Food Plan with Macik for RNY

What is the food plan that Dr. Macik provides for patients who have the RNY?

I go for my Pre-op tomorrow. I should get the information then. If I do, I'll let you know. My surgery is next Monday. Whoo Hoo!

Congrats, I am so jealous.  Do you go to his support groups?  I have been going to Dr. Smith's support groups since i live in Acworth.

Do you mean pre op or post op first 6 wks.......?

After the intial phases of food it's three meals a day of protein and no snacks... he wants you at 500 cals....!!!!!

I'm seven months out and down 100 pnds....! I just upped my carb and cal intake but I excersise a lot too....

Post Op.  Also, when you go through him, do you find your own psychologist or does he have one that he refers you to? If he refers you, is it a face to face meeting or an answer the question type thing.

I have Dr. Macik.  I used who they referred me to, Gary Santavicca.  He's in Marietta.

I met with him in person.  I first filled a long questionnaire.  I then met with him one-on-one.  Then, we met in a group.  I think all he does is the Psychological testing for needed for insurance approval.  I liked him.  He was very positive and sympathetic.

 I am going to assume that you passed the eval?

Yes I passed. It isn't awful. You fill out a long questionaire.  He is going to want to pass you.  He just wants to make sure you are not seriously depressed.  You will do fine.

I went to the one Dr. Macik's office recommended.  There were 2 on the list.  I went to a gentleman and we spoke face to face and then he asked me to fill out a questionnaire type thing.  He practically feed me the answers that he wanted to hear.
