And good luck with your surgery! Best thing I've done!

This may blow some people's minds...

The laws of thermodynamics do not indicate causality.

As a 334 lb man I would not lose weight on 2000 cal per day. The formulas indicate this cannot be the case, however, reality tells you otherwise. The Dr is assuming things that are not necessarily proven.

The Doc is a tool. Find a new one.

I think you should go onto yelp.com, Google, yahoo.com etc (as many websites as you can find, especially medical) and write up a review about him. I always search to read what people say about doctors, among other places.

Maybe the word will get back to him. Maybe he'll lose business and check himself. In the end you'll get a chance to vent constructively.

That sucks... your surgeon is a total DB! The thing about a good surgeon is..., I love to see my doc because he is always so positive and excited for me! It makes me want to do oore, exercise longer, etc because I know when I see him he will just be so thrilled! I wish you lived in CO so you could see my guy! Everyone is different and a good surgeon KNOWS that! You can fire him and hire a new doc! Another doc will see you no problem and they probably know what kind of a jerk he is. Its a small community! You are doing great! Keep up the hard work!!

I feel like you posted my story. I was sleeved in June of 2012 and I lost about 70 lbs and 4 sizes. 22 to 14. But then everything stopped about 9 months ago. My doctor was also very disappointed in me. I work out for at least 1 hour a day 3-4 times a week, weights and cardio. I was on Diabetic meds prior to surgery and now don't take anything - But I still a diabetic. I found myself wanting to faint constantly because my sugar would drop. My regular doctor said I had to increase my calorie intake to 1200. So now here I am. I would love to lose 50 more lbs but have tried every freaking variation. I too quit my doctor and nut! Any help from you guys would be so welcome.

Hang in there! YOUR journey had just begun. I would still do it again!
