today's appointments

Hello everyone:

I have my RD, SW and a follow up with the psychologist today.  My weight is not down so I am worried about that, but I have done all my homework and have made a positive list of all the changes I have made - just wish the number on the scale reflected that, but I suppose it is, what it is.  Hoping that they pass me through today - then I have my doctor appointment Dec 20th

have a great day everyone

Good luck today Lee-Ann

How did it go?

The appointments went well but I was so tired after.  I met the social worker first - she said she saw a lot of improvement and took a lot of time to read my diary.  She said if the dietician wanted to see me again, she would see me too.

The psychologist approved me to go forward.  I have a panic disorder so she gave me some tips on dealing with that but said that she thought I was a good candidate.

The dietician did not think I lumped enough food groups together at the meals and wanted to see me again.  Also, I ate a lot of nuts and cheese for snacks and she wants me to stop eating nuts - she was more focused on calories then I would have thought ... every time she looked at my snacks (nuts, cheese, crackers) she would calculate how many calories I was eating. 

the good thing is that they can see me again before my scheduled appointment with the doctor that is December 20th - so I see them again on the 16th - so much time off work ... but if it helps to get me on the right path then that is they way it needs to be.

thanks for the update...when did you have the nutrition class?  i have made nevis a week and then dietician shortly after so i'm wondering what they expect from me...

Soo that's the say *i have my nutrition class in a week**

Hello Skinny gigi ... sorry for the delay - the dietician really quizzed me on foods, food groups and what my menu would look like after the surgery - she asked what full fluids meant compared to clear liquids and talked a lot about the grouping of the food groups - 3 for meals and carb plus protein for snacks ...
