HAHAHAHAHA!! I didn't get it at first either, because I didn't encounter anyone that called themselves a nutritionist. The surgeon's PA is the one that dispenses our nutritional guidance, so I was like, "HUH??" NUT??"

Pshaw - don't believe them - it is an abbreviation for my mother-in-law

:lol: :lol: :lol:

But great question, took me a minute to figure out when I first saw it also. There are quite a few abbreviations on this site. Might not be to bad of a idea for a pinned wiki topic to explain each for a reference.

There actually is a pinned topic in this section of the boards. The Frequently Asked Questions topic covers the abbreviations used, how to add a ticket to your profile, and a ton of other great stuff.

Nut- nutritionist

PCP- primary care physician

PPI- proton pump inhibitor

Those three took me a little while to figure out lol! There is an old thread around that was actually a VST "dictionary" about all of our little shortcuts. You could search for it if you'd like, it was very humorous!

      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.
