a little discouraged



Recommended Posts

So I went to my second post op visit friday. She lectured me telling me that I only lost 4 lbs since my last appointment. They never weighed me pre-op so she doesn't have it recorded that I lost 17 lbs the first month... she said that 1 lb a week isn't where I should be and that I need to lose 8 lbs by my next appt on 9/9. She said I am not eating enough Proteins. I did correct her and told her that I did lose 17 lbs since the day of my surgery... But she decided not to give me a fill... If I am doing so poorly and she wasn't happy with my progres why would she not give me a fill? I am a lil fustrated... I am not losing anything but I am not overeating... just not sure what is going on or how to step it up...

I think you should consider having another conversation with her and if it is a similar one to the one you had that you should switch drs. It is not acceptable for a doctor to be anything less than encouraging, no matter how much you have lost, unless you are blatantly screwing up (which, considering how recently you had your procedure, I imagine is not the case)

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
