I am going through the last steps before the actual operation. I have gone to a years worth of meetings and medical tests. I started the process at 309 lbs and last weigh in was 288. If only I could keep that up I would not need the surgery right? Been there done that.

I am set up to see the Nutrionist tomorrow. Next week I see the nurse, the week after that the surgeon, and then all that is left is scheduling the operation.

Anyone have some good questions I could be asking the Nutritionist, anything that I should seek clarification on? Any suggestions are welcome!

Ask for printed versions of any dietary information. You'll have questions later and if it's in writing, you have a good start. Read it over and ask anything that jumps out. For MOST of us, post-op is 10-14 days of liquid, then 14 days of "mushies" and in the last 7 of that you start adding in "normal" food as you feel comfortable. Getting it in writing will keep you from wondering if you remembered right. All of us experienced guys can help you with ideas for things to eat in each stage and the nutritionist should be able to offer lots of suggestions too. None of it is difficult but I can tell you I re-read the dietary stuff I got because I got a little confused about what I could have when, LOL.
