells me if I have any questions, concerns or notice that my weight loss has plateaued to call him and he will guide me. I think the last 2 weeks I have struggled to get in enough calories and that has caused me to stop losing. I love to use the wii fit as a change of pace for exercise. I noticed today that I lost 1.5 pound since Monday so, I guess the changes I am making are helpful. I often find I have questions. I try to read through past post to see if I can find where maybe someone else may have asked the same thing and get my answer that way. Good Luck on your journey

No NUT for me either. My surgeon gave me a broad post op diet guideline.

Wow

I would not be allowed to have surgery without dietitian support according to the insurance company's policy.
