RNSuzanne, I'm so sorry you've had some terrible news in your life but good for you for making
such a healthy decision to get the extra weight off.
The nutritionist will read your meal journals and give suggestions if needed but they really
don't want you gaining any weight during the process. You are in GREAT hands with Dr Tishler, he is awesome and a fantastic surgeon. My suggestion would be to follow everything exactly that he and his staff tells you to do, before, during and after surgery. I have followed to a tee and
I'm down 90 lbs since my pre op diet weigh-in on May 13, 2016 (surgery on 5/23/16). I have my 5 month post op check up appt next Thursday on 10/20/16.Good luck to you in the amazing (but hard) process YOU CAN DO IT. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Ellen :-)
