APPOINTMENT WITH DIETICIAN!

Apr 17, 2009

well yesterday i met up with the dietician and we discussed a diet plan to follow for the next two months or so. S put me on a low carb, Sugar free, High protien diet for the next 6 weeks and in the weeks leading up to surgery i will be on a liquid shakes type of diet replacing breakfast and lunch with a protien shake and then having a normal dinner. i lost 1 pound since the weigh in with my primary doctor (which i feel is not good cuz i was expecting like 8 or 10) but these next weeks ima try harder. Still don't know if the doctor is going to make me loose at least 30 pounds before submitting me to the insurence talked to Kristen (my dietician) and she said she would speak to him because it is such a high number and that some other patients have had the same question. Over all im happy and  anxious. going to increase my working out because its true the less i weight the better and smoother the surgery will go. kristen told me "Gissel if you loose 25 punds before surgery those are 25 pounds won't come back, Cmon work hard" and yes thats what im going to do. I can't wait to join the losers bench and get approved. Thank you all for all the advice and encouragement! til next time.....
