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.

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!

      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.
