Ok, so I was informed by the nutritionist that I need to start changing my eating habits... Yay for, me to (start counting calories). I should only eat 1200 calories a day.

Even though I have yet to be approved for, weight loss surgery. My inclination of assumption would be... The nutritionist wants me not to wait until the last min then butting my body in shock; when the time prohibit for, me to be placed on the liquid diet.

Hopefully this make sense, because it sounded in my head lol

Can any or everyone give me some help! on how I'm going to only eat 1200 calories per day?? what could I eat?

When When I went for my initial consult they gave us a binder wit a suggested eating plan. And there plenty to eat. They told me 1200-1500 per day, with 60-80 grams of Protein. Give me a minute and I'll upload a couple of pics of the pages.

Hope you can see those and hope it helps. If you can't see them or just want them scanned and emailed to you I can do that. Just let me know. And I do agree that changing now will make it easier. In fact, I'm going back to a strict 1200 calories (I'd was between 1400-1500) since I'm close to getting an actual surgery date.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
