6 Month Medically Supervised Diet



Recommended Posts

Did you have to go to your PCP? If you had the choice did you like going to your PCP or did you like going to the Registered Dietitian more? I am still going to my diet visits until they submit to insurance but I am thinking of going to my PCP I really like him a lot and the RD I don't really care too much for. Thanks in advance.

That makes a lot of sense, I think I am more scared of the RD than my PCP because I feel like he knows me pretty good and tells me how it is. I am done with my appointments but I continue to go because I think it will be better for me in the long run. I didn't know if I should switch back to my PCP or just continue to go to the RD and actually get to know her. Thank you for your feedback the couple times I have posted you comment, I really appreciate it. (:

@@hudjess I went to the Registered Dietician at my Bariatric Program. She was able to help me learn how I will need to be eating post WLS rather than typical "dieting".

@@hudjess The person who helped me the most as I prepared was the psychologist at my Program. She helped me to look at my eating habits and discussed tools to help with emotional eating (boredom eating, mindless eating, etc.). I start my pre-op liquid diet tomorrow and will probably use more of the tools she provided than the nutritionist did.

I have been going to my pcp for 3 months because my insurance now doesn't cover bariatric until January so I think it's ok to go to your pcp.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
