Scared for my first nutritionist appt - could use some advice

[ajmsp8879 24]

I have my first appointment in March with my nutritionist. I'm nervous, because I've gained about 4 pounds since my initial consult with the surgeon in early February. I fluctuate between 240 and 250, depending on what is going on in my life. I haven't started any nutritional plan yet, and I have three appointments scheduled in total with the nutritionist (March, April, May). I am moving this week into a new apartment, which is why I intentionally waited to start the entire process until after the move to make sure that I didn't have that going on in my life. I haven't been cooking much as most everything is packed up, which means a lot of take out. I've been tracking everything I eat for my first appointment, and I have been using my fitbit and tracking that info too. 100% honesty about my current lifestyle to give them a clear picture of how things are at my baseline in order to start making the changes to be successful. I'm just very nervous about the gain.... I don't want to lose this opportunity. I'm also a lowish (38-39) BMI patient, so on the flipside if I lose too much and I no longer qualify. Thoughts?

Everything will be fine. Just talk to your nutritionist about everything that's been going on and your concerns about your BMI disqualifying you. S/he will have a solid answer about that...or will be able to get one for you.
