  19. Give your adjustment 2 week to get the full effect keep going to your dr every 30 days so that he can get you were you need to be dont push getting fills to fast together because you will get an overfill and then you will very unhappy eat NO SUGAR OR BREAD make sure you have 70 gram of Protein a day that will cut your appt and will help you lose weight. I am 6 month from my first adjustment and droped 65 pounds Good luck and hang in there> join the wmca and go5 days a week.

    If you can use a center of excellent doctor. Just do it it be the best thing you ever done for your self.
  23. You will need to find a dr that will work with you on the fills you should not be going every week it takes at least 2 weeks for a adjustment to level out so that you can see if it is a good amount i wouldn't give up on it. It better to be a little lose and exersize than to be too tight and misurable hang in there you can do this you will fell like a new person in a few pounds.
