Hi!

I just had a few questions and to see how other people's first Nutritionist appt went. I see mine for the first time this Friday and I'm just curious on what to expect. I know I'll get my binder but what happened when you had your first nutritionist appt??

Thanks, AC

I assume your NUT will talk to you about your goals. She or he will probably ask you questions to assess what you are doing and your nutrition knowledge and skills. He or she will then probably provide you with a plan (it may be basic or tailored to your specific needs if you have particular issues) and then talk about next steps.

I could be wrong since I don't know your NUT, but would think most initial appointments go over the usual things.

Mine talked about my goals and the goals of the program. She also put me on a pre-op diet, even though my surgery won't be until probably November. I have a comparatively low BMI, so she told me to lose around 10-15 lbs. 29 days out, I've lost 17 lbs. Now I have to figure out a way to maintain it and not lose anymore, or I won't qualify. She also told me that during this month, I have to eliminate carbonated beverages (check), caffeine (check), drink a daily replacement shake (check) and eat at least 60 oz of protein a day (check). I go back to see her on Sept 8th and then one last visit on Oct 6th.

Thanks ladies!

May I ask what your BMI was?

I only have to do 3 months; that's what my insurance wants.

Just make a list of questions so that you can ask what to expect during these next 6 months. Mine showed me which apps help count calories because youre gonna be on a 1500 calorie plan. 64oz of Water a day which could also be gatorate, propel, Protein drinks and she should show you which 1's to buy and what not to buy. I just had my last appointment with her before i start my 14 day fast.ill be praying for you
