Topic: RE: newbie preparing for gastric bypass question about nutritionist

Congrats on posting and moving forward for your health.  I agree with the others about a new nutritionist. You are the customer and deserve to be treated as such. However, sometimes the nutritionist, as part of the WLS "team", can indeed put a stop on you moving forward. I'd advise asking the program director for another nutritionist with whom you can feel more connected.  I'd advise being careful as to how you word your request and try to be diplomatic.  I had my WLS delayed for 6 months b/c the "team" felt I needed weekly therapy. It was very depressing since the social worker/psych eval cleared me to go through.

Have you tried the Nectar fruit flavored ones that you mix with water?  They're pretty tasty and thin like watery juice.  Good luck!

Topic: nausea

Is it common to still have nausea 5 weeks since the surgery?  I am taking the anti nausea medication that helps for a time but it comes back.

Fire her.  Quickly.

If you are part of a multidisciplinary program, see if there is another dietitian/nutritionist you can work with, and report her behavior to the program.  It may just be a personality clash, or she may be treating others the same.

Nevertheless, don't take mistreatment from anyone, no matter how badly you want the surgery.

Topic: RE: Is Eating Ice Bad for You?

 Teeth are made up of enamel and dentin.If we are eating the ice then we are putting a great deal of pressure on our teeth and it is bad for enamel, which can cause cracks or chips. When the enamel is chipped and dentin is exposed,  teeth will weaken and experience sensitivity.And it bad for the germs.I read some articles from the best custom essays about the eating ice and teeth ,if you have interest read it.

Topic: RE: Protien

I found after surgery I couldnt tolerate my protein shakes. The only way I was able to tolerate them was by diluting them down or mixing them with plain greek yogurt and making a disgusting looking "slurry". A lot of the protein shakes were just "too sweet" for me at the time and I found the greek yogurt cut the sweetness. Good Luck to you
