Did u do liquids for 2 days? How did they go down? If u can't keep liquids down u are too tight and need an unfill..if u can keep liquids down I would go back to them for another 2 days and then do soft foods and work your wayup to solids...when in doubt call your doc

What I find after each fill is that I need re re-learn how to eat a wee bit. What and how I was able to eat pre-fill is much different than after a fill.

I suggest you first take a look at how much is on the fork and how well you're chewing. My clinic always tells me that the food should be the size of the nail on my pinkie finger. I don"'t always listen and sometimes pay the price.

I will take heed to this note of what size food should be since I got stuck yesterday and I too have 4cc's in my band. "the size of my nail on my pinkie finger", yep from now on...thx

      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.
