  1. Ive heard that the carbonation stretches the stomach. Im afraid of ruining all that ive worked so hard for.
  2. Am I trying to much solids too soon? And if thats the case will solids ever go down easier and if so what makes them go fown easier? I was 3 weeks out on Monday so surely swelling is still not an issue?
  3. I feel like im swallowing golf balls. Is that normal? My bp is low and pulse runs low and at times it runs high. Wth?
  4. Diana, hazlesmrf has tried so hard to explain but you continue to sound off very arrogantly. I really think shes right in directing you to obesityhelp. Im pretty certain that you will find something there. But can I add that your approach is not the nicest and may not be welcome there either if you continue to have such a know it all attitude. Good luck. Really.
  5. Its awful isnt it?!! =-O
  6. Thank you so much! Where do you purchase your protien powder?
  7. Ive been trying out different brands of protien shakes to see which I like prior to my upcoming surgery. I have yet to find one that I like or can tolerate. I tried muscle milk yesterday and I kid you not, it left a nasty awful after taste all day until bed time!!! Anyone with a good reciepe book that you could recomed to make my own? I did order the unjury chicken broth and Wow is it good! So I ordered the chocolate shake and its due to arrive today. I hope its good! Sure would appreciate any ideas. Im thinking of getting the magic bullet as well. Anyone have one and like it or dislike it? Or did it just collect dust and not get used enough to condone having bought it???
  8. If you really want to watch some great videos on u tube watch the ones posted by kansas girl. She has been wonderful to video her progress for those of us using Dr. Ponce. Also type in Dr. Ponce and there is another girl who was so nice to actually start her video from the moment she got in the medical van from the airport. Its really cool!!! I think its Vsgbeauty
