A Pilot Study of a Food is Medicine Intervention to Improve Pregnancy

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a Food is Medicine intervention when started during the first trimester of pregnancy. The eating pattern we are testing in this study is a Mediterranean-style dietary pattern adapted for the southern United States - thus, we call the program "Med-South." All who take part will receive Med-South dietary counseling. In addition, to help participants follow a Med-style dietary pattern, one group of study participants will receive extra virgin olive oil and nuts. The other group will receive extra virgin olive oil, nuts, and frozen meals (medically tailored meals) that align with the Med-South dietary pattern. Participants will be assigned at random (like flipping a coin) to one of these groups.

Early Patient Removal of Urinary Catheters after Urogynecologic Surgery

Some patients are not able to urinate on their own right after surgery for pelvic organ prolapse so they have to go home with a catheter in their bladders. We want to know if it is safe and effective for them to remove their catheters the day after surgery instead of three days after surgery. If this is effective, they might have lower risk of bladder infection and higher satisfaction after surgery.
