Hey all, I really need some advice. I had my first and only fill on may 6th and now 3 weeks later I feel very tight and uncomfortable. It had been about 4 days feeling this week. Is it common to have a delayed reaction like this? I had been feeling wonderful before hand. I am also extreamly constipated (tmi I know, but trying to figure this out), could the Constipation be making me feel tight? please any any all thoughts and advice is MUCH appreciated.

thanks in advance,

amy

It takes me about 2-3 weeks to feel the effects of my fills. And once i was too tight and had a slight unfill. That could be happening to you too. call your doctor as a precaution. Are you getting stuck??

not so much stuck, I just can feel everything going down and then it just sits there for a while. It is very uncomfortable. even liquid just sits for a bit. grrrrrr very annoying!!

I had my first fill 5 weeks ago, and also felt it "take hold" at about 3 weeks. I have to be sure I chew (something I really have to work on) well. I also have to watch and for signs of being satisfied and am finding that the amount I can eat at one meal, may be too much the next meal (varying by a couple of ounces). If you are having any questions you should talk with your doctor's office and see what they suggest.

      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...

        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.
