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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
