Nutritionalist....Check!

So today I had the thrill of driving by myself to Baltimore to meet with a nutritionalist.  This would not be bad, as the drive is only about an hour and twenty minutes, but the problem is that it involves the beltway, which I hate.  Too many cars going way too fast and it is one of the things that stresses the living daylights out of me!

But I made it and the nut was nice.  She was very impressed with the fact that I had printed off the packet from the internet and had it all filled out and she was very pleased with how much I knew about this surgery and the things I can eat and the vitamins I will need to take.  I asked her just how safe she thought this surgery was and she told me about the amazing abilities to adapt that the GI system has and that the key is to follow the rules of protein, liquids and vitamins.  She has been met with patients that she said had this surgery 15 years ago when patients were armed with little to no knowledge about what to expect after the surgery.  

I left feeling reassured and much more comfortable about things once more.   

I'm sending a shout out to Lacy and Meg: I hope you girls are doing all right and I'm still praying for both of you!
