Common Questions and Answers about Slim fast and kidneys

Avatar f tn I tried Slim Fast quite some time ago and did not find that it kept me full enough or satisfied enough to continue. My choice was to journal my food intake and hold myself accountable for the food I was ingesting. I monitored calories, although there are many plans that work using other measures (points and carbs). In journaling, I learned proper portion sizes, their nutritional content and studied my emotions. Those things, plus moderate exercise and positive self-talk, led to my success.
Avatar f tn I would not recommend drinking Slim Fast. I love Slim Fast. I have a tub in my desk right now because I used to use it as quick meal replacement when things got busy at work. I haven't touched it since I got pregnant. Too many chemicals in the ingredient list. And it contains aspartame, an artificial sweetner which isn't good for you especially if you're pregnant.

9624973 tn?1413016130 My doctor advised me to maintain a proper hydration before coming in and redo my kidney blood tests since last time it looked like I was dehydrated. My question is, are you supposed to fast (no water no food) before the blood? It doesn't mention this aspect...just to keep hydrated. Are your doctors usually requiring you to fast before the test, or just go as usual ?
655875 tn?1295695107 Slim Fast was getting difficult to stay on track. I found myself cheating on the diet. My friend told me about the protien shake that Dr. Oz uses. There are a few recipes on his website. Right now I am using the Ultimate Breakfast Smoothie. It tastes awesome and it actually keeps me full for over 6 hours. I have zero cravings for food and sweets. I've cut back my dinner portion.
Avatar f tn I have no idea how this will all play out. I did start googling Lyme and Kidneys and found a case study of someone with Lyme with such poor kidney function, the poor person had to go on dialysis for 5 months. They dubbed it "Lyme nephritis." The good news is the patient had an "excellent outcome." I don't know if that means the patient survived, or the patient fully recovered or something in between Hard to know what doctor parlance is.
1328016 tn?1275008941 About two weeks ago I gave the guy I'm seeing oral sex. About two days later I started to have a sore throat and swollen glands. It hurt to swallow, it seemed that i had to much salyva in my mouth and when I talked I didn't sound right. I took medicine for it which did nothing and then thought it might just be allergies. It started to go away and now it is back. I was wondering if it could be cased by giving the guy oral.
Avatar f tn Just wanted to add that I, and a friend of mine, too, upon first trying Slim Fast thought there was magic in the shake, and thought we could eat whatever we wanted and take the shake and it would somehow do the work for you. Heh, well I learned you can't do a meal and a shake and that the secret is that it is about 200 calories per can, and it fills you up with protein, vitamins and minerals, so you don't get hungry.
Avatar m tn You should be concerned and might want to use the day after pill to prevent the sperm from reaching an egg. However, the risk is lowest after the period for many women. Just on the odds it's very slim. A good idea would have been to go to the drug store and purchase spermicide to flush with, probably too late now. I would have her contact her doctor just to be on the safe side as said above asap. She probably can still take a pill to prevent pregnancy.
Avatar f tn I am a 24 year old female. For the past month or so I feel starving all the time. It's the feeling of a gurgling stomach and intense, sickening gnawing hunger pain underneath the gurgling. It makes me immediately start sweating, I get hot and feel that I'll be sick (faint, throw up, etc.) if I don't eat immediately. I run into the kitchen and drink milk and eat oatmeal, peanut butter toast, etc.
1707055 tn?1316144521 First off, there is no healthy way to drop pounds fast. When you lose weight, you want to do it slowly in order to keep the pounds off and have the weight loss last. Second, according to your weight tracker status on your profile, you are already in a healthy weight range, so why are you trying to lose more weight? It's not healthy to go below a certain weight and your body needs many nutrients, especially as a growing teen.
Avatar f tn I have had a Cat scan, blood work, pelvic ultrasound, ultra sound of my kidneys and there is nothing abnormal. I know there is something wrong. I wouldnt have pain, other wise. Sometimes I will get sharp pains after eating and I have to wait a few seconds and then it goes away. Anyone got any thoughts.... I will probably have to find another doctor....
Avatar f tn No, I don't think it will affect kidney stones, but.. Slim fast has horrible ingredients, and I would not feed it to my dog. From their website, they list Hydrogenated soybean oil, High Fructose Corn syrup, etc. Soybean oil will make you fat, and so will high fructose corn syrup.Suffice to say, stay away from Slim Fast! Eat whole foods instead. At best, these drinks may cause rapid weight loss, but they are not healthy and usually the weight comes back later.
Avatar m tn Sleeping with her I have noticed at close quarters that she snores heavily too which seems strange because she is very slim and has no excess weight. She has seen her local GP who referred her to an ENT doctor who confirmed there were no problems with her throat, sinus or soft palette. Strangely enough, my father and aunt both suffer from Sleep Apnea and have done for many years but they are both large bodied.
Avatar f tn so to me it would seem that you had already missed ovulation and your chances of pregnancy would be slim especially if your taking the emergency contraceptive. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn After another round of tests and a visit to my LLMD, he pronounced my kidneys "back to normal." Yay!! He upped my dose of clindamycin and said in a month to switch to doxy. He wanted to wait until we're further into fall weather as I am very fair skinned. First time I will have taken doxy, and it'll be just shy of a year from diagnosis. I feel every dosage increase and new antibiotic I take.
Avatar f tn Thanks for taking my question. I'm 69 female, still working full time, and have lone AF for 4 years. My specialist here in OZ tells me to take a pill(Tambacor)and wait for my heart to 'settle' when I have an attack. I have had a stress echo which was normal, an ultra sound which was normal, I have good blood pressure 130/80, and an angiogram showed my arteries to be normal.
1968463 tn?1374757813 ) in three months and my doctor said that it was due to one of my meds and that a three day juice fast may help me detox my sytem and gain a healthier start. I was just wondering if anyone here has trjed it before. I have read alot about it and it sounds awesome. Everone that I know that has tried it has said they feel so much better...and I want to try it, but I am wondering how it will effect me with all of the meds that I am on. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar n tn I am 47 years old woman, very active and slim (at list before). The past to menstrual cycles (regular), after my period ends, in about four or five days, my breasts start getting sore and specially heavy again. In the same proportion is my belly. I always had this symptoms around a week before my period starts (could deal with this). To add more misery into it, I gained 6 pounds and can not get rid of them. Exercise even more and try to eat very good.

Avatar f tn If I have had kidney stones before and sometimes get back pain where the kidneys are which is a sign of kidney stones, but it goes away, is it safe to drink ionized alkaline water when you have had kidney problems before? Does it detox too fast for my kidneys or is it safe to detox that way?
Avatar f tn Went to the Restroom and when I was done and cleaned myself I saw a clear slim it didn't seem and to touch it was really gooey. What was it? 36+3 , 2cm dilated 80% effaced..

1279364 tn?1280682588 m counting points but I am also chugging back a weight loss shake everyday as part of those points. There is no way I could ever do the Slim-Fast plan or anything like it. I just like the amount of nutrients in the form of chocolate milk i can get! Makes a great difference if I need a boost before working out or just need something to keep me going while I make dinner. ^_^ Anyways, some of them certainly don't taste very good. My favorite so far comes from Wal-Mart.
