They keep me on the knife edge of dehydration with large diuretic doses for my heart failure, and something like diarrhea or being out in the sun for too long pushes me over the edge. First trip to the ER in eight years for dehydration. The IV fluids put 9.4 pounds of added water weight on me during my stay, which is over a gallon extra water that I'm carrying.

The eggplant rollatini was actually on-par with every restaurant in our area. It was kind of small, and I wish that they would let me have two. The Culinary Institute of America is nearby, and we have their graduates working everywhere. I wouldn't be surprised if the hospital didn't have one of their chefs working patient meals, because the lunch/dinners were excellent and not frozen/canned industrial swill.
I was using Mounjaro for diabetes, not weight loss. Other than the involuntary purgings pre-hospital, I didn't lose an ounce of weight from it.
When the hospital's doctor was going over my discharge paperwork, they said that nothing was changing in any of my other medications other than stopping the Mounjaro. No problem, doc!
I joked with my wife that I still have a two month supply sitting in the refrigerator, and should sell it on a street corner to cover my $750 hospital co-pay.....
