First Dietitian Appointment?

Hey guys!

I'm going to my first dietitian appointment tomorrow, and I wanted to know what to expect. What specifically did you talk about?

Im trying to get ahead, so I've already logged my food for the last 2 weeks, quit NSAIDS, quit caffeine, and stopped drinking at the same time as eating a meal.

Thanks!

At my first appointment we went over my blood test results. I was surprised to find that I had nutritional deficiencies. So we started the supplementation regime right then and there which was specific to my needs. I was given a list of vitamins and stuff I needed to buy.

We went over my eating plans sheets that I was told to bring.

I had actually started eating healthy about 4 weeks before I saw the dietician. Actually, I started right after orientation. Interestingly enough, I was being very hard on myself. Although I got kudos for weight loss, we rejigged my plan and gave me more calories and more choices.

The plan was explained, the types of protein to eat/drink were explained. We also went over any food allergies (almonds for me) and any conditions that I had. After that discussion we decided to try some probiotics to help out a grumbly gut.

I was given tons of information, plans, snack ideas etc. etc.

It was a great appt that I got a ton out of. I go back in September for my follow up.

Thank you so much for the detailed response!

I forgot. We also talked about expectations. We looked at my weight and what my goal weight really would be. It was not what I expected at all so a really good conversation.

Thank you! That helped a lot. :)
