i also thought you were talking about the "downstairs" LOL!! I have asked that question but NO ONE WILL ANSWER ME!!! How does it end up? I mean if your cat is fat and you lose weight, does it hang? Will you need a "cat lift"? They even have a term for it FUPA..just reading up on it myself. Look that up to see things that can help ????

He looks so sweet I have cats but I love dogs too hence the animallover1247. I understand, my cat is attached to me as well, can't even go to the bathroom without him following me! I have to run to the BR if I want peace and when I escape and manage to have a few minutes of private time..I see little white paws trying to open the door. They truly are the best therapy.

Maybe he's going on vacation.

Here's my little guy..I will say it will be difficult to keep him away. He's usually glued to me lol

I have the same concern with my dog.. He is literally a lap dog.. My lap, my chest, my shoulder basically anything he can sit on. This is gong to be fun

@ If I take 95 to Whitemarsh it takes me right at 30 mins but taking 40 it's an hour at least

Hey there! You can do it! I was able to get my appointments pretty quick.

hey MD girls!! I'm going through Franklin Square. I live in Cecil

The carbs seems kinda high.

2 weeks of full liquids pre surgery 2-3 days of clear liquids post surgery 2 weeks full liquid 2 weeks puréed food 2 weeks soft food Is mine

Your visit isn't too far off so you won't gain enough to get you BMI to 40 by then. Do your research on your benefits. Call multiple times and ask the same questions. Oddly not everyone will tell you everything you need to know. Your surgical team should also know how to work the insurance game. Ask the coordinator if they know what you need to do/be to qualify. Good luck

Most record release guidelines/charges are state specific. What state do you live in?

I'm on month 5 of a 7 month monitored pre-op diet. I'll be on a 2 week full liquid diet prior to surgery. This is all required as part of my surgeons program.

My doctor has a no driving for two weeks restriction. I am having a hernia repair as well. So I'm thinking the 2 weeks for sure. Not to mention everything we have to get used to. The 3 food stages can be difficult if you don't have access to a kitchen.

If you like peanut butter try adding pb2 to your shakes

Are you allergic to Soy or Whey? It sounds like a intolerance to something. You may want to ask your nut or Doctor what they recommend to the patients with allergies.

Indeed..still dreading it though

I found out Tuesday that my liquid diet includes yogurt and cream soups. (Without fruit and bits of meats)

You could always set them in a new setting all together. I have a couple of rings that I want to do that with. A jewelry store should have a designer or know one to direct you to.

What are your liquid diet foods? I was glad to hear that mine includes creamed soups and yogurt. Interested to see what others are allowed.

It is a lot..my process is 7-8 months. I'm in month 5. I have 2 more months before its submitted..then wait

My previous doctor wouldn't clear me so I too found a new doctor.

My doctors office says a month from when I attend my last class till surgery. My last class is Dec 1st so I'm looking at 2 week of January.
