No Nutrition Program

I talked with my sister this weekend about the nutrition program I had signed up to do through my yoga studio and she was really weary about me going through the program.  One of her biggest concerns was "what if after all the tests they run they come back and tell you to eat foods you can't eat?"  I had to think about that, not to mention I am moving next Monday (my mom has graciously given up one of her days off to help me) and I have only a little bit packed as well as our family is getting together to celebrate my nephew's 3rd birthday on Sunday and the program ran until 5 pm.  So, after thinking about it all weekend and chatting with my sister I decided to cancel (It is early enough that I am able to get my money back) and make an appointment with the Dietican I was seeing through PNC.  So I called up PNC today and I have an appointment with Amy next Monday morning (I figured I would be up to the appointment more in the morning than in the afternoon after moving all day).  I am hoping to find out how many calories I should be consuming and what I can do to help keep my energy up while training for the marathon and 5K.  I feel good about this decision even though my interest is still peaked by the nutrition program I guess I need to realize that I have special dietary needs that most nutritionists/dieticains are not familiar with.  When I asked my sister who is a health coach & personal trainer if she could help me out she wouldn't give me any advise except to meet with Amy at PNC.  So, I am hoping that I can get some answers from Amy and go from there.

Very smart decision it sounds like, Nicole! You're taking ownership of you, isn't it cool?!

Yeah, I am glad that my sister and talked about it this weekend and that I am at a point in my life where I can confidently make this decision.  A year ago I wouldn't have cancelled I would have gone and if it turned out to be worthless I would have just chalked it up as another loss.  My sister was also really happy that I trusted her enough to take her advise.

Unfortunately it's the same Amy, but I am just going to tell her that I am not drinking milk because I can't stomach it, it makes my tummy upset and always tastes sour no matter how fre**** is.  If she doesn't want to be flexible then I will see if I can find a different dietician who works with WLS people.
