Angry So frustrated with Dietician/nutritionist

bit of background information. I am a Kinesiology student and general health nut. One of the requirements for this degree is a good knowledge of nutrition. I recently had surgery that caused me to not be able to handle high fibre fruits and veggies due to things getting blocked in the plumbing. after a few months of pretty much just eating protein and carbs i really missed fruits and veggies, so i decided to go to to nutritionist.

Biggest waste of time ever!

The first one sat down with me and told me about proper portion sizes, then basically threw that canadian food guide at me.

I thought that maybe i had just gotten a bad referral to see this person, so i made an appointment with another nutritionist and explained my problems with the last one in hopes to get some better answers. I was wrong. This next one suggested that I drink V8 and make smoothies. advice that anyone with common sense would put together. To top it all off i asked for some options for iron rich food besides things like red meat. She pulled up google and typed it in there to get answers.

Seriously. Unless your diet is absolute crap and you have no idea on how to change it, do NOT EVER go to see one. /rant
