Today was my first visit with the nutritionist. Things went well. I was measured around the waist and weighed. As of today I am 5′8″ 434 Pounds and I think the measurement was 72″ I am almost as round as I am tall. If that isn’t incentive to keep going nothing is. Haha! I got what I am guessing is the normal banter about how I am a perfect candidate for bariatric surgery and they are right. I am huge and a health risk to myself. But, the fact is that I have never really tried to loose weight before and never even really tried to learn how to eat right. I think it is much more important for me to learn how to eat properly before even thinking about having surgery to loose weight. If after changing my eating habits, I am still huge, then I will consider it. Anyway, after the surgery talk, the nutritionist gave me some papers on how to help keep track of what I am eating and some information on what types of foods I should eat less of and so on.

I was given a goal of losing 5 pounds until my next appointment in a month and She also told me about a web site that will help me keep track of what I am eating and the number of calories I am taking in each day which is a good thing since I have really slacked off on tracking my daily food intake for the past month as you can see by the missing meal plans. The site she recommended is called Fit day. The have a great website that lets you search for foods and record everything you eat during the day. It is easy to keep track of your daily food intake and see how much fat, protein and carbs you are putting into your body, plus a wealth of other nutrition information. They also have a downloadable software application that installs on your PC and seems to have many additional features that are not included in the web site. It looks like a good application, but I have not tried it out, so I don’t know for sure.
