More work stories. Enjoy :)

1.

- Me: "So what do you feel is the obstacle is the way of you achieving your goal weight?"

Guy: " It's not me, its hereditary. I have bad genes."

Me: "Ok. Why don't you give me a 24 hour recall of what you ate yesterday."

Guy: "Breakfast: 2 roast beef sandwiches from Arby's

Lunch: Taco Bell tacos, a burrito, and fries

Dinner: a BLT with fries. "

2.

- "I'm trying to eat healthier. For instance, yesterday I went to Subway and got a BLT and asked them to put extra Ranch instead of Mayo on it."

3.

- "I value my happiness by eating McDonald's everyday over looking good."

4.

- One client told me he drank 11 diet cokes a day!!!

5.

- A few weeks ago we had a client come in that was just crazy. She had a BMI of 33, therefore did not qualify for the lap band. She threw a fit and yelled at the entire staff for about 30 minutes with the Dr. finally having to kick her out of the office. She called the front office the next day and asked that she never see that, "70 pound blonde again" and that the company should consider hiring more overweight dietitians because it offended her.

A few success stories:

1.

- One of my patients who got the lap band 5 months ago, has dropped his blood sugar levels from 300 to 117!

2.

- One patient's insurance company required him to see me for 6 months before he could be approved for the lap band. He has lost 55 pounds already (in 5 months) just by eating healthier and walking!! Here is the email he sent me yesterday....
