Guest guest Posted April 12, 2000 Report Share Posted April 12, 2000 Hi , although I'm average statured, I have a suggestion about what to do to pull the trunk shut if it blows completely open. You should keep one of those bungy cords in your trunk (the long ones with the hooks on both ends). When you open the trunk, just attach the hook end to something on the inside of the trunk lid, like the latch or some inner piece of metal where it won't come off easily. Then just let the trunk open all the way and the bungy cord will dangle down for when you need to pull it back into reach. (Just don't forget to detach it before you slam it!) --- Regards, >Message: 5 > Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2000 11:11:19 -0400 > From: " Dart, " <JDart@...> >Subject: RE: New Used Car Advice > >Michele - > > I too am looking for a new vehicle to fit me at 3' 8 " .

Shake down a thermometer and place it on the bedside table before going to bed. Immediately upon awakening, place the thermometer snugly in the armpit for 10 minutes according to the clock. The normal basal temperature is between 97.8 and 98.1. A temperature below 97.8 indicates the possibility of low thyroid activity. WOMEN: As the temperature varies with the phases of the menstrual cycle, the test should be made on the second or third day on menstruation. Oral temperatures are often misleading because any respiratory infection, including sinusitis, will elevate the mouth temperature while the rest of the body may be normal. Take your temperature and record for seven days. A normal thermometer is just fine. Melodie, California Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 What do you all tell your patients regarding fiber guidelines following gastric bypass surgery? I am assuming they will be unable to consume the standard 25-35g/day guidelines, but I am curious what you all tell your patients to shoot for. Thanks for your input.
