Did not get a fill :-/

Has this ever happened to ant one?

I went for a fill last week... I have not lost any weight in the past two months

So the doctor told me I was not getting a fill until I lost some weight!

He sent me home and told me to only do mushy food for two weeks and that I had to loose 10lbs

@_@

I was like really??

So now I feel like I'm not going to do this

I was like if I have been in the same weight for two months what makes you think I'm going to lose 10 in two weeks! Pls some one tell me that this is normal ... Now a week later I've gain 1lbs from all the stress of having to lose 10lbs in two weeks :-/

    Do you really want my honest opinion? I'd be looking for a new doctor. That is complete and total BS. Go on mushy food for 2 weeks??? Because being Vitamin deficient is a good way to lose weight?

    to lose weight, one must burn off more calories than they take/eat in..via drink/food....3500 calories is a pound...are you watching/counting calories? are you eating your allotted amount or more? the

and so we are upset' date=' why??

seems to me that w/o that fill that got you upset..you are doing well...so what is the problem?[/quote']

That the doctor told me no more fills until I lost weight ... N wants me to lose 10lbs in two weeks

I guess what got me upset is he made me feel like I was not doing good enough ...

But thank you :) I feel better now!

I'm going to increase my walking to 45min instead of 30min see if that helps a lil w/the scale

Protein not so much but I'm doing less then 1200 a day..

So.....you're doing well, yes? Based on what you're saying, one day you're going to get on the scale & see some pounds dropping off. As Carolinagirl said, sometimes it's inches, before seeing movement on the scale.

I do suggest that you start counting your protein. It's the key to this whole thing, and if you're not getting in a minimum to 60 grams per day, it's not healthy. Also - if a lot of your 1200 calories is carbs, that can also be an issue.

Have you tried the application MyFitnessPal? It tracks both calories and protein, and is an excellent program. You can use it on your phone, computer, iPad......all of it. Here is a link...

You're doing great lady!!! Stay motivated!!! Keep exercising and start tracking your food!!! At least then you can be accountable for what u are eating!!! Protein!! Protein!!! Protein!!! I've lost more inches too!!! Stay motivated u are doing great!!!

Welldone, I did the same ting. I bought a dress, went to wear it a 2nd time and it was so big I could have put 2 of me into it. I felt a little bad, but Salvation Army sure must have been happy!

Your doctor sounds like an asshat. My inner fat girl just got crazy angry. I hate when people say "well go lose weight". Duh you have to try no matter the surgery, but if we could go lose weight without surgery, we wouldn't be here!!!

Thinking this is a no brainer. Time to find a new doctor.

5.9 CC isn't bad, but it seems like most are over 6 before they hit the green zone and stay there.

Definitely worth getting a second opinion.

Really sounds like the doctor doesn't know what he is doing and is a jerk to boot. Ugh.
