Is this normal? (Dietician/Doc question)



Recommended Posts

my insurance covers the nutritionist , and ultimately is the choices we make at the end of the day . also my surgeon calls me if i have a question this is how You make a decision on who you choose as a doctor , not someone you feel your imposing on thier time. This is ones health and costly i may say . We have the power lets take it!!!!!!!

lol my surgeons assistant is that type of person , however i had to put her in her place a few times . I have low tolerance for the BS , because they make you feel less than, however somehow when your in their face at let them know" IM NOT TAKING YOUR CRAPP WORKS. it happened to me with my psychologist assistant she accused me of not wantimg to pay her the fee . In the office i screamed at her and let her have it , there were mental patients their, actually one . I sat down and excused my self . I saw him eventually and excused myself expessing to him "im not a thief ",and he needed to change his worker which i had an inclination was his WIFE LOL LOL . He gave me the receipt and told me good luck . The journey has been challenging , but laughter after makes it bearable.

Thank you so much! I'm glad I found this forum :)

Are you recently banded? How did it all go for you?

I get banded Sept.7. I'm hoping it goes well. The process to this point has been easier than I anticipated. However, I start my all liquid diet Wednesday, not sure how well I will cope on that. :)

      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.
