  10. Looking for a good protien mix i usually can't drink these they make me gag but i recently tried the shakology chocolate by its self n again it was gross but she told me to had half a banana and tsp peanut butter wow what a difference n it's soo ooo yummy and very satisfying but shakology is very very pricy . So I'm looking for a chocolate protien powder that's weightloss friendly thanks.. (((I'll add I know we're suppose to be off shakes after awhile but I'm having some issues I'm way to tight I cany get a referral to see a band specialist I won't bore u with all the hairy details this is just my only option right now)))

  12. That's what I told him but he said my results say everything is flowing fine. N I told him of course the barium is gonna go down fine it's liquid.. iv been really arguing with this guy n he won't give me a referral yet so I'm screwed n I can't afford out of pocket and he's the only doctor covered in my plan that I can get to.. but I Def think I need an adjustment

  17. I don't Currently have a surgeon n my primary did a barium swallow n upper gi testing .. he's told me everything is fine even tho I know it's not cause I throw up n get stuck on almost every meal I can't eat meat anymore cause it gets stuck no matter how long I chew it or how slow. He keeps telling me its all in my head.. I measure my food eat throw up than finish. 30min later I'm shaking stomach growing I'm so hungry .. he doesn't wonna give me a referral cause he said all my testing is fine. So he wants to try other methods.. I have state insurance right now n this is the only primary doctor I can get to in network
  18. My doctor wants to try topomax to get some weight off. Iv stopped losing weight n gained quite a bit I'm hungry all the time . So he suggested topomax ..anyone use it with the band n seen results?
