Pre-Op Nutrition Appt....hide The Scale!

[SleeveandRNYchica 1,155]

So I had my pre-op nutrition appointment this evening. I really like the nutritionist and it was a plus because she spoke good English. Our convo went into Spanish several times, but I really like talking about all this health stuff in English. She took my height, weight, and measurements. It is confirmed I am shorter than I originally thought! 165 cm equals 5'5 ....Wow. I thought I was more like 5'6. So we talked about my history, she looked at my labs and told me how great and healthy they look. Again, confirmed I am healthy fat. If such a thing. HA! Anyway we talked about a variety of subjects. She did give me homework:

No Sugar

No Flour after 4 PM

Practice eating slower (I told her I am a fast eater)

No Calorie Counting

and she told my husband to HIDE THE SCALE!!!

Can I just tell you that I am a daily weigher, but after being on the boards for the last few weeks, I do believe it will be a great habit to break prior to surgery. My husband told the nutritionist he loves her for life.

I also had my pre-op dietary appointment today. Went pretty good especially since I didn't know what to expect. My homework is to cut down then out caffiene, slow down my eating and plan my meals. She will submit my paperwork back to the coordinator at my doctor's office and they will submit the paperwork to my insurance company. So I guess I could have an approval within the next 2 or 3 weeks!
