Website resource
May 24, 2009
I want to give y'all a website that has a LOT of great information in it for both RNY and Lapband patients. It is run by the Medical University of South Carolina's Bariatric Surgery program: http://www.muschealth.com/weightlosssurgery/nutrition/index.htmOn this particular page, if you click on which surgery you had, there are surgery specific resources. On the right hand side of this page is a lot of information that is great for getting ideas for 100 calorie packs, recipes, etc.
There are links to email the registered dietitians on staff too. I have seen both Debbie and Nina. I can tell you that they are the best I have ever dealt with. They may be thin themselves but they know their stuff and they know their patients. They are great at helping you find alternatives when you are having problems. There are a TON of things you can print out for yourself. I am checking out recipes myself today!
You know what? As I sit here printing page after page out, I realize that I need someplace to keep these pages where I will see them and use them. Some place where they will do the most good! So....I am going to remove the pictures from my refrigerator and I am going to start putting the important pages up on the fridge. Heaven knows I have enough magnets! And I am going to put together a binder of pages that I can keep in my truck for reference when shopping or eating out. It is time, past time, that I get serious about this and really buckle down. I can't rely on my swiss cheese brain to remember the things I need to know.
