Had an appt with my Dietician and I am so peeved!

Oh Dear- I hate it when the assigned health care provider is not up to the task -or even just a poor fit-

my favorite example from my own life is when I was discharged a week after the birth from my daughter a d the doctor discharging said the following - you need to get this vaccination.. what is it- I do not know but it is standard at discharge ( it was for whooping cough and I had had my booster les than a year prior-)

And then he said - oh and since you had a regular (ie vaginal birth) with no stitches you do not require any follow up- no dude I had an emergency c-section under total sedation after failed progression and now have a smiley face of staples

i told him to leave and find me a doctor who could read a chart

but since it seems you are nicer than I am, I would ask your surgeon- who you get along with quite well- to refer you to a registered dietitian (not just a ‘nutritionist’- as there is a difference where I am from)- preferably one with extensive bariatric experience

you have a lot of knowledge but we all have blind spots - a good dietitian can be your nutrition partner in this journey. Good luck!
