New trainer, and new Dietitian!



Recommended Posts

Saw my new dietitian. Loved her. She was very down to earth, very straight forward and direct. Loved that.

I told her about the questions that my trainer has, as far as supplements and such post workout.

She made some small changes in her recommendations for Protein, and changed my Protein powder to a different one that contains extra amino acids for post workout. She also increased my daily protein a bit and increased my carbs a bit.

Tomorrow I have my first session with my new lifting trainer, SO excited!!!

I'm back. HERE I AM!!

It went great. I love the new trainer. Both the trainer and my dietitian are comfortable with what each other have to say and suggest. I spent quite some time with the trainer talking about my goals, and doing various testing and measurements, etc. Then she introduced me to all the various machines and free weights etc.

it was great because there was nobody at the gym during this time. She set up an entire program for me and really made me feel at ease with everything. It's going good so far, however I'm a nurse and worked this past weekend so tomorrow it's back to the gym for me!

I feel good about everything, I know this will be a bit of a long haul but i'll get there.

      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.
