New Doc, new Nut tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

Meeting me new team tomorrow and excited to see what they can offer me to start working this regain back off. Obviously I'm in for some serious work, which I'm willing to do.

BUT I really want to get specific direction from the Nut and the doc both. I generally can do EXACTLY as i'm told IF i'm given a specific path/plan. it's just my personality.

While I'm completely humiliated to meet this man and admit to my gain, i'm also relieved that there is going to be some light in sight.

Wish me luck!

If you like, I'm wishing you luck.

I understand that you're feeling humiliated, but it's uncalled for. The surgeons, NPs, RDs and all the other staff members have seen and heard it all. They won't judge and they'll be happy to work with you toward your success. Your determination is obvious.

You don't need luck. You have your power.

I know if they are like other doctors, no reason to feel humiliation or embarrassment. Doctors have seen it all.

As long as you are continuing to fight this disease called obesity you are a success and not a failure - you just need direction and help with the next steps. you are paying them to look after you.

I hope you will come back and tell us how it goes. I find NUTS to be hit or miss in their helpfulness. wishing you all the best with yours.

Well, i had my appt. i was a bit disappointed. since this surgeon doesn't really know me, or my history at all, he did tell me that i may benefit from an appetite suppressant. i'm not all that interested in diet pills.

Then the nut couldn't see me after all, so i'm supposed to go back. but i've decided to go back to my original surgeon and nut for at least some guidance (and they know my entire case). all i really need is a kick in the pants and a specific plan on WHAT to do. i think i have a pretty good idea, i've been through it once! appt in 10 days.

i think this is a good plan to go back to original medical team

you are obviously a smartie pants!!!! LOL

i saw your earlier post, i don't remember why you had to change doc/NUT?

the new doc didn't thrill you

suggested pills you rather not take

NUT had to postpone your meeting

these are small red flags IMO

not necessary or good for you to feel humiliated

10 days - can you try and do liquids again

for a jump start? - 3, 6, 8, 10 days!!!

a few days anyway would be great ;)

you know what to do

you are a success, even if you gained a few lbs

i just put my sun glasses on

i see that light at the end of the tunnel

it's shining brightly for you!!!

you can do this

i'm giving you a long distance kick in the arse

hugggggs too!!

good luck bud

      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.
