I saw my dietitian for the first time today. She was really impressed with how much weight I've lost (and the fact that I had already met my goal weight to be eligible for surgery prior to our meeting). We talked for a bit, told her how I had been doing a lot of research on the surgery, using these forums for support, and showed her my MyFitnessPal app, so she could see how/what I was eating. She told me she'd like me to try breaking up my meals from being 3 daily to 6, so that I'd be more comfortable after surgery with the frequency of how I would need to be eating then. Good advice!

She also mentioned that I would need to get an appointment with the nurse before she could schedule me for the surgery, but when she went to talk to her and explained how confident I was and how much I progressed, she went ahead and set up my surgery date, anyways!! April 27th! ♥

The only appointment I have left is a 1-on-1 patient seminar, which is March 6th. I'm so excited, you guys!

That's great news. Good luck on your weight loss journey.

Ayy, that's the dream!

Thanks, y'all! ♥

Congrats! ? I'm sure you'll do great according to how well you've done so far!

Congratulations!?

IMHO the more you can get into good habits prior to surgery the better it will go after surgery, i.e. eating slowly, taking small bites, putting your silverware down between bites, not drinking 30 min prior to and after eating, eating protein first etc. Obviously you can't do 600 calories per day like you will be after, but the other things are doable. Good luck with your surgery!
