Hi guys and gals,
So I’m about 3 1/2 months pre op and I’m supposed to be losing 15 lbs on my own and my doctor was wondering if the surgeon and nurse practitioner went over the diet with me (they didn’t). All of what I know has been self research and an online class that was probably under an hour long. So I’m frustrated because they expect me to know everything without telling me anything. Im basically being left in the dark. I know I still have three and a half months left, but still. I have another surgery within this timeframe I’m worrying about too, so I need to know things! I think I have a pretty good grasp on things....no soda, 2-3 liters of water, healthier eating...I just need to get more active. But at my dr visit I was being asked questions I had no answers to because they were not discussed with me by anyone else....like healthy eating, exercising, etc. I have three more visits with my dr that are going to be the same way... So frustrating!
