"Want to start Early on my nutrition Diet (pre-op) HELP!

Hello, can someone help me as to what should I start doing before I meet my nutritionist? I would like to have a head start , so I can brain wash myself to not eating the way I use to. If there is anyone who can help, please do...thanks Elite52

 I have not met my nutritionist yet.  I started 6 month pre-surgery diet in Oct.  I was told to eat high protein, low carbs (no potatoes, pasta), veggies and fruits like apples, oranges, strawberries, blue berries, (not melons, bananas or grapes--too high in sugar).   I eat 2 slices of protein bread a day with low-fat Jif peanut butter(on the diet), protein shakes or bars (Zone, South Beach, Pure Protein recommended because low carb), lean meats and veggies for dinner.  STring cheese or handful of nuts for snacks.  Eat every 3 hours (don't worry about calories for now) and eat protein bar, smoothie or nuts/cheese for snacks.    The protein really does make you feel full.  ALso, don't eat after 6:30 p.m.  

Thank you patcatpaws, I think I am doing ok, because its the same as you said. But he wants me to pay 4,000.00 for the food, protein bars and drinks . Visits to his office for exercise and vitamines. Now he also says that if I do this , my insurance will pay for my operation.Now doesn't tha t sound like I am paying for it?  So I started also on the 1st of Oct, and I have lost almost 1 2lbs. All I need to do is to start a gym for 3times a week. My surgery is to be in March of 2011. I really want this so I can be happy and it is a life time thing. I was 352,2 lbs, now I am 342lbs. So to me that means a lot.I have started eating a lot of greens and small portions.Ok, I will have to stop eating after 6:30, thk u for that, hey I might lose more because that is when I am really looking for something to munch on...lol  Keep intouch and let me know how you are doiing, and I will do the same.....Thank you again.  elite52
