Hi all,
I went to see my Dr this morning ~ I had an MRI scan on 21st Dec as I have a very painful knee. Basically, my Dr told me to lose weight and it would ease up back in the summer. I have now lost over 4 and a half stones and it's still painful so am awaiting the results.
Anyhow, the same Dr has just weighed me and said " I think you're losing too much ~ you need to slow down".
It feels as though he has only just realised I have been seriously committed to losing weight and, even though he signed me onto LL, he didn't really take much notice until he has noticed the big losses every time he sees me.
I told him I am still not at a healthy BMI for my height...he asked what I was aiming for????? I said it's between 18 and 25 isn't it? He then said, ok, when you get to 25 that's it, you need to stop.
I feel a bit put out as I can't do right for wrong! I am a size 14 now and don't know where I will feel comfortable at, but my Dr actually said to me " If you lose any more, you could start going the other way"! As though I am getting obsessive or swaying towards unhealthy habits.
What do I do if he refuses to sign my ongoing forms or takes me off before I am ready? ( I have to have my blood pressure checked at the surgery as I have ongoing medication). I have worked so hard and didn't expect my GP to um and ahh about LL.
Thanks.
