I have a herd time getting the fluid in, i can eat some now but i really like smashed beans and low fat cheese on top, i have a really hard time wondering if i am eating enough or not, or if i am eating to little or to much , i am so confused on what to eat and what not to eat,i don't even know sometimes, i wonder sometimes what i have done to myself. i am where there are no support groups and no seminars. I would have to drive 3.5 hours to get to them , thank you for listening and please respond, i have posted on obesity help and have not gotten results for days , god bless and thank you joy

  4. I have just signed onto this site and I really need some help, advice whatever anyone can give me. I am 37 and have recently had 8 cardiac procedures and also have had a pacemaker placed in the last year. I have back problems and heel problems. I am at 286 pounds and am 5ft 9 I need some help!! My insurance does not cover this procedure and I need to find out if they have to due to medical necessity. My cardiologist says that it is a medical necessity and so does my general doctor and gyno. Please help if you can with any information..
