Pre-op Dietician consult

11/24/2004
Had my consultation with the dietician today. It was a tad bit difficult with not being able to use artificial sweeteners. My pre-op shakes may be an issue, a little too high in carbohydrates. We may be able to compensate with soymilk or a soy powder. I will call her on Friday. I was weighed today with jeans, sweatshirt and shoes and am 283. Though my home scale (fewer clothes) is 278.5 this morning. She commended me for the weight loss and explained that most people don't lose weight before the pre-op diet. I explained that I wanted it to show that I am committed to this process.
