It wasn't as painful as I imagined. I've been struggling with weight issues since I was four. She didn't tell my anything new. She recommend I start eating like I would after surgery. And taking Vitamins. Yay food log! Already have been for years with WW. I'm ready for this journey!

I can remember my first nutrition appt and in the blink of an eye I completed my last 'required' one yesterday. I plan on continuing to see mine, however, because I adore her! She's uplifting and supportive and I feel like if I keep seeing her I might have a fighting chance at this to be successful.

Glad your first appt went well! Best of luck with your journey!

Thank you! I have state insurance that requires 6 visits but I heard that they accept 4. I'm hoping I could do they, but I'm OK if I have to do 6. How has your journey been?

I been seeing my NUT since 2/26/13 every 2 weeks ... I was 296 when I started and I'm down to 263 as of yesterday when I saw my surgeon and he's okay with my surgery now ... He wanted my BMI down since I'm only 5" and I wouldn't have done with out her ... :) after my surgery I'm going to continue to see her ... I need the accountability if not I slack and start gaining it all back :(

Good for you. It was just a broken record for me. I've seen nutritionists many times. But whatever it takes I'm ready for! I hope this goes fast.

Does your insurance require 6 visits?

Mine requires 3 visits, and they don't have to be a month apart....with how we've timed them, I'll be done July 1st with NUT visits.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
