Guest guest Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Yesterday I went to WIC I signed up because I had ot close my store and we are going on one income now. SO they are harping on me because I have lost 5 lbs now I explained to 2 of their nutritionists WHY I am loosing weight one of them didn't even know what Gastric Bypass surgery was. The pushy one wanted me to start a HIGH FAT DIET And to Drink a Milk Shake from Sonic every night!!!!! They are crazy the other one (the good one) told me she was not going to worry since I am seeing basically 3 Dr's through this and to do what they say. The PUSHY ONE didn't believe half of what I was saying. She then asked me if I was going to breast feed ( and do not get me wrong I admire women who do it, I think it is Fantastic if you feel comfortable and are able to do it Great!) I have never felt comfortable with it . I was young when I had my Girls I also have Fibercystic breast disease and I was scared of pain basically pretty wimpy I know, and this time I actually thought about doing it but I am also an easy scare If I think in any way the baby may suffer a deficency It scared me so I explained POSSIBLE problems that may accur for WLS patients who nurse like b-12 deficiencies for the baby SHE THOUGHT I WAS LIEING!!!!!!!!!!!! She said she never heard of such a thing ( well she never heard of Gastric bypass surgery either) she wanted to know where I got my information and I told her the internet and she said she was going to look it up her self and let me know Next time I come in what she found out. She wanted to know exactly how the Dr's know babies are deficient I said I imagine blood work she said she never knew of any Dr that drew a babies blood I said have you ever known a baby from a WLS patient ?? She just sat there. I wanted to ask her where she got her Education?? And what makes her such an expert?? Just because she is a Nutritionist??? I am only about 7 weeks pregnant I have 7+ Months to make up my mind if I want to breastfeed I know it is WIC's Mission to get women to do this but come on BULLY TACTICS?????????? Then to top it off My Secret Pregnancy was revealed MY soon to be Brother in Laws best friends wife walks in and said what are you doing here I almost said Picking up WIC for my sister but I had my shoes off ready to get on the scale I told her You never seen me here please do not tell any one. She said she wouldn't But we will soon see !!!! Guess I better tell my Mother before some stranger Congratulates her on being a Grandchild. Sorry to Rant !!!
