I have to see the Nutritionists on the 20th. I would like to be prepared for any question she has. Should I make a list of my daily meal intake. Or what it is that I buy at the grocery store? What will they ask for?

@@flmommyof2 Everyone is different, mostly they will tell you what nutrition looks like after banding. They may have a questionnaire for you to fill out that might ask some questions about what you eat or what your eating habits are. If you wanted to bring a list of groceries or what your meal plans currently look like that wouldn't hurt they may or may not review them with you but it will help you to get an idea of what your doing now vs. what you will be doing after surgery.

They are not or should not be there to make judgements they are there to help you to learn and have good nutrition and eating mechanics post banding.

Good luck!!

Thank you "lisacaron" for taking the time to answer my question. I DO have a few questions I would like to ask her about how much daily intake of carbs,calories and Protein I should take in. I was afraid she expect me to have done my research and already know this. Thanks again so much hun. Have a blessed day:)

Just got back from surgeon and I have problems with my liver by taking too many med's. I have to lose 60 lbs before surgery. The medical history I'll have to have the sleeve. The surgeon has set me up with Dr's to help. I half to be on liquid diet like your going to be on so the weight will come off.

      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.
