Im just starting my journey. I had my first nutrition appointment a month ago and have my first dietician appointment in a few days. Nutritionist didn’t really put me on a diet. She gave me guidelines on what to eat, not to drink when eating, etc. Ive been little slow in making changes first few weeks after seeing nutritionist.

I was wondering how others started out at first.

Are you doing the six month follow up thing? I did the six month thing for my insurance and I did an elimination diet so that I would prepare myself for not being able to eat certain foods after surgery. First month I cute back portion sizes and stopped eating seconds. Second month I cut out soda. Third month I cut out rice. Fourth month I cut out Pasta. Fifth month I cut out bread. Six month was potatoes, Beans, etc. and just maintaining my diet. I ended up losing 64 pounds on my own so I think I had great success with that! Good luck with your own journey!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
