I'm through 3 of my 6 NUT appointments and I'm not feeling a connection to her. She's young, never has an opinion or tells me anything helpful. I've asked her at each appointment to provide me with a menu of options i can eat as I prepare. (I travel a lot for work so I want to figure that out). She never remembers and acts like I haven't asked. She's told me nothing about a pre-op diet or if I'm suppossed to be losing anything. Just weighs me and says ok (the 2nd appt I gained 1, the 3rd I lost 3 - my life story). My 4th is in December. I want to know if I'm expecting too much or if I should ask for a new one (it's part of the service at my clinic). What should the NUT be doing during the pre phase? Love to hear others experiences. (BTW, I don't know anyone that's gone through WLS so no one IRL to ask). Thanks in advance.

I am so sorry your NUT is not meeting your needs. Mine is the exact opposite. I also travel for work and today is my 1 week post op visit and she spent a chunk of time giving me tips and helpful hints for work travel and eating with my Sleeve. So I don’t think you’re expecting too much!!

Oh thank you. How hard is it going to be to do this from airports and hotels?

Lots of pre planning! Looking at time in between flights, looking at what choices are in each airport and looking at what options are available near hotels.

Oye, that's what I need her to help with. I'm going to push one more time and if we can't connect on this she's going to have to go! Thanks.

Mine is the same way!! Gave me a huge binder full of random info and some print outs but not anything that I don’t already have or haven’t tried. I want her to give me a menu. Not, “oh your portions will change dramatically”. Duh. I already know this. I would like to have an actual meal plan to follow. My surgery should be mid to late March as well. Going for my 4th visit in a couple weeks. [emoji4]

Are you thinking about changing or is she your only option?

Does your nutritionist do email? It might be helpful if you emailed her, so that she has no reason to forget that you asked for a meal plan. My nutritionist is great...she answers every question and offers helpful suggestions. Her advice, however, is pretty generic....which I have found with every nutritionist I've ever met.

She’s my only option. I’m going to stick it out and if she doesn’t provide what I need, I’ll be hitting everyone up on here to find out what their menus are. Lol

I might be in the same boat!



Well we’ll be rowing together! Probably around the same time too. [emoji4]

I'll check but she hasn't offered. That might help though. Thanks.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
