Nurse and Dietcian date



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone,

I just got my date for my visit with the Nurse and Dietcian for August 3rd. I'm so excited, I can't believe that I have to be there from 2 until 8.

Can anyone tell me what to expect?

They also said I need 50 dollars for my supplies?

What kind of supplies do I need at this stage?

I'm not sure what they mean by supplies. Is this your first consult? Mine was 3 hours (nurse, psychologist, Nut).

I called her back to ask what she was referring to as supplies she said that's educational books for the bariatric surgery that is suggested reading. She said that I could pick it up to get a jump start or get at the class. I think I will pick it up to get the jump start. This will be my first consult. She said they will schedule me with the surgeon that day so I will have to come back

We have to pay for some educational materials too. I don't mind; every little bit that can help, I'll take.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
