I had the same thing happen to me. I went back to the doctor after a week on liquids, begging to eat. He let me graduate to the soft foods stage. I lost 13 pounds the first week. I have only been filled one time, and I have lost 30 pounds in 3 months. I eat only chicken, and about half of what I use too. I now need my gallbladder out which appears to happen to alot of patients.
