My families adventure on the road to oz via Germany

Not sure what to do next

As i suspected the dr has taken me off the orlistat claiming they are not working. Despite the fact ive lost another kg this month. My weight loss has always been slow even before i found out about my thyroid.

He has now refered me to a dietician to see what more can be done. I feel so demoralised at the moment. Before christmas i was 92 kg and im now 84kg so my weight is moving in the right direction. The dr reckons i have a sydrome that causes me not to burn carlories (Cant remember the name)  as i should and he is doing further research to see what the solution is.

I asked about the gastric lap bandand he says im not suitable for it as im not a binge eater, nor am i obeses enough. Instead of being being clincally obese he now considers me to be on the border lines of over weight and obese. 

Ah well back to the books

I shouldn't worry too much about what the doctor's saying (easier said than done) at least the weight is going down slowly but surely and it's more likely to stay off that way. If he's looking into different things for you then that's good. Can you take an afternoon off from study and just go an chill somewhere beautiful or have a massage. It doesn't sound like you ever get 'me' time and everyone has to have that just to function.

Take care hon.
