nutrionist question



Recommended Posts

Does everyone that goes to a nurrionist get weighed in? When I had my first initial visist with the nutrionist, I was'nt weighed now I'm wondering if this is something that I should be concerned about as I havent been able to maintain my weight and I meet with them tomorrow afternoon.:angry:

I only had one consult with the dietician and was not weighed. She went with the records from the surgeon.

I had to have a three month weight record from my Nutrionist and well as the Surgical office as per the Aetna requirements. I gave her a copy of my meal food log every month for her review. I found out later that she submitted the log to Aetna with the other paper work for approval.

I just weight in with my surgeon at my follow up appointments. I only met with the nutritionist once, and she never weighed me.

Same as above for me!

Mine weighs me every time I see her. I really think everyone does things differently. My doc also has a policy of NOT doing your surgery if you gain 20 pounds or more between your first visit and the pre-op visit. I actually lost weight because I was scared!

Maybe it's just me, but I would think the nutrionist would weigh me every visit - don't tell me they don't have a scale...anyway, mine did.

EVERY TIME FOR THE ENTIRE SIX VISITS!! And we had to walk from her office over to a gym where people were working out and then the fat person had to get on the big digital scale in front of everyone!! :lol:

The Insurance Company wanted to see if I could lose weight following her "diet", so naturally they wanted a logged-in weight monthly.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
