ibtrouble its ok im not gonna say dont worry about it as i know you have already hear that. i to feel like you at times. but, i have to keep reminding myself that im in it for the long haul. look at it like this we were just born right babies dont come out the womb running we have to learn that. we are in the learning phase you will be running in due time. maybe you can call your dr and let them know your concerns. but, my dr told me some times the fill takes time to kick in. not sure when you got your fill or any thing but, maybe you need more or a fill. your in my prayers:smile:

well thanks for responding any ways rose.

Well China I wish I could help with that questions but I had surgery years ago and those parts are gone! Glad you are all doing well. What is going on with this site. I am no longer getting email notifications? Anyone else having the same problem.
I need a reality check...I am getting depressed because the pounds are not coming off as I expected. I only have 2cc in my Realize band, and don't have much restriction AT ALL yet...but I am feeling very blue because I can't seem to break that 20 lbs point. It has been almost 6 weeks...should I just chill out and work my band? am I wanting too much? my clothes are a little loose and my family says they can tell in my face some, but I am REALLY down today...can someone throw me a few encouraging words?:rolleyes:
I totally understand how you feel. My doctor tells me that we are right on track 1-2 lbs per week. He said that we wont get to our sweet spot until we have about 6 - 7 cc in our band. I know its hard when you see everyone else loosing so much more than us. Hang in there at least its coming off.

Glad to see everyone doing so well. You also have to make sure you eat around 1200 calories. If you eat to little, you wont lose weight. China, I had to opposite happen. Mine lighten up a lot. But I also know I am getting close to change of life. One of the reasons I did this was I was bleeding so bad before. My Gyn said loose some weight it will help. Thank goodness it is Friday. I didn't get enought sleep last night and am tired today but have been on the run. Too many people are out at work today so we have been trying to double up on busses. So I ran late all morning but managed to get to my Water aerobics class. Have a great day all. Laurel:thumbup:

China, The big difference I notice since the band is I feel full. I haven't pushed myself with food. So I haven't felt full. I have been able to stop with just by portion controling. I like this feeling, I have been worried about when I get over stressed. My time to overeat. I think the excercising is helping with dealing with stress too. Laurel

China I am so sorry to hear that you are sick....I got sick about 3 weeks after surgery and it was not fun....especially the coughing. Just drink alot of liquids and try and get as much rest as you can.

Oh yes I have gotten stuck a few times.....its not pleasant. But my doctor told me to have pineapple juice on hand and if I get stuck to take a small sip and it helps. IT WORKS. Well get well and take care.

Everyone have a great week.

Sorry to hear your not feeling well China. Thank goodness I got 2 good colds before surgery. I also got a flu shot this year being I am around so many children. I stayed up late to watch the superbowl game. So today I am tired. When you get up at 5am anything after 9pm is late and of course I am on the east coast. Have a great day everyone.

      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.
