Yes! Make sure you take it everyday. You could develop and ulcer. I'm supposed to take it twice a day and it tastes terrible. So bad my body involuntary shutters after taking it.

I hope you feel better soon. Congrats on the loss. Why do you have to open your capsule instead of just swallowing the whole capsule?

Ty n Good question. They just told me that's Wat I am suppose to do. I guess because it takes a while for capsule to dissolve n I might digest it before it has time to disolve.

I have been doing great.. I went from 317 to 238.. so I guess I would say that I'm down 79 pounds.. exercise is coming along. We just got an 8 month old puppy so she helps with that walking for sure.. need to start toning.. clothes are super big on me, and my shirts are just hanging off of me.. I feel great though.. Every morning I make sure I get down a 20 oz bottle of water before breakfast, then do the same right before lunch and dinner, that way I know I have all my fluids in... I always eat my protein first so that if I get full I at least know my protein is in... my wife went from 247 to 185.. She's finally in wonderland.. She looks great!! The only foods we can not tolerate is Tuna and milk so far... I sure do miss my milk and cereal... no problems getting our vitamins in... for our calcium we found the chewables were much better. I'm trying to add before and after pic but it's not letting me... Oh btw I am so confused with this new sight. I miss the old one
