hpefully you will feel inspired by your nut and not discouraged she did and exercise were she had us go around the room and say the surgery were having and our biggest struggle of the month no judgment just understanding and compassion i really love my nutritionist. she rocks and she explains stuff in a non threating way like the amount of weight to lose how to stay away from bad carbs and how to make better trade offs shes just really down to earth

[Taking_back_my_life 21]

I have never been so ready to do something before. I have to lose 20lbs before I see the surgeon. I have all my test set up so hopefully the next few months will fly by and I can get sleeved!!! My insurance also requires a 3 month supervised nutrition plan. Hopefully I'll get everything done in that 3 month time frame so I can get a date by the end if the year

[newmebithebypass 713]

Wow only 3 months mine required 6 but the time is started and I know it will just fly by

I just had my first NUT on 9/3. I'm excited, nervous, a little overwhelmed and very hopeful...

[Taking_back_my_life 21]

I had lots of blood work this morning and tonight I had my first support meeting!!! Everything is starting to fall into place. Exciting times for all of us

[Taking_back_my_life 21]

Is your insurance making you wait 6 months? My insurance requires 3 month supervised program however it maybe an additional month or two before I get my surgery date. I'm hoping it's not that long. Staying positive!

[newmebithebypass 713]

Yes I have to wait 6 months so I'll be done by February and I should be in surgery by mid march or early April at the latest

Hello, Sorry for the late response. In my nutrition meetings we go over the basics of nutrition, whats a smart choice, whats a bad food choice, the importance of Protein, etc. For the first 4 months I am seeing a staff nutritionist, the last 2 month visits I will see the Bariatric Program Director who is also a nutritionist. I've been to a few of her support meetings that she hosts & I think that when I meet one on one with her I will truly gain something from her sessions. She has so much to offer in her support groups I'm looking forward to my one on one sessions with her.

How are you doing?

[newmebithebypass 713]

I'm doing well I was weighed at the drs yesterday and I'm down 3 pounds so I'm pretty happy
