What to expect at my first NUT appointment today?

I have to meet with the nutritionist once a month for 6 months....

Any ideas what will take place today?

Thanks,

Steph

Nutritionists meet with a really wide range of clients, some of whom are knowlegeable, and some don't have any clue. So, what I've seen and heard from first meetings is, they talk about really basic stuff, like what protein and carbs are. Plus, they want to know about you and your eating habits.

Mine gave me the eating plan - what my target protein should be, and sent me off to get busy eating correctly.

My first appt was very simple........we went over foods I will and won't eat, and how they will fit into a healthy eating plan. Then she just told me I had to log for the next month, and would need to lose 15 lbs before being cleared for surgery, unless insurance required something else ( I was getting ready to switch insurance companies).  The next appt was more indepth looking at what I ate more closely and what I needed to change out for healthier options, etc.

Here's what I recall her recording:  current weight, weight history, knowledge of good food choices, diet attempt successes and failures, WLS expectations/goals.  I also recall tears flowing; you will be stronger than me.

 Thanks everyone!

I was told that I was meeting with the NUT but it turned out to be the insurance specialist.

My meeting with the NUT and my physical are April 28th..

Thanks again
