I am trying to stay motivated but...

It seems like it is one thing after another.

I went and seen my Doctor's assistant to get my referral and start my 6 month supervised diet on the 21st of January. My appt with the surgeon was on the 31st. I had to call, and then go in just to make sure he sent it because he had been gone. If I hadn't of gone in, I would of had to reschedule. So that was the first hiccup.

I had labs done at the hospital, and ended up sitting there for 2 hours, because they didn't mark I also needed the ekg and chest xray. Yay.

Then my PCP wanted labs, even though I already had them done elsewhere. I went to the appt that they scheduled, and my Doctor's assistant forgot to order the labs, so I went there for nothing and even though I tried to explain to them I had them done, I had to go back the next week and do them anyways.

Then yesterday, I went to my 1 month checkup on the supervised diet and I seen my doctor's assistant again. As soon as I handed him the form, he said he couldn't do that, I had to see the doctor. Ok, I asked him my first go around if he could do it, and he said yes. I asked him if that meant this month didn't count, and he said it should. Ok, so I seen the doctor today.

Guess what...he isn't going to count the previous month. Even though I gave up soda, cut back on my eating out and junk food, increased my water intake, started exercising, kept a log of all food I ate and exercise I did-still managed to gain a pound-it counts for nothing. So, now I am upset. I had everything planned out, I would have my surgery in the summer so I had more help with my baby. Now if I am lucky it will be at the end of August or early September....

I am just so freaking frustrated by this whole thing

That's so frustrating :/

Hang in there and stay on them. If u were at the doc tell them to fill you form out based on the chart notes for your missing month. Stay strong!!!! (HUGS)
