Part 1 of my trio apt tomorrow at HRRH

So tomorrow I have my dietician and social worker Apts.  My nurse apt got rescheduled to Dec 14th (insert eye roll and growl lol). So I have read our pkg we got at orientation several times and feel like I know the actual procedure enough that I could perform it (in my dreams). I have filled out my pkg I got for the nutritionist and wrote down my goals and how I plan to meet them. I also just got the book they recommended at orientation. I think I am all set. Anyone have any advice or ideas on what I need to make sure I know for his apt. I don't want anymore set backs to I want to be completely prepared. 

Thanks, Amanda

hello .I had trio sep 15.sw asked me a lot of questions .even stages of diet. complications ,why ,what I did to lost weight,

dietician checked my 3 day note. she want to see regular meal with protein and vegetable and snacks,

I felt like I had exam..now I have green line  to go ahead....but still it will take a lot of time .

good luck

Thanks for sharing 

I've only had orientation.

is the meeting with both or individual?

In your trio apt you have a one on one apt with the nurse practicioner, the dietician, and the social worker. So you get 3 Apts and they try and make them all in one day.

I think I'm prepared with the risks, food stages, and goals. Hopefully the nutritionist is ok with my log I have been mindfull with my eating to ensure I get all food groups in at each meal and have 2 higher protein snacks a day. I do tend to eat dinner later in the day (7-8pm) because we finish work so late. I have a feeling she won't be too happy about that but I don't go to bed until 11pm the earliest. I'm so nervous I just want this part done and over with.

Hi Amanda

All the best tomorrow😀. It sounds like you're ready. Since my orientation (September 18) every few days I'm going over the information because when my trio appt comes I want to be ready, the trio appointment is what I'm most anxious about.

please let us know who it goes.

hopefully you can get a cancellation for the other appointment.

have a great day

Dianne😀

I'm so nervous I really don't want anymore delays. I feel like I use to before  big exam lol. I will update after on what they ask and how it goes. 

In addition to what you and everyone else have already listed, the one question that caught me a little off guard and was asked by both the Social Worker and the Dietitian was something along the lines of  "Why do you think having surgery will work any better than your past failed weight loss attempts?"

That's actually a really good question.  Thanks for the head up on that one cause that would have thrown me off lol. I have been so focused on making sure I know all the risks, food stages,  my goals and how to obtain them. I never even thought of them asking why I think the will have a different outcome then previous attempts. I gotta come up with a good answer for that one lol.

I failed my first dietician visit with Humber and luckily passed the second visit. Make sure your food logs are balanced. meaning: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner all to include a starch, veggie and protein. Meals are to be 5 hours apart and snacks 2-3 hours apart and no more than 150 calories. She wants fats no more than 3g and sugar less than 10g per serving.  

Good luck! Social Worker is easy breezy. She basically just wants to know you have a support system in place and you know the basics of the operation.
