Wondering if I'm tight enough or should get a little more. I have 7 cc and it has been 2 months from the fill from hell and bruised so bad I've barely recovered, so I'm not fill scared! I have lost 10 pounds since, but wonder if it is time for more Fluid. I am really tight in morning and can't eat much, lunch I can eat pretty good and at night I'm kinda tight, I get the hiccups and my left shoulder hurts when I eat to tight and too fast. That nerve is very sensitive. I'm I'm almost 7 months out and down 50 pounds. Any ideas would be great!!

My office says signs that you need a fill are as follows:

1) Losing less than 1-2 pounds a week. You are losing within range so you sound good there.

2) Feeling physically hungry between meals (or less than four hours after eating).

3) Eating too much during meals. It sounds like you might be OK there as well since you feel tight.

It really doesnt sound like you need a fill. However, if you do get one, it should be very, very tiny.

Being too tight is not only unpleasant, it actually causes some people to gain because they start eating easier foods that may not be as healthy or might have too many calories.

I think Jack is right. You don't really seem like you need a fill. Just like most of us you want to lose it all now. But 10 pounds over the last two months is great, better than great when you consider the holidays. I'd hold off on a fill and just look for a great dress for May . Don't buy it yet unless you buy a smaller size. Good luck.

      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.
