6 Month Medically Supervised Diet

[hudjess 95]

Did you have to go to your PCP? If you had the choice did you like going to your PCP or did you like going to the Registered Dietitian more? I am still going to my diet visits until they submit to insurance but I am thinking of going to my PCP I really like him a lot and the RD I don't really care too much for. Thanks in advance.

@@hudjess I went to the Registered Dietician at my Bariatric Program. She was able to help me learn how I will need to be eating post WLS rather than typical "dieting".

That makes a lot of sense, I think I am more scared of the RD than my PCP because I feel like he knows me pretty good and tells me how it is. I am done with my appointments but I continue to go because I think it will be better for me in the long run. I didn't know if I should switch back to my PCP or just continue to go to the RD and actually get to know her. Thank you for your feedback the couple times I have posted you comment, I really appreciate it. (:

@@hudjess The person who helped me the most as I prepared was the psychologist at my Program. She helped me to look at my eating habits and discussed tools to help with emotional eating (boredom eating, mindless eating, etc.). I start my pre-op liquid diet tomorrow and will probably use more of the tools she provided than the nutritionist did.

I have been going to my pcp for 3 months because my insurance now doesn't cover bariatric until January so I think it's ok to go to your pcp.
