The doctor did the fill in thru xrays..He put one cc gave me a white liquid to drink went down fine then he put another cc and gave some more white liquid went down fine... hopefully is not that im too tight the needle in my stomach wasnt pleasant LOL...Thank u so much for replying

i was having the same issue, nauseous, wanting to throw up and only slime will come up, waking up wanting to throw up and nothing! I called the doctor he asked what meds I was taking and I had just started the pill 3 weeks before he told me to stop to see how I felt and at the second day I was feeling so much better so I stop taking it completely. Good luck

thank you ladies

Jello, sugar free pudding, blend your Soups, and my favorite Protein shake is EAS advantage! Also make smoothies with plain Greek yogurt light soy milk, and protein power with some frozen berries! Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

I tried sooooo many and the only one I like is EAS advantage! I tried muscle milk, unjury, ensure was good too but the carbs and sugar on that are high, pure Protein, fort fortress, Atkins is okay not enough protein for me! The first week I was miserable the smell of protein shakes made me gag! On a moment of desperation I made my own smoothie used light soy milk, plain Greek yogurt, frozen berries and haf a scoop of vanilla protein powder!! Good luck Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

I has surgery with Aetna and all I need was to list all the diets and whatever else I had done to loose weight and for how long I did it and how many pounds I lost and gained back and a letter from my primary doctor saying the same thing and her recommendation for me to having the surgery done!
