Met my NUT
Just had my first appt with my NUT (RD). LOVE HER!!!! She is awesome. It was a great appt. She took a lot of eating history and gave me some guidelines to follow until I see her next month. But she was clear to tell me they weren't RULES.
I asked her about the weight I should lose prior to surgery. She said it could be anywhere from 5-10% of my weight, but, again, she wasn't sticking hard and fast to that. She said there are so many other factors to consider when approving people for surgery, but she said by improving my diet and starting to incorporate exercise I'm bound to lose some weight.
I'll be meeting with her once a month. She works with the Psychologist in the program and they will determine when I'm ready for surgery. I have at least 2 more appts with the NUT and then I start the 6 week behavioral class next.
I'm on my way!!!!
