Nervous about NUT

[Big_Mama 511]

Today I see the nutritionist. I'm nervous about it because when I last saw the surgeon, on 11/6, I was 10 lbs lighter than I am now. My insurance already approved me, and I'm scheduled for surgery on 12/29. This is my last Dr's appt before surgery, but I'm afraid the nutritionist will change all that because I've gained more weight. Of course it's my fault I've gained, because I'm eating everything I feel I can't have after surgery, but can it be delayed due to weight gain?! My Dr. doesn't require a 2 week pre-op diet, but I am putting myself on one starting Monday, exactly 2 weeks before my big day.

If it's already approved by insurance I doubt they would cancel it. They would lose a lot of money. Good luck!

Thanks! I guess you're right! Just worried because a friend was saying they could deny me for gaining weight, or delay it till I lose some weight.

I wouldnt be to worried. Most of us go throught the last meal syndrome. Looking back its not the best thing to do and in not the long run you wont care about what you use to eat.Instead you will look at other shoveling huge plates of food down their throat and wonder how the hell you use to do that. It takes a few months to get to that point. You will have some second thoughts at first, wanting that huge plate of food.

@@Elode you were right! Nothing to worry about. She didn't even weigh me! We just talked about post-op diet & what to expect! 18 days to go!!!!! I'm ready!

I am waiting on approval from my insurance. I have completed all 6 months of my doctor supervised diet. I have lost 29 lbs. With my surgeon, if you weigh more than you did at your first weigh in on surgery day, he will refuse to do surgery. He wants a commitment from all of his patients that they can show they are willing to do what it takes to loose the weight before and after the surgery. I get tempted all the time to go on eating sprees but I also am going to have my first grandchild in March and want to be around for a long time. I want to be able to play in the floor with her and and do things with her that I unfortunately missed out with my 3 boys. I hope all goes well with your surgery. I will have mine before the end of the year and am extremely excited. Best wishes!
