Dietitian Counseling



Recommended Posts

I just had my dietitian appointment, and it was quite well, she gave me my grocery list from Vitamins to Protein supplements to purchase. but before I go spending money I just want to wait on the final approval. I have BCBS and WLS is cover by 90% I just have to do my psch evaluation which is next week. Maybe its just nerves thinking in the back of my head that I will be denied just don't want to get my hopes up

CONGRATS! your almost there. I would do some research on the internet for prices for Vitamins because I buy them over the internet as long as they're in a different state than mine. That way I don't pay for taxes and sometimes I get a really good price. also I make sure that shipping is free..... :)

Being lactose intolerant, I bought the Calcium supplements right away. I haven't bought anything else yet. I will when I get my "date".

      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.
