  1. Your boss can be sued - if your company is eligible file Fmla paperwork - that rationale is ridiculous
  2. We can all talk about the anomalies - I have a friend who got pregnant (full term) at 45 with an ablation - anyone with a merina can monthly check the strings
  3. Check out Fmla at the bank - if your at a large chain they can't give you black out dates - they won't be happy - but they can't
  4. On that recipe I can have the eggs... But that's about it Weight watchers has a cake you make with a prepared mix and a can of soda - but that too will never be on my list
  5. question 1 - do you wake up at night no 2 - do you have leg cramps no what time do you go to sleep 10 wake up 6 do you feel refreshed when you wake yes do you have headaches NO blah blah blah - i answered NOTHING that would indicate I have - he TOLD ME he wouldn’t give me ok to surgery because he would be legally liable. TOLD ME so - no -
  6. I am disappointed because until now I hadn't felt ashamed - he made it clear how important he was in my journey and made sure he told me how disappointed he was that my pcp didn't send me in years ago. He is not important I am He holds the keys to my very near future but not my life I have preached throughout this journey that everything happens for a reason - I just need to listen to my own advice
  7. No cpap for my c section No cpap for my tonsils If anyone gets wheeled into an ER they don't have a cpap This bozo asshats needed to lecture me how important his job is and went on to educate me on how among the list of pre surgery stuff his was the most important Having done research all day - I now know it's about being awake when they pull the intubation tube (I bet as a precaution they do anyway because of my bmi) He said between the lines that he needs to test me because he is responsible if he approves me and I end up having difficulty - That being said - this has been the first Dr in the long list that was a jerk - I suppose the glass half full girl should be greatful Thanks for hearing my vent Amazing people here Dr's who don't get bariatric patients suck
  8. So went to the pulmonolgist - he sucks ass If you most likely have sleep apnea because your overweight - why make me do 2 appointments with those dr’s before sending me in for the dreaded sleep test. it defies logic - the dr isn’t a bariatric dr lectured me about sleep apnea (sure - that’s his expertise) and he couldn’t possibly understand the journey that got me here - nor could he understand how having just ONE MORE COMORBIDITY doesn’t help me - doesn’t make me feel better - it protects him - the surgeon - and the anesthesiologist in the surgery - I’m having a pity party. THIS sleep apnea business is going to delay me - on something I was ready to do 9 months ago - now I have to wait - more time - and wait for someone to give me permission - I HATE BEING AT SOMONE ELSES MERCY sorry - thanks for listening - don’t know if anyone else finds it ridiculous schedule me for the sleep apnea test - no problem - but making me see someone for a pre-test - then see the dr so he can schedule me for the test - well that’s just a waste of everyones time and resources. my dad had a bipass at 49 - i remember it well - he didn’t have a sleep study - I had my knee reconstructed 20 yrs ago - i didn’t have a sleep study - the millions of people that have emergency surgeries daily - they don’t have sleep studies - let’s call a spade a spade- the sleep study is to protect the drs asses - not mine - they would use the same protocol regardless of my comorbities if I had a rush surgery - just makes me angry -- all to cover someones ass ok. i’m not a pretty daisy today.
  9. I love them - I’l buy them from you!
  10. Greek yogurt - they sell a fage 0% I get at costco - cheaper than anywhere else and it’s my go to yogurt
  11. Your up for surgery in 2 days!!!! congrats.
  12. whey is good protein - and easily digestible.
  13. what is your nut telling you?
  14. i had a short interview and a 2 hours computer assisted interview - true and false - only pain is being trapped in front of a computer for 2 hours with mundane questions...
  15. THIS is how you eat at Panera - they have this on a menu behind the counter - you have to ask for it...but I had panera the other day and it’s so much yummier http://mypanera.pane...as-hidden-menu/
  16. and people - Dr’s don’t willy nilly prescribe pain meds - and - the check and balance is the pharmacy - they don’t over fill those scripts either. Listen to NurseTAB
  17. there’s a REASON they give you pain meds and not just ONE pill - it’s not an everlasting gobstopper...although if I could come up with that it would be codine laced in my world.
  18. Crystal light has JUST come out with drops - got them last week at Walmart and they are YUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMY They have a few of the mock cocktails - but my favorite right now is the strawberry lemonade drops on the same note - walmart has a watermellon something sugarfree drink mix (and a grape -mmmmmmmmmmm-) and I’m totally addicted to them
  19. turkey/pork/chicken/eggs/cottage cheese/rocotta cheese...i think that’s my list.
  20. Wouldn’t you rather make it yourself so you know exactly what goes into it?
  21. OMG - the recipes on this site!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!
  22. skinny girl makes an entire line of lower sugar/lower cal mixed drinks
