New to this

Went to the orthopeadic surgeon and I am having carpol tunnel surgery next thursday.   Plus I tore my mediscus again but that surgery is going to wait till it is really bad and I cant walk.   I also have bursitis in my hip so I got a shot.   He pissed me off though.... he said if I lost weight I would stop falling apart so I told him I was trying and what I was doing.   He said my body thinks it is starvings so it is storing the fat instead of losing it.   He said if I eat 1200 calories I need to burn 2400.  Yeah right!!!!!   How do you burn 2400 calories a day????   I have bad knees, back arms, hands and I am almost 55.   He acted like I was not trying very hard.   I just wanted to punch him.  But..... he is to cute to punch.   That is the only thing good about going to him is I get to see cutie pants.   loll
