Blah…

It’s Day 8 and I’m feeling…ok, I guess. I’m used to not eating now. I still get hungry but not having food isn’t as distracting as before.

I had my preop appt today. Which was honestly kind of discouraging. My surgeon is kind of a jerk. He’s not warm at all. He has this very direct and harsh tone. It’s a bit off putting. He told me that I would only lose 70lbs after surgery unless I exercise (of course I’m going to exercise…that’s the whole point, I’m trying to get this weight off so exercising feels better). He told me all carbs are bad and that if I ate them post-surgery I wasn’t going to lose any weight.

It was just not the visit I was hoping for.

I know the truth about weight loss. But hearing these things from a doctor without any context or color to what he was saying was a bit disheartening.

One thing is for sure and two things are for certain: I WILL lose more than 70lbs. So, take that Dr. Greene! Watch me work.
