Dan M.
Nutrition Counseling Visit 1
Jul 31, 2013
Today was my first visit with the nutritionist. She works for NuWeights and is at Dr. Anez’s office every Thursday. The visit went very well. Today we talked about my history and current eating habits. I read this somewhere and it really drove home what these next three months will be. Pre-Op you work on HOW you eat and Post-Op you work on what you eat.
I have three behavioral changes to work on for the next few weeks.
1) Chew food well (applesauce consistency)
2) Eat slower. Meals should be 30 mins not 10. (put fork down in between bites)
3) Increase activity 3 30mins walks per week.
I am a very fast eater. I eat a lot and I eat it fast. So the first 2 changes will be a big change for me. Today I had two meals that seem like they took forever to eat. Some other changes my husband and me are making: No more eating in front of the TV and no liquids 30 mins before or after and eating off salad plates.
My next visit Aug 22.
