Nutrition Classes

Nov 22, 2010

I am required by me insurance to take an 8 week nutrition class and I am as of current going on my 6th week.  We meet every Sat. for two hours.  I thought that I would really hate the class but as it turns out I am enjoying myself.  Although most of what is talked about are things that most life long dieters, such as myself, already have a good grasp on it is nice to refresh some of it.

Here's the one problem with the class, it is not a nutrition class for GB people.  It is simply for people wanting to lose weight and understand the process of eating right.  Also the instructor is openly against GB and is rather hateful about it if it is at all talked about.  I find this strange as all except maybe 4 people are taking the class because it is a requirement to be eligible for GB.

I must admit when I first realized that she is so anti GB I was a bit ticked because of her attitude but then I just decided I don't care what she thinks about it this is  a decision I have made by being persistent in my search for information and others that have been through it.  She will not stand in my way!

I am also a bit surprised that the insurance company does not have a nutrition class just for people considering the GB or other wt loss surgery's.  This seem that it would be much more helpful to those in need of a better understanding of GB.  I have discovered that many of the people who are taking the class in hopes of getting GB know almost nothing about it.  I found this extremely surprising!  I just can not imagine jumping into such an extreme choice with out full knowledge of what to expect.  I have spent a lot of the time trying to help inform them and guide them to places for more information.  I hope that they follow through with getting themselves informed!

So that is it for now.  I can't wait for the next steps because I am SO READY !
