UGH!PCP really made me upset...

May 16, 2005

I have been researching WLS for over 3 yrs. and except for an insurance exclusion I am going to have it done. My PCP told me today I just needed to go to see a nutrtionist or get a good calorie counting book. I was so mad. I am a type 1 diabetic of 23 yrs. so I have been on a diet for quite a long time and have seen my share of nutritionist. They always have a way of telling you "ALL" the bad stuf you are doing but give you little information on how to change it. I am having alot of complications start and feel that if I don't do something soon it may be to late. I just get so tired of the lack of knowledge about obesity and living with it. I might add that on a wet day he weighs about 130lbs.! Ok, sorry to vent. God bless, Donna

Yeah...I love nutritionist too...This is what a portion should look like Instead of eating like you have for the last 25 years...Why don't you cut that down into half and you'll start loosing weight....I swear! If I had that kind of control over myself, I wouldn't be in this situation!

I had one tell me that the correct portion would be to order a childs meal. But to loose weight to eat only have of that child's meal. UGH! God bless, Donna
