Its coming the first 2 days were horrible I had surgery on a Monday and went home on Tuesday with just Lortab took that just that Tuesday and no more meds after that ... I did take Omeprazole 20 mg once a day for 2 months and of course all my Vitamins... And now its a totally different life style (I'm fine with) just learning how to eat, when, slowing down etc etc ... I love my sleeve!

2 week diet 231

Surgery day 221

CW 186

That is awesome before you know it your gonna be skinny mini haha.. ya the 2 week liquid diet is doing ok so far but its the not filling full thing so I think I am having to much tomato lol but the supplements aren't bad I take one chewable tablet multivitamin and then 4 (throughout the day) calcium chewables they are called bariatric support at hi health and really cheap a lot cheaper than buying all the supplements u need separately haha... I was 290 I am now 286 and I hope to get to 160
