Thanks you guys. The stress test guys just called my dad to make an appointment so he's in good shape there.

He's at work until 10 tonight and it's bothering him so I told him to go and get a Gatorade and drink it to see if that helped. The electrolyte thing really makes sense to me. I couldn't tell him to go and buy cal/mag because he's a little uncertain when it comes to buying supplements and would probably want my help. I'm going to be with him tomorrow and Friday, so I'll make sure his a$$ gets right back on the low carb wagon.

I was interested to see the information about GERD. My dad takes Xantac, which I forgot to mention. Heartburn was a way of life for him before he started taking it. Now I'm wondering if the Xantac is causing his slow loss...hmmm, time to google.

Thanks for the compliments about the avatar. I use it to put pressure on myself when I don't feel like exercising...

Thanks so much everyone.

Peace, Dig
