  3. Bad feeling after drinking Premier Protein? Does anyone else besides me get a bad feeling after drinking Premier Protein? I love the flavors but I have to lay down for about an hour after I drink one it makes me feel very weak and sick!
  4. Looks good ! I am going to try it but I'm substituting the bacon with turkey bacon which is great! I don't eat pork!
  5. It takes time to heal! I could not even think about washing my hair I was too weak! I went to the salon and got mine done! Sip on your water all through the day and check your vitamins they may not be enough in them! You may have to double them and take it one day at a time your body has gone through a shocking experience! Heal slow! To live long !

  8. Today on my scheduled I could eat a salad so I was so excited because I love salads . I haven't had one since January. So I fixed my 2 ounces of garden salad with a forth of a tomato and put Low fat Ranch dressing on it! I ate it very slowly it took me over 30 minutes to eat 1/2 of it but I don't like the way it's digesting! I feel bloated and am gassy had to take a gas strip and I'm drinking lots of water ! Have any of you all had this feeling after eating a salad?
