Surgeon Testimonial

Mark Smolik
I was very impressed with Dr. Smolick. I found him very informative and not rushed. I was not so impressed with his punctuality. However I am 90% positive that he was dealing with some sort of complication that day. I was so nervous about talking to him that I forgot to write down questions and didnt ask him anything. So now I have no idea what a good goal weight would be or anything of that nature.rn

My appointment
posted on 6/21/07 4:59 pm
Hello Readers

I went to my appointment on the 20th. I weigh 273..thats 34 pounds lost off of my body. I couldnt believe it when Tracy said that. I admitted that I cheated to the dr. smolick. He just looked at me without judging and said "You've really got to beat this addiction now!" He gave me encouragement to not quit. I do have a addiction. It wasnt how much I ate before it was what I ate. I fixed the problem of how much, and now I have to fix all by myself what I eat. I am seriously considering looking into an addiction therapist. 

Dr. Smolick also told me to hit the gym more times during the week. According to him I am right where I need to be as far as weight loss goes. I really am trying. I eat once a day...but have trouble with the snacking. I take a little cheaters bite. Recently I have been getting in water. Two 20 ounce bottles at work. Today I didnt but I still have enough time to get that done.

A big thanks goes out to Dyno...for her encouraging words that I recived today. SHe is an awesome girl. 

Anyway I'm off to see the wizard.....

Amanda
