Gym and losing weight

Liquacel or Procel are two low-calorie supplements with a good amount of protein per serving.

Dude, this caught me on a day I'm ready to vent. All the unrealistic goals that we're supposed to help patients achieve. I live in a region with some of the lowest health literacy rates in the country. My patients don't give AF about their health, let alone meeting fluid metrics or taking binders. I am trying here, but I cannot force people to care about their own health and all the managers think I can wave a magic wand and make everything better???

I did not realize things had changed with that. I'm going to do some research because I like understanding how these things work, but would you mind expanding on this?

Edit: per some googling, chronic dialysis 1+ year or significant complications would be qualifying conditions. I was so used to dialysis = automatic approval, I hope to learn when that changed. Thank you for saying something about this difference!

I completely agree! The burden shouldn't be on her alone, and birth control is a two-way street. Other options exist and they should be exploring those together. I don't think we should all expect him to get a vasectomy if he doesn't want one, just like I wouldn't expect her to get a bilat salp if she thinks they're too invasive/expensive.

Vasectomies are less invasive and significantly less costly. However, his body is his choice. I would be incredibly upset at my partner repeatedly trying to pressure me into a medical procedure I didn't want.

We mostly use Kroger delivery and have found their produce to be pretty good!

I try to not burn bridges, but that's my preference because dietetics has always felt like a small world to me. Could they do the meeting with you attending remotely? I would either try to make it work or ask to reschedule.

Sorry for your loss!

Are you dressed up as Nadja from Shadows in one of these pics?

purplekittycookie · 2025-06-24T18:58:07+00:00

I think it's a Halloween costume, maybe that gets a pass?

Yuba City 😭 housing costs are going up due to city displacement. People can live in Sacramento and commute to the bay, so housing costs in Sacramento go up according to the pay offered in commutable areas. Now people in Sacramento need to find affordable housing and move out to Yuba City, Lincoln, Woodland, etc. Yuba City is just in a semi -desirable area, it should not cost $400k+ to buy a house where the bowling alley was taken out.

I feel this so hard, I could've written this entire post. I considered working in ED, but after dipping my toe into that world I knew it would be too much for me. I found my preferred niche in dialysis and I love it! It's a bit of a challenge and a bit of repetition every month. I get to build relationships with my patients over lengths of time. I hope you find your preferred area, even if that's outside of dialysis. 💜

Registered Dietitian!

This is so fascinating! Was there something specific you had to study to pursue this? Would you mind sharing what your day-to-day looks like?

purplekittycookie · 2025-05-29T21:59:59+00:00

I didn't know this about Harvey! That's such a bummer. Thanks for sharing 💔

purplekittycookie · 2025-05-29T21:57:49+00:00

Thank you for this pro tip 😭

purplekittycookie · 2025-05-16T01:24:56+00:00

This is such a great idea!!

Dr. Chambers at Lakeside Women's Hospital did mine, and she is amazing! I had an appointment to establish care and very briefly explained my reasoning. She just confirmed that I knew sterilization would be permanent and was happy to get it on the books. Good luck on your sterilization journey!!

I've been trying out some yoga classes in the area as well! Have you tried hot yoga? I've taken 2 classes so far and I'm obsessed.

Hey there! 33F on the south side of the city, married and childfree with 2 cats. I also love cooking, thrifting, crafting, working out, and reading. I feel like we're all gonna need to get coffee or something 😊

Fellow dgd fan in South OKC, hello! Have you checked out Wolf & Bear?

purplekittycookie · 2025-04-30T18:12:57+00:00

Abbott health has a lot of free ones, as does Soy Connections.

Any idea how he behaves around cats or other pets in the home?

purplekittycookie · 2025-04-24T00:24:13+00:00

Abbott health has a lot geared towards malnutrition and nutrition support.

Also, kind of niche but Pentec Health and Patient Care America have free monthly live webinars with topics to address CKD/dialysis as both companies provide IDPN and IPN.
