Slow Losers... To the VETS here. Those over a year out.
I am a slow loser for various reason that some of you know about. I was just wondering how do you guys deal with individuals asking you questions about why you have ONLY lost XX amount of weight?
I mean seriously, I might be just a bit "emotional" about this all because I would have LOVED to have been a part of the 100 pounds lost club by now. Seems like every time I drop 10 pounds the doctors find something NEW wrong with me. I feel like I should BAN all doctors except my surgeon and just get the weight off like I know I can. I might ultimately damage my body but I will have the weight off... Right?
Is not that the whole objective of this? Get the weight off so that you will not have to deal with various weight related issues and etc.
Geeze.. Having lost roughly 60 pounds in 1.8 months has brought hell to my life. I now have damaged kidneys... removal of a gallbladder.... and just recently diagnosed with neurothopy. I am still boarderline diabetic but I do not have to take the medication at least. I still have PCOS. I mean come on.... How much more frustrating can it be?
I cannot do a high protein diet because of the kidneys. I cannot take in too many carbs because I will gain weight. So I am ******g off my Primary Care doctor to please my Surgeon OR I am either ******g off my Surgeon to please my PCP.
Either situation... I am ******g off my neurologist cause I am stressed the hell out from trying to figure out which is best. On top of the stress at the job and completing my MBA... If I get stressed out my nerves LITERALLY get bad and I have to take medication for the inflammation and PAIN.
Okay... I am done venting....
Thanks.

My surgeon actually does have a nutritionist that I can go to. He wants me to first get my kidney's checked again by my PCP to ensure that my kidneys are really damaged BECAUSE at the time of the testing of all my blood work.... I was doing ATKINS FOR REAL. I would not go over 25 net carbs for nothing. I was like in week 3 of doing the plan. So he made me stop doing that until I get tested again. THEN I go back to him.

You probably know that the word "only" makes me twitch with apoplecty.
It's very simple: you really don't owe ANYONE who would ask that an answer. You may want to ask, "What would make you ask a question like that anyway? Have I not lost enough weight for YOU?
As for this:
So I am ******g off my Primary Care doctor to please my Surgeon OR I am either ******g off my Surgeon to please my PCP.
they BOTH work for you. Remind them of that fact, if you need to. They BOTH need to work TOGETHER to find a way to make YOU happy.
And as for stress, it will never go away. As the saying goes, "if it's not ONE thing, it's another." You need a stress reliever. Maybe you could just slap the crap out of all three of those docs . . .
Banded 10 years & maintaining my weight loss!! Any questions, message me.

I am one of those people that have the LOOK of "Kiss my ENTIRE a$$". Majority of the time I look calm and cool but in my head.... I have told them to kiss it or cursed them or whooped they a$$ in about 45 different ways.
Just evil...
