The dietician visit went well. She was glad to hear that I have cut out the sodas and caffeine. I am eating better and feel better. She approved of my vitamins and protein supplements. Since I have been hungry in between meals she told me to eat 3 small meals and 3 snacks per a day, nothing with more than 10 grams of sugar, low carb, no bread, potatoes, crackers, pasta, chips, or popcorn. 90 grams of protein a day, 500 milligrams of calcium twice a day, 2 Bariatric Fusion multivitamins in the morning and 2 at night. She said no additional vitamins are needed for me because my multivitamin has all the B vitamins in it and it has iron too. She said if my levels come back too low on anything that they will add additional vitamins as needed. She was pleased with the amount of weight I have lost already. At my next appointment she said she will go over my pre-op and post-op diets in detail and then they will send off for insurance approval. She said as soon as approval is received they will call to get me set me up for my pre-op appointment with the surgeon and give me instructions for when to start my pre-op diet. She said we are still looking at a surgery date of between late March to early April.
