Dietician Messed Me Up



Recommended Posts

I'm going for my final weigh in today and scared I haven't lost enough. I've been working with my dietician for 3 months. Last month, she put me on a diet where I was supposed to consume 14 servings of carbs a day. That's 210 grams of carbs in one day. Well needless to say, it wasn't working!!! So when I visited with the nurse from my doctor's office 2 weeks later, I hadn't lost any weight. When I told her what diet the dietician put me on, she was appauled. I was only supposed to be eating 45 grams of carbs a day and the dietician had me on 210. Needless to say, she changed my diet to 45 grams of carbs a day and 60 grams of Protein a day. That was only 3 weeks ago that my diet was changed and so far, I've only lost 7 pounds. (And that's when I way myself in the morning) When I weigh myself in the evening, my weight is usually 2-3 pounds higher than the morning. My final weigh in with the nurse is today at 2:00 and I'm scared that I won't have good numbers. :w00t::thumbup:

Wish me luck!!!

Oh that must be so frustrating. I wish you lots of luck.

I never weigh myself in the evenings, I know it's going to be heavier than in the morning and not my "true" weight (so I like to think, ha!). If I had to get weighed at the doctor in mid-afternoon I'd think about not eating anything or eating very very light all day until then. And I'd wear my lightest clothes!

Yep! It is frustrating. I feel like I'm trying to make up for 3 months of weight loss in 2 weeks. I agree about eating light. All I've eaten today is a 1/2 of a pickle. 3 more hours until the moment of truth.

It went well. Even though I only lost 2.6 pounds according to her scale, I should hear from my insurance company in two weeks and if all goes well, I should have my surgery on June 6th. That was the best part!!! Hopefully I will not have any problems with insurance and can officially be in June bandster. Thanks for your replies and support.

Waiting patiently!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
