"I can not undersatnd why I am so heavy... I do not eat anything.. so why am I not losing weight?? "
this is the most frequent statement I hear from our pts with BMI over 30..
Of course when challenged to keep a food diary ..we find the calories..often in thier drinks or the ocassional snack of crackers ..or three bowls of ice cream or whatever....
what lines do you hear?
I had to buy a scale that goes up to 400 # as we had several pts I could not weigh on my scale that topped at 350..
I think it is sad
Is this a a sign of our times?
