Giving myself an intervention!

Dec 24, 2011

Ok, things aren't working as well as I'd hoped.

It's been 4.5 weeks since my surgery and I've lost a good amount of weight. 30lbs! HOWEVER!!... 20 of them were in week 1 (and I'm measuring from pre surgery, so It's not from the hospital fluids). I'm happy with the 30 - don't see a change in the mirror yet, but I'll trust the scale. The last three and a half weeks...it's going so slow. I go 6 days with no change then drop 2. then again. and again.  I'm not happy with my nutritionist, I feel rushed and like I'm not getting all of the information I should. Also they don't focus on protein here like they do in the states. No shakes, and the plans she suggest are about 20 grams, not 60! I feel very limited, and not limited enough all at the same time. It's not a good feeling. I also don't feel that restricted. I can definitely eat more then expected so it's goign to take a lot of extra will power to limit myself. I need to get better at eating every 3 hours and getting in more water. I'm not eating all the right foods. Too many carbs. And not getting in my vitamin supplements.

SO...I'm flying home to NY for three weeks to meet with a better nutritionist and get some better diet and exercise kickstarted. I'll have access to a natural food chef and a personal trainer. Hopefully it will set me on a good routine and give me some recipe ideas and good healthy habits to bring back to Israel with me.

Anyone know of a good nutritionist in nyc or westchester county??
