Hello Friends... I meet with my Nutritionist tomorrow morning. What questions would you suggest asking her. I am going to try and stick to Organic products for Protein, nutrition, etc as I want to get the purest form of absorption into my body.

What is a question you wish you would have asked that you now know about and would have been helpful?

Thank you your response means alot to me.... Cindy

I think your questions are going to come with time. Your diet will change dramatically in the first six months following surgery. You will not be able to eat enough volumn to get adequate Protein without supplementing with powders or shakes. If you are concerned about eating organically, you may wish to ask about brands that are more organic, however I think in the beginning you need to concentrate on getting the most grams of Protein for the fewest possible amount of calories.

I am 11 months out and am focusing more on organic and higher quality food choices, especially when it comes to the meats that I am eating. I have found that grass fed beef, for example, has more protein per ounce than grain fed beef. I have also found the same for chicken. If I am going to eat three ounces of chicken, I want the maximum grams of protein!

Good luck with tomorrow's appointment. I would be interested in hearing what you learn.

      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.
