Dietician Messed Me Up

fntasa98 · May 16, 2008

I'm going for my final weigh in today and scared I haven't lost enough. I've been working with my dietician for 3 months. Last month, she put me on a diet where I was supposed to consume 14 servings of carbs a day. That's 210 grams of carbs in one day. Well needless to say, it wasn't working!!! So when I visited with the nurse from my doctor's office 2 weeks later, I hadn't lost any weight. When I told her what diet the dietician put me on, she was appauled. I was only supposed to be eating 45 grams of carbs a day and the dietician had me on 210. Needless to say, she changed my diet to 45 grams of carbs a day and 60 grams of Protein a day. That was only 3 weeks ago that my diet was changed and so far, I've only lost 7 pounds. (And that's when I way myself in the morning) When I weigh myself in the evening, my weight is usually 2-3 pounds higher than the morning. My final weigh in with the nurse is today at 2:00 and I'm scared that I won't have good numbers. :w00t::thumbup:

Wish me luck!!!

Oh that must be so frustrating. I wish you lots of luck.

I never weigh myself in the evenings, I know it's going to be heavier than in the morning and not my "true" weight (so I like to think, ha!). If I had to get weighed at the doctor in mid-afternoon I'd think about not eating anything or eating very very light all day until then. And I'd wear my lightest clothes!

Yep! It is frustrating. I feel like I'm trying to make up for 3 months of weight loss in 2 weeks. I agree about eating light. All I've eaten today is a 1/2 of a pickle. 3 more hours until the moment of truth.

So how did it go today?

It went well. Even though I only lost 2.6 pounds according to her scale, I should hear from my insurance company in two weeks and if all goes well, I should have my surgery on June 6th. That was the best part!!! Hopefully I will not have any problems with insurance and can officially be in June bandster. Thanks for your replies and support.

Waiting patiently!
