Starting diet over and looking for someone near by to share my experience with

I stared my diet appointments about 2-1/2 months ago but I decided to go with my surgeons office dietitian so I am. Now starting all over again. I want to do things as smart as possible so I don't mess up my chances of approval. I am in MD in the Metropolitan area and was wondering if there's anyone close in the early stages like I am. I originally got the referral for the surgery back in February but chickend out but I refuse to turn back now. The liquid diet before the surgery is scary because I eat a lot and I am always hungry. So I have no idea what to do about that!

I'm not in MD, I'm in NC...but we can message one another for support. The liquid-diet is intimidating but you can do it and it really prepares you for the first few days post-op when you can consume much of anything. I had a really tough time with the liquid diet but were allowed a lean mean and veggie for dinner at night. For the two week pre-op diet.

I sure will!

Hello! I'm in Baltimore, MD. I have Dr. Kuldeep Singh as well! Currently, I'm in my 4th month of supervised diet (come the 22nd)...I'm doing it with my PCP. I've seen Dr. Singh's Psychiatrist on the 9th and I go see his Nutritionist, this coming Monday, for a consultation.

Cool! Myu unfortunantely my primary care would not do my visits (bummer). What insurance carrier do you have? I have aetna and boy I tell you they sure do make you jump through some hoops and don't really want to tell you anything until authorization has been sent. How is your diet going? Do you have any tips?

So I had my nutrition consult and it seems I will be on Track for an early February surgery date. I learned a lot. Especially the fact that I wasn't eating as often as I should! I feel like I'm on the right path now. :)

I'm sorry, I gotta get used to getting on here now lol What time did you go there? I went around 10. She's very informative and she talks to you like she's your friend! I like her.

Ok I am wondering if that was you leaving while I was in the waiting area. My appointment was at 11. I was there around 10:40am today.

I agree, I also like the chocolate Premier Protein she gave! Did she ask if you wanted to go to her nutrition class on Sept. 19th?
