Ive just got to say, I'm a little disgusted with that office. I was scheduled for my first fill with them May 7. They called and cancelled. They rescheduled me for a month later, June 7th. Called me at noon that day when my apt was at 3... And rescheduled again! July 17th! I'm going to look for someone else!

My doctor said there are two ways to attach the port. The port comes with little prongs that self attach to the muscle. The other way is to suture I directly to the muscle. He said he has seen a lot of flipped ports from MDs that use the prongs? Maybe this is why?

Try these things: Atkins chocolate delight, 1/2 scoop of body fortress chocolate Protein powder, and 1/4 cup of plain Greek yogurt. This is good with vanilla shakes as well. Blend well. If you want something warm and high protein: Lipton cup of Soup cream o chicken. Add a couple tablespoons of taco sauce, add 1/2 cup of fat free Greek yogurt. you can add some Metamucil clear if you need some Fiber. These things saved my life pre and post op diets.

Hi kimicky, Can I ask how long you were on your pre op diet, and was It low carb? I'm a labor and delivery nurse and have worked in ob gyn for 15 years... I've seen a strong correlation between over weight women who make drastic changes on their lifestyles to a low carb diet... Who suddenly become pregnant after years of trying. Had you been diagnosed with pcos? Thanks for appeasing my curiosity. Congrats on your little miracle!

I make a thick cream soup out of Greek yogurt. I Get Lipton cup of soup cream soup powder, a couple of tablespoons of mild taco sauce, half a cup of Greek yogurt, and two to three tablespoons of Benefiber clear. It's low cal, fat free, high fiber, and quashes the urge for Mexican food

I am a labor and delivery nurse. It's to ensure I am physically fit enough that I won't be injured and hit them with a workers comp issue. Md won't write a note, said its fine just don't over do. I'm going to let the evaluator know I just can't an hopefully it won't dq me from the position

Ok... Thanks everyone for your help and support on my last question. I'm feeling much better and no longer worried about a slip! Who would think that three weeks out I would start needing so much new info? I am on day 22 today. (Yay! For me, today means I can eat for the first time. I go straight from shakes to regular diet. But this has nothing to do with my question) I have to take a functional assessment on Tuesday for work. That will put me almost 4 weeks out from surgey. Sit ups are included. I contacted my doc to ask if I should refuse to do the sit ups, because of worry about port attachment. He said just don't over do and I would be the best judge. Can anyone tell me what their doctor told them about abdominal work outs? I thought I remembered somewhere reading 3 months. I anticipate this assessment being " lets see how many sit ups you can do". I will ask the tester what the minimum required is and let him know my concerns and support my port site as best I can. Any other suggestions or information anyone can give?
