Does anyone feel like they aren't allowed to eat bread anymore? I feel like I'm starving bc I barely eat carbs now

My dietician is letting me eat some carbs until surgery.... Not much but I get whole grains one meal a day! Lol it's funny, some days I'm good and then others I'm starving! I am trying really hard to not do any bread since I won't be able to after surgery but holy moly it's hard!!!

Hi everyone! I have absolutely no idea how this app is used but I figured I would give it a try! Finally had my first consult with the surgeon yesterday, so I am at the beginning of the 6 month pre-surgery journey. Anyone else starting right now? Would love some new friends I can go on this journey with!

I'm a huge carb lover! My problem is I'll do good all day eating right, but then by night I'm trying to hold myself back from breads, pastas, etc.

I went to my first consult on February 9th, first nutrition appointment yesterday and my mandatory intro class tomorrow! I'm pumped to start checking things off the list. I had my blood work drawn, made an appointment for the in-home pre-sleep test, and made my psych eval appointment (oddly the thing that makes me most nervous). I have a 6 - month program to follow and I'm looking at late August for surgery as long as insurance approves.

I'm in Northwest Ohio.

TammyLee66, I am new here and also in the Kaiser program in Fontana. Did all of the labs plus EKG and chest X-ray between weeks 2 and 3; saw the doctor this morning to review results. This will be week 4 of the meetings and we are supposed to get our meal plan. I'm a little nervous because a lot of people on here are talking about the PreOp meal plan being all liquid but it was never mentioned in our classes. Have you heard that from Kaiser?

I'm new and covered by UHC we are submitting for approval on March 1st to see if they will take my previous medical supervised diet as part of the six months I need to wait. If so I'll probably have surgery in June, if not I need to do the 6-month nutritionist visits so it's going to be in October.

Hi I am going on my 2nd class this Tuesday we got our checklist for all 12 weeks. Week 1--labs drawn and schedule EKG I ended up going today to get my lab work done and I ended up getting my EKG done I did not hear about the preop meal plan being all liquid I'm not exactly sure if ours will be the same I sure hope not let me know how things are going with your class.
