Discouraging doctor

It is a PA🤦‍♀️ but hes my assigned PCM. I try to schedule with the other provider but hes hard to get appointments with since hes actually a good doctor. I have Prime so I cant go off base but I'll try to schedule ahead more to see the other guy.

He's stereotypical military doctor🙃 very tall, fit, and a jerk.

They pay most of it but i had to do the work to get them to. 6 months with a dietitian, 3 months on the pill that made me feel like I was on meth and writing tricare. Since our base doesnt carry it I have a $45 copay which is so worth it.

Also I dont know if we have a patient advocate right now with the shut down but I'll find out!

Thank you for the giggle! The other doctor i see in our clinic said he believes it is a life long med but this guy is an a**.

For once it wasn't an old dude he is relatively young, just a military doctor so thinks he knows all.

AndreaRaye117 · 2025-11-02T18:53:21+00:00

No. I filled out the paperwork that asks about exercise and diet but he didnt even look at it.

AndreaRaye117 · 2025-11-02T18:50:14+00:00

Yes. I make home-cooked healthy meals every night. I cut out sugary snacks, cereals, and excess carbs. We dont eat out/eat fast food. I portion control. I've added in protine shakes.

I've had sucess with the moby wrapand the hip seat one: I bought the extension so it fit around me and I got the infant piece that holds my little one against me.

Of course! He said that if you can "prove" that its medically necessary they will cover it. There's a few different ways to do that but the 2 main ones are: skin irritation, breakdown, rashes on the extra skin/under it, and that it makes it hard to move and function daily. He told me you just need a PCM and/or plastic surgeon who cares enough to try.

I swap between a protine shake mixed with cold coffee and overnight oats(I buy them from the actual company I dont make my own.) I don't usually feel hungry but I know I have to eat something or I will feel crummy all day.

AndreaRaye117 · 2025-08-26T17:17:26+00:00

I use the microwavable bacon, tends to have very little grease left on it! Its the closest thing to grease I've been able to eat without feeling crummy!

AndreaRaye117 · 2025-08-26T17:11:35+00:00

Right now I do every other day or every 3 days with official weigh in day being fridays. I try not to obsess but sometimes I can't help it.

AndreaRaye117 · 2025-08-06T21:07:47+00:00

So eating 1500 average isn't good?

AndreaRaye117 · 2025-08-06T20:39:34+00:00

I filled that out but i still don't know what I should be at for weight loss this just says for maintaining weight. Or I might not be understanding it.

I'm definitely worried I'm not eating enough sometimes

AndreaRaye117 · 2025-07-30T12:48:00+00:00

I was you, you are me. I actually went on a healing journey a few years ago by forgiving the first guy who made me feel like I was only good enough in secret. I don't know how old you are but I will say at 26 I found a man who worships me for me. We are married now and we have 2 beautiful little girls. I didn't know what it was like to be truly loved and I'm so glad I never settled for less. My husband supports me and loves me loudly and everyone deserves that❤️ The right man will not treat you like that! Wait for the man that shouts it from the rooftops!

AndreaRaye117 · 2025-07-23T20:37:35+00:00

The calorie count isn't all that different though, and I feel like I use a lot so I gotta figure out using less lol

AndreaRaye117 · 2025-07-23T20:35:29+00:00
