Dietitian Aptmt!

My 1st Dietitian aptmt went well! I saw her yesterday. She said that I'm doing well. 25lbs lost since I started the program the end of April. The dietitian gets you ready for surgery.

I am now on a 1 cup diet.

Which means...

* 1/2 of cup must be low fat protein
* other 1/2 of cup can be veggies, fruit, whole grains, low fat dairy, or more protein.

I do that every 2hrs. If I get hungry in between I can have veggies.

Other things I have to do....

- consume NO liquids 30 mins before to 30 mins after each meal.

- Take 20-30 mins to eat your meals & work on chewing each bite 20-30mins. Just preparing you because after surgery this is how i'll have to eat.

I see her again in 2 wks. She said if everything goes good then she will be putting in my referral to see the psychologist!

Here is my list of things to do before I can have surgery....i've done a bunch already as you can see.
