Getting a bit more aggressive here



Recommended Posts

Well I'm only a week past my last fill but I only had restriction for a few hours. Despite that I've managed to keep motivated and stop eating even when I wasn't full and have managed to lose another 4 pounds. However, I was worried that by the time I got to next week, I would've gained it all back as it became more difficult to 'step away from the plate'.

So I called to see if they could slide me in for another fill and I went in this morning for another .5cc. I'm now at 8.5cc and am hoping 'this is the one'. The one that is permanent and not just due to swelling. Even if it is only permanent, at least I'm sitting solidly at 229 and know I won't be yo-yoing upward again because I have restriction again.

Oh, I did ask how they were able to squeeze me in so quickly and the receptionist said this is pretty typical this time of year. Apparently, people start thinking of all the goodies they're going to miss out on at their Super Bowl parties and they cancel their fills. :)

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
