Fed up with my doctor!!!!

[big tom 0]

I cant take any more of my doctor:cursing:..

I went in for a fill today (the one week she is in town out of the last 4 months!) My last feel was in feb and i only lost 32lbs since then but hey its gone for good. I was told to take in a food list of everything i ate for 3 days prior to today and bring it in. I set in my waiting room for 1 1/2 hrs waiting for her then when she does come in she sculding me as she opens the door! Telling me she cant help me if i wont try and so on. My food looked like this.

MON

1 egg, 1/2 piece of sasuage link, and 1 toast.

4 spoons of pb

3 pices baked chicken, yellow squash, mash potatos.

Water, milk

TUES

1/2 of a frozen Pasta meal lean quasine)

taco salad

milk oj unsweet tea

WED

4 spoons of pb

2 eggs, 1 biscuit, friedpotatos

water, milk

I know that the potatos wasent the best choice but a small amount I mean come on! She would only give me 0.5 cc (i had 8cc in a 14cc band) and told me She will only see me agian if I only eat 1 time a day between 12 and 5 pm and I can ONLY have frest fruit and veggies and NOTHING else.

I just dont feel like i get my hundred dollers worth when i go see her! In fact I dont thing i want to see her again. Does any one else have a doc like this? P.S she gave me the most he** over the 1 glass of OJ.

It definitely sounds like you need to find a new dr. I don't see how it can be healthy in any way to only eat once a day, and only fruits and vegtables at that. Did she tell you to have Protein Drinks or supplementss of any kind? Personally, my dr. told me that my body will tell me what it needs. eat when i'm hunrgy, just make sensible choices when i do. ie fresh veggies, nothing fried.

Not only does she not sound sympathetic or caring, she sounds like a bloody idiot.

I'd run far away.

Her diet recommendations leave much to be desired--but so does your eating plan.

Can you ask her for a referral to a nutritionist very experienced with bandsters?

Honestly, to me, it doesn't look like you are eating enough. I agree, you need to find a nutritionist and another dr!

"She will only see me agian if I only eat 1 time a day between 12 and 5 pm and I can ONLY have frest fruit and veggies and NOTHING else."

What?? I can't even imagine how unhealthy that would be for you. If you can change doctors, do it, like yesterday. I'm sorry you're not getting more support and better care from your doctor.

yikes....I hope you can go to another Doctor. You need their support not to get crap from them.

She should be giving you better ideas in a conversation not reprimanding you like a child.

Good luck...I hope you can find better. If I were you I would not step foot back in that office.

Not all Doctors are GOOD Doctors. Sometimes we have to find that out the hard way. It sucks to have to change Doctors but in this case for the sake of your health find a new Doctor.

Good luck to you!

Yeah your doctor sucks. She should be more supportive and definately more available.

Hope you're using skim milk... milk can really pile the calories on!

"She will only see me agian if I only eat 1 time a day between 12 and 5 pm and I can ONLY have frest fruit and veggies and NOTHING else."

EEK! I tried that route BEFORE I got banded. Yeah, it works - it doesn't stay off, and you feel like blankity-blank. Diets like that are why my metabolism's shot and why I had to get the band.

I'm thinking this Dr's a quack.:rolleyes2:

[Band_Groupie 3]

RUN, don't walk to another doctor. She's absolutely nuts (diet), and she's not providing you with a decent level of care (4 months!).

[Cleo's Mom 257]

I changed doctors 7 months after surgery. Among other things, my former doctor gave me the "come to Jesus" talk when I didn't lose any weight after my first fill. I was eating very healthy but he was all about the number on the scale. He was also a general surgeon and inexperienced in bariatric surgery as well as post op care and how the band should work.

Best decision I ever made to change doctors. My new doctor is supportive, experienced and knowledgable.

Find a new doctor ASAP and be sure to get ALL of your test results, including operative report and office visit notes to take to your new doctor.

Good luck.

I totally have to agree with everyone else your Dr is a nut job.

I love my Dr. He is all about how you feel. My weight loss might be slow. But most of the time I feel great and not deprived at all. He is all about eatting like a normal person...With smaller portions. NOT miniture portions. Just smaller. So I can lose the weight with out feeling like I am on a restricted diet. He actualy told me to taste all the candy that comes by...Not to scarff it down like I used to but have a taste. and figure out what I REALLY like...instead of eatting just to eat like I used to do.

I love him he is the best! and believe it or not I lost 15 pounds during Thanksgiving vacation. lol Everyone walking arround moving and playing...and not eatting as much I felt great!

You need a different doctor. You need one that will be supportive and not overly critical or restrictive. My doc does not really care what I eat as long as I am losing. He wants me eating more than what you listed actually. He would not approve of all the PB you are eating.

I would find a different doctor as fast as you can and I would seriously see about an appointment with a nutritionist.

I don't feel you have made bad choices. I feel you have been led down the wrong road. You are not on a life long healthy eating plan. Please try to make these changes soon.

I see a lot of extra calories in just what you are drinking. Good luck
