Guest guest Posted March 9, 2001 Report Share Posted March 9, 2001 Thanks I am trying the calorie diet I found out that with my body weight I should eat 1260 calories a day and for breakfest this morning I had instant oatmeal and a piece of toast with jam and that was only 270 calories. I thought it would be a lot more than that, but the best part was it made me full and I am still not hungry and that was 2 1/2 hours ago which sounds bad but I usually eat all day I hope with eating the right foods and drinking lots of water and exercise things will start to go well for me.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Easier said than done Jim. If one is reliant on Medicare or Medicaid, due to disability or age, one can not change doctors without permission from the man. Sucks. Unfair.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Dang, didn't know Medicaid was involved. Easier said than done Jim. If one is reliant on Medicare or Medicaid, due to disability or age, one can not change doctors without permission from the man. Sucks. Unfair.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 I actually was making that assumption. Most people on disability do not have private insurance. Hope my assumption is wrong and she can switch doctors, but since she mentioned disability, I made that leap. Is switching quacks an option? If so, I'd RUN away from this quack and find a quack who at least has SOME clue. (Good luck...I have come to the conclusion that they are ALL quacks.)
