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.

      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.
