Soooooooooooooo Happy!!

Dec 17, 2008

So I saw my local Dr. today to do some pre-op stuff and I got weighed; since I saw Dr.L on December the 5th. I have lost 16.5 lbs on my pre-op Diet!! Yay!  I am soooooooo happy about that because I wasn't sure how much weight I would be able to lose.. even though I am super strict on my diet I don't feel hungry all the time so I felt like I was doing bad (I am used to starving on diets) But yesterday was a bad day for cravings though, and in a weak moment I ate 10 baked french fries off my Bf's plate  But after being weighted today I am back on track and very motivated because now I know that what I was doing is working! I must admit I was not so happy about my Dr. though, he is new for me since I recently re-located and even though he filled in the papers for my OHIP approval ha seems to be against weight loss surgery, and he is not the friendliest man either. I tend to be a bit on edge since most of my experiences with Doctors are not the fondest of memories, I find that obese patients are treated very differently then the average person, and it seems that this Dr. is not so fond of larger patients either. As well his reaction to some of the tests that Dr. L wants me to have was not so positive. I must say that if I were a Dr. I would be Happy that the surgeon requires so much pre-testing, this shows that he wants to be fully prepared about what he can expect during the surgery. I wish I could find a new family Dr. but in Chapleau there are very few options, my only hope is that once I have had the surgery he will be more attentive and actually care about me as a patient of his, right now I feel like I am just a number to him. On a side not I was also a bit miffed because he wasn't even happy for me that I have lost 16.5 lbs I know my last family Dr. would have been so proud of me and all my hard work. Well at least I am proued of how I am doing and I still know that I am making the right choice for me!!
