I was banned 6/26/12, everything has been great except for a few issues. So last Friday I got my last large fill 2cc for a total of 7cc, my doc said from now on 1/2 cc fills. She said I prolly would be super tight with this last fill that I wouldn't be able to get solids down until after noon, from combo of fill and morning tightness. But NO! Total opposite! This is the first time I've felt like I'm starving, my stomach is even making hungry noises. My ankles started swelling and gained 4 to 5 lbs. I called my doc to get a appointment for an early fill and was denied by front desk personnel. so I don't get in to MD for another 8 days. Please help with any suggestions. I feel very heavy, swollen and depressed! Same way I felt before surgery.

Yes that's true, I do the same. But isn't this the place we should feel the support!!?? After all we are all in it for the same goal. Hoping to feel more encouragement, support, and share experiences to get knowledge.

      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.
