Nutritionist Today



Recommended Posts

I am seeing my nutritionist today and I don't want to get on scale. The month of November has been the worst month for me since being banded. I have found sweets not good. I am going in to get back on track. I would just love to skip the weighing in part. Haha.

Nope sorry you gotta jump on those scales! Just tell your nutritionist honestly how you've been doing, it's his/ her job to help you work things out. None of us are perfect but with the help of our aftercare team they can help us get back on track.

They see hundreds of people often and have heard all the lies before. Be truthful and you'll get lot's of information to alter or defeat certain cravings during holiday times. They are truly professuionals and we need their help.

Its awesome you are seeing a nutritionist and you must weigh in to be accountable. I suggest you bring with you a copy of some days you have eaten. Mark how long you feel each meal kept you satisfied and also write down any questions you might have so you don't forget. Please let us know how it goes. You will be great just need to get back on track.

Of course I am gonna weigh but just a little scared. I think probally a three lb gain. I am gonna be completely honest with her and use this to get me back I track. I threw out all my slider foods this morning. Eating wrong isn't going to help me to reach my goal. I think in a way its your mind playing tricks on yourself like you have always been fat and being skinny isn't going to be you. Sorry to vent but this is my first melt down since surgery.

Honestly is the best policy. We never want to admit we screwed up, but you have alread admitted you ate things you shouldn't have. Jump on the scales and see the damage then jump back on track and use this as a reminder to avoid the sweets.

Talk honetly to the nutritionist and he/she should be able to help you find a plan that works for you. For instance, when I went to mine last month I told her I was dying for a cupcake- I was really wanting something sweet. She ask what I would do if I made a bach- well I said I would eat them likely all of them within 2-3 days. So she suggested that once a month allow myself a treat- go to the bakery and buy ONE cupcake and savor it instead of wolfing it down. Honestly, now knowing that I can have one, makes it less of a dyer want. Mind game.

So I went and I only gained one lb so not too bad. I was honest with my eating and we discussed how to get away from sweets and other bad choices to get back on track. I love going to see her she always makes me see how far I have come and how great I am doing. Even today I left feeling so much better!

That's great! You will succeed if you continue to work with your caregivers.

They, just like us want you to reach your goals!

Best wishes!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
