Humber River wait times

How do we need to prepare for the dietician? Thanks for your response. I want this to go a smoothly as possible and do whatever I need to be doing now

I am confused why the dietician wouldn't pass you?   wouldnt they teach you what you needed to know to help ou be successful instead of not passing?

I too didn't pass the dietician the first time. Mostly due to the fact that my meals were not balanced and not evenly spaced apart.  

Here is what she told me to do with my 3 day food log (and I passed the second time):  Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner need to be 5 hours apart, include a protein, starch and veggie in each.  Snack 2 hours from Meal and only 2 snacks. Each snack needs to be under 150 calories.  

She doesn't like seeing processed foods either. Try to make recipes up.

thank you so much for providing this!

From my orientation Oct 2014 to my surgery just completed Oct 6 2015 it was almost a full year wait. Use your wait time to start cutting food portions and getting away from foods u will find hard to stop eating. I'm on day 2 out of surgery and besides the discomfort I feel so much relief and calmer. It's an uphill road in recovery so just enjoy each day till your time comes. It will be here before u know it.
