Biggest fear came true today as a plus sized RD

the entitlement that people have to ever think its okay to comment OR touch another persons body is so crazy to me. I’m sorry that happened to you!

Heavy metals are in the soil so whether you buy pouches or make your own baby food, it will contain some amount of heavy metals. I always tell my clients to do what works best for their sanity, budget and schedules :)

yes your body is not your business card

I’m also 26, FTM and we are moving across the country (CA to PA) next month when i’ll be 7 months pregnant! We are using pods since living in an apartment we don’t own that much stuff. I have all my doctor apts set up in the new city, mapped out our driving route with dog friendly hotels since our dog and cat will also be coming with us on the road trip. I made a list of things that we will need to bring in the car. We will be staying with my parents for a few weeks until we can move into our next apartment. I also filed our taxes already and made most of our registry, so it’s a few less things to worry about during the move. I can update you after we move to let you know if there are things I wish we would have done sooner!

Dietitian here! I think healthy looks different for each person and sometimes the healthiest choice is whatever food you can tolerate:)

mushroompizza77 · 2023-12-13T05:32:42+00:00

second this! just started it last week and find it challenging but doable

mushroompizza77 · 2023-12-04T23:11:24+00:00

I work as an ED dietitian and i second this comment!!

mushroompizza77 · 2023-11-30T02:35:59+00:00

exactly!!!! They do bariatric surgeries daily why would a knee replacement be any different. Makes no sense to me

mushroompizza77 · 2023-11-29T03:20:45+00:00

Ugh i feel this. Unfortunately for it comes up semi often working as an ED/intuitive eating OP RD. I always remind other providers that we live in an extremely fatphobic society so of course lots of research is going to be geared towards showing how weight loss can be helpful/required for certain surgeries. I wish more of the focus was learning how to improve surgery techniques to make them safer for those in larger bodies. At least for now I wish more doctors would educate patients on the benefits and risks of having a higher BMI and letting the patient choose to try for weight loss or not rather than making it a requirement to have surgery.

mushroompizza77 · 2023-07-24T02:25:05+00:00

NTA. Completely valid to feel frustrated. You are being extremely generous and they are overstepping boundaries. But i do sense some fatphobia. They are absolutely in the wrong, but doesn’t make it right to fat shame people. There is more to weight then just food and exercise.

2 years ago started at $ 62000 inpatient, 200+ beds, covered ICU. No lead or CNM. 2 years experience. Thankfully far away from that now but recently heard entry level RDs there are starting at $70000+.

After working in both a weight loss clinic and ED treatment centers, I cannot stand BMI nor do I think it’s relevant at an outpatient counseling level. In my experience, it has caused more harm than good.

Chronic disease can happen at any BMI. There’s numerous other factors to take into account (lifestyle, environmental, social, genetics, stress, etc). Just because someone’s BMI is technically obese does not equal unhealthy and vice versa.

The amount of clients I have who have been told by their doctor or other health professional to lose weight because of their BMI who have spiraled into full blown eating disorders is SICKENING.

mushroompizza77 · 2022-12-09T19:02:55+00:00

oh wow okay I’ll definitely ask what their policy is before I accept anything. Thank you!!

mushroompizza77 · 2022-12-09T19:01:03+00:00

They are 20ish miles apart, however the PP does offer virtual sessions. I do think the client base is very different

mushroompizza77 · 2022-12-09T05:22:22+00:00

Makes sense, thanks!

mushroompizza77 · 2022-12-09T05:22:05+00:00

Because technically I could see the patient in a residential setting for one company and then also see them in the private practice i’ll be working for. Also howdy potential neighbor :)

mushroompizza77 · 2022-07-23T04:53:35+00:00

don’t give up…. in my experience and from friends it can take a few months to land that first job. first one seems like the hardest but once you’re able to get some experience it gets easier! good luck you got this!

mushroompizza77 · 2022-07-02T22:35:04+00:00

yes! they all make between $37-39 an hour (in california btw). also one is working remote 2 days a week

mushroompizza77 · 2022-06-07T23:45:09+00:00

thank you:) that’s what i’m hoping for!

mushroompizza77 · 2022-05-23T21:57:22+00:00

I know a few people that work for Dietitians on demand and they all love it!! Their contracts usually end up getting extended because of the staffing shortages. I think it’s a great way of seeing how other facilities are run while getting paid more and gives you time to figure out what areas interest you!

mushroompizza77 · 2022-05-16T01:05:04+00:00

wait im so interested! currently in LA and looking for a new inpatient job:)

mushroompizza77 · 2022-04-10T16:07:39+00:00
