    Love my VitaMix! I've had mine about 15 years and have gotten so much use out of it. It purees ice like it's nothing, too--super smooth smoothies.< /p>

    I say keep showing up to the doctors office, urgent care, and ER for the vomiting and choking. Magnify your complaints don't minimize them. Trust me they will recognize its cheaper to take the damm thing out. Also file an appeal with your insurance company and a medical grievance as well with the medical group you belong too.

    I got lucky. Had gift certifcates from our wedding at sur la table and got a 10% registry discount. Ended up paying $175. I am so impressed with its performance. Endless recipes.....I already love it too!

    Please report her. She knew what she was saying was inappropriate and did it anyway. She should be written up.

    And who wants another " temporary" weight loss tactic? I want a permanent solution. And no thank you, I don't care to be fat again. Been there done that.

    Past 3 days I have been battling nausea and even vomitted twice. Almost 4 weeks post op so I had thought I was getting better. Then I got to pureed diet. Really hard time coming up with meal ideas. Guess my new blender really didn't puree enough and the bits were irritating my baby tummy. So today I bought a Vitamix. Best thing I have ever spent money on. It purees anything even an avocado seed. You can make low carb Peanut Butter with just unsalted peanuts. Its amazing and now the food is going down so much better. Worth every penny. Comes with a very nice cookbook.

    Nursebarbie reacted to HeatherL in If there was a Class Action Lawsuit against the band....   
    Class action lawsuits are different for consumers versus regular lawsuits. You usually just have to sign up for it and then after a while you get a check in the mail if you won the lawsuit. You are not out any money and don't have to do anything but fill out a form. At least that's my experience.

    Nursebarbie got a reaction from NurseGrace in Finding myself again   
    Ever noticed how many of us nurses are on this site? I think we find it easier to take care of other people than ourselves. By the way nursing school sucks and there are plenty of eccentric nurses most either work psych or like I did in the ER. I started out as an Art major switched to nursing as a way to guarantee I could support myself. Making 6 figures a year is wonderful and I actually love what I do. There are so many things you can do besides just bedside nursing. Now I am a case manager. I think I will get into bariatric case management. Just a thought.

    my naturopath is a curvy, big boobed, vital woman whom i love. she smiles, is warm and inviting and sparkles with life. i want to parktake of what she is offering. she says, " i eat like this" and i want to join her. my nut looks like she is starving herself. she seems unhappy and never smiles. she comes across as severe and rigid. never welcomes my questions, acts like any other points of view about nutrition are illegal. its not about her being skinny or too skinny, its about how she treats me.

    Nursebarbie reacted to mistysj in Hate my NUT   
    I know you guys are venting but can't believe you're criticizing your dietitians based on body size. They weigh the right amount because they eat according to their own guidelines. Also carrying extra weight is not going to help them in their careers. "Who should listen to her? She's not even thin." I can just hear it now.

    Been going to the beach every day when I haven't been in 7 years. Only 3 weeks post op but I'm feeling much more confident. And the mall! Wow its like a whole new experience. I go in and out of every store not just lane bryant and bath & body works. So much more enjoyable. Oh and I bought 2 new swimsuits in size 16!
