2nd Appt. with Dietitian

Hi all, I'm new to the web site and have been reading the messageboard for a while. Everyone seems so supportive and positive. I have my 2nd appt. with the dietitian tomarrow Jan 2nd. My first appt. was Dec. 1st. I was wondering what to except? I am nervous I have not lost any weight since the first appt. with the holidays and all. I have tried to stick to the diet and listen to my satiety signal I hope that has help. Any info would be great. Thanks JEN

Jen Welcome and don't worry. I had my surgery with Dr. Barba on Dec 12th of 2005 so I am about 3 weeks out. I met with Judy and she is a doll. She will understand about the holidays. Encourage you to do your best. I had a hard time too with the losing before the surgery I had a lot of stress with several issues, so related to the surgery, some not. In any case, I ended up losing 12 pounds the week before my surgery. Don't beat yourself up, Judy will not either. Just get back in gear so you can be on the losing side soon. Please feel free to email me anytime if you have any questions. I may not have the answers, but will be glad to help if I can. Tina

Hi Jen, I also have my 2nd appt next week and have only lost a few pounds. I have been doing what she told me but the weight doesn't seem to be coming off. I'm sure they will give you more time to lose it. Good luck! Vanessa

Thanks to all. The support here is great!!!
