Recommended Posts

Just got my 2nd fill today and am feeling super duper tight! Cant drink much takes about an hour to finish 8 oz of fluid....How am I gonna take my medication? I sure hope it's just due to swelling I would hate to be this tight forever...any suggestions?

Give it a couple of days, as long as you can drink and are peeing you can wait. Some ppl say swellling takes 2 days to a week to settle. If you start barfing call for an unfill. Cut your pills up really small or crush them for a few days.

Good luck,

Mimi

Try a hot liquid, it loosens the band a bit. I was having some trouble keeping my meds down first thing in the morning. Now I wait until I have had a cup of coffee to take the pills. It has helped a lot. Also, I agree that you may have swelling that may take a few days to go down.

      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...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        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.
