Last appointment before meeting the surgeon

I'm meeting the psychologist on Wednesday and I've been cleared by the other clinicians.  So excited and nervous!!!

I'm at TWH, and I'm so anxious to have a date for surgery.

That is great news! congratulations

Wonderful keep us updated!

Congrats!

How did you find the dietician appointment? Any tips or advice you can offer? Mine is next month. They tell us its quite common to have another follow up, and in truth  I'd prefer not have another follow up... lol I just wanna 'pass' on my first try so like I said any advice or tips would be great.

Good luck on Wednesday!! And keep us posted.

Do your best to lose some weight between now and then. I was able to lose 7 lbs- it wasn't a lot but she said it showed that I had made changes and was serious.  And keep a food log just in case.  If they decide they want to see your food log, at least you have it instead of having to start it and wait for 30 additional days.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the advice. Where you asked to keep a food log during the whole period? We were only asked to record one week. I haven't kept any food logs...waiting to my do my week closer to my appointment date.

That's good- but I do know the dietitian has asked for additional food logs if she's not happy with the one week.  So for that week - make sure you're eating 3 meals and 2 healthy snacks. Dot every i and cross every t.  Good luck!

Thanks.  I actually called one of the dieticans at my center, had me a tad worried  about keeping a food journal. I know they recommend you do it...I was told I don't have to keep a food log except for that week. Perhaps if you have to do follow up after the first appointment, perhaps you do. I know stuff varies from centre to centre.

Thanks again for the advice/tips. I'm still working on stuff, but getting there.

make sure you complete your homework assignment that you get from the nutrition class too!

Great news.  You'll do well.
