I get anywhere from 50-70 proteins a day and lots of water. I've been able to eat more than 1/4 cup at a time. I get hungry about every 2-3 hours especially when I keep my portion to 1/4 cup

I am 6 weeks out and stalled around 3 weeks I am still stalled. I'm glad to see other people go through this but it is still depressing

I had the band placed in 2008 and removed due to severe complications, it literally hate a hole completely through my stomach. I just had RYN 6 weeks ago. My weight loss is,way slower than I ever imagined but doing good

I work in an ER. NG tubes are NOT just for feeding. They are also used to empty the stomach. If someone comes in with suspected overdose or something like that, they will be getting an NG to get the stuff out of their stomach. There are many other Emergency reasons for NGs

I have 23 staples that I am hoping to be removed Thursday. Some of them are irritated and sore to touch, I think they are over ready to come out, so that makes me nervous that its going to hurt. I have had many many surgeries and this is the first time I have had staples.

Nothing. Only thing different was the diet

I was supposed to have Surgery Sept 9 of this year and started the Liver Shrink diet Aug 10. I have stuck with this diet even though the first week was VERY hard. It consist of a Protein shake for Breakfast and lunch, a small fruit and 1 cup yogurt for snack, 6oz meat 1 cup salad greens with 1 tablespoon fat free dressing 1 cup certain veggies and 2 carbs for dinner, and a Protein Shake for an evening snack. I went to get my preop lab work done and then the day before surgery was to happen, it was canceled due to my liver enzymes were too high. Back in June my liver was in perfect shape. Enzymes were fine and ultrasound was fine and now they are very high. I think this could be the diet doing this but my dietitian does not think it is so they want me to continue the diet until I get released from my PCP. They are going to check my enzymes again Monday and if they are down my PCP will give the ok for surgery and surgery will be on the 30th. Has anyone else ever had trouble with the diet causing your enzymes to be high? Thanks for your input Elizabeth
