First Nutrition Visit Post op

[Jenaee 5]

My surgery date is tomorrow. Woo-hoo!! I just made my post op appointments and they scheduled my next nutrition appointment 3 weeks after my surgery date. Is that too far out? I could be over thinking it but I could get dehydrated by then.

Does that seem too far out? Should I reschedule for a sooner date?

Nah. It seems reasonable to me. That tells me they are gonna have you on some kind of liquid plan afterwards for about 3 weeks. And until you start progressing in the stages, you might not need the nutritionist yet?

Mine was 4 weeks post-op and due to holidays and such it'll actually be 6 weeks. 3 weeks shouldn't be bad.

It's been awhile, but I think mine was scheduled about three weeks out, too.

I thought mine was supposed to be a month out, but they didn't schedule one, so while I was at my one month visit, they said they don't schedule them unless you have questions. I probably would have asked to schedule one had they not told me at my visit that I'm doing really well and to keep up what I'm doing.

Thanks for everyone for your input. I think my nerves have me nervous about everything.

You’re completely fine mines I did a 2 weeks after my surgery and before that I was going to her like constantly. I would also suggest going to your doctor a month after surgery to get all the blood work for the Vitamins and levels to get a starting point and if they can prescribe you Iron or most of the vitamins that saves soo much money well it did for me.

I am eight weeks out, my nutritional visit is at 3 month post op. My nutritional info was presented pre surgery and reviewed. My first blood work is then too. This way my body has had time to adjust post surgery and provide more accurate test results I guess crazy how different everyone's team is!
