They are in the ethinic food isle at most food stores, or buy a bag of pinto Beans and cook them up and mash them.

I got a fill and was to tight, so they took all the Fluid out. I need to get back to eating more Protein, less crap.

Hi, I fell off the wagon. I hit the red zone and had to be unfilled and went crazy..now I am trying to get back on the wagon and finding it hard to eat right again. Anyone have any advise?

I am in tucson and used true results. Dr. stevenson did mine at the tempe new day, all the staff is wonderfull. Good Luck!

tucson bandster here!

I cant wait to wear a tight top and have the only bulge be my port, not my rolls or back fat!!

I drove the next day, only took pain meds like 2 days and only at night.

I am waiting for the book too!! No milk will not be a problem for me I dont drink it anyway, can I still have coffee and sf Creamer, without that I may die or beat my patients.

I like skinny cow too, or coffee with sf Creamer pepperment mocha is delish

good for you!

Miralax worked wonders for me!!

bread is no go for me, I can do rice kinda, but like other post I try to get my Protein in first so I usually dont get to the rice.

^{Almost all carbs get stuck for me..and bananas, and shrip}

I go to true results in arizona, they are very nice. I only saw the Dr. twice. The office staff is wonderful and I saw the NP from Dallas last fill she was very kind and efficiant

I just followed the instructions on the bottle dissolve in 4-8oz of Water or beverage of choice, I had no problems with that, plus you can drink it over a period of time

mirolax worked wonders for me

The nurse had trouble the first time she tried for like 45 min. I was black and blue, she thought it slipped, I saw the Dr. the next day he got it no prob. Second fill fine. third took 30-35 minutes tons of brusing. It seems to be better now. The NP said that she has only had issues with 3 people me being one of the lucky ones(yea me). You might just have a trickey port or a not a good nurse. I think my port pyches my NP out now she is afraid of hurting me... But the last 2 times have been smooth sailing...Good luck!!!!

gas x strips were good for me, plus for future referance buy some mirolax powder for the up coming constipation...gross I know just wish I had known sooner.
