Hi everyone, I am so thankful I found this site! Tons of information, but I noticed that the balloon forum posts aren't recent. I am hoping to find some current ballooners in the general threads or maybe I can get pointed in the right direction. I am 2.5 weeks in and would love to have some people to talk to about what they are experiencing. No one knows I got the balloon other than my Husband and though he is extremely supportive, I am sure he is tired of hearing me complain and question what I am going through.

I am losing weight, my body shape is changing.... all great things.

BUT I have ZERO energy. I have to sit in the shower. I puke when I brush my teeth. I can barely sleep some nights because my acid reflux is so terrible. And I don't know if I am hungry, because... well, I don't ever feel hungry.

Anyone out there???

The acid reflux sounds terrible! What does your doctor say? Are you taking Prilosec or Nexium it?

I am taking Prilosec 2x a day. I have my first follow up on Monday, so I plan to ask about it. It isn't constant, but when it is here it is beyond terrible. Lot's of burping... which is so very lovely.

there may just be a handful of people on here who've had that since it's not a common surgery. Hopefully one of them will see this and respond...

      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.
