Im the same. I only told my partner and my sister. Its not that i care for people to know i just don't want to broadcast it. I told one friend and it was just a negative vibe and stories she heard. I just dont want to hear all of that. I dont expect people to understand especially if they havent struggled the way i have with my weight. Im trying to figure ways to tell my job about the week off i am going to take off i dont care for any one at the work place to know my business. Def going to follow this thread to see what people say. Sent from my SM-N910P using BariatricPal mobile app

So my dietitian and psychologist finally signed off on me to take the pre surgical classes and post nutrition classes! Woohoo its starting to be sureal. Those are my last appointments to attend in march before meeting with my surgeon. Any who i found out we are not required to do the 2 week liquid diet prior surgery. Did any one else not have to do that as well? If so, did your drs tell you why? Idk why but for some reason i was looking foward to doing the pre 2 week liquid diet.

Dont be nervous. Just go in learn as much as you can be honest with them and yourself. I didnt receive like a diet plan she just gave me pointers. My issue was i went long stretches with out eating and when i ate i ate a lot. So my dietitian wanted me to eat more frequent small healthy meals. From what i got out of it they just want to learn your pattern correct anything that your doing wrong. Seeing if you may or may not have an eating disorder or any type of emotional eating. You will do great! Im excited for you for taking the first step! Woohoo Sent from my SM-N910P using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes, i have to do a medically supervised weight managment plan for 6 months. Basically i have 1 appt for 6 months. Each appt is different. Im 4-5 months in now. First month i did a weigh in met with the surgeon he explain the process to me(oct). The next month i met with a psychologist(nov). The next i had a group nutrition class after that i met 1 on 1 with the nutritionist (same month.dec) i met with the nutritionist again in jan. She signed off on me to take the surgical courses. This month i met with psychologist again she signed off for me to take the surgical course as well. In march i have my final 3 appts. The surgical courses. A nutrition class for post surg. And to meet with a workout trainer (not required). Then im not sure what happens after that i think ill meet with surgeon again in april and hopefully submit for approval. Do not miss an appointment some people have to start the 6 month process all over if 1 month is missed. Sent from my SM-N910P using BariatricPal mobile app
