  1. @jersery_girl_86 I was only doing 2 protein drinks a day, raw veggies ans broth and sugar free jello and sugar free Popsicles. I was starved and I have headaches, light headed and nausea. I called the office and spoke with Barb the nutritionist, who I absolutely love, and she said I was suppose to be doing 3 drinks a day of the protein. So I will keep you posted. I'm going to add you as a friend. BTW, I love Dr. Medvetz and the whole office staff!!!! They have been wonderful!!!!!
