My Sixth Month Conversation With My Nutritionist



Recommended Posts

Hi All!

I had my sixth month follow up with my nutritionist Tuesday and had several questions answered, especially those concerning how I should eat to train to run. I am running quite a bit lately and am starting to train for my first half marathon so the answers were very helpful.

I had several questions for her that I needed answered. Questions such as:

Do I need to count net carbohydrates or gross?

Am I eating too much?

What should my ideal weight be; what should I be aiming for?

How should I nutritionally balance my meals?

How should I nutritionally prepare for race days?

Is it okay to use fuel gels during an endurance race?

How should I eat to recover after a race is finished?

I really don't want want to retype or copy paste what I have already written, so here is the link to the post about the conversation with the nutritionist on my blog.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
