Folks here have offered some amazing advice that I would echo wholeheartedly. Remember you are doing this surgery for yourself and you shouldn't let anyone, no matter who they are tell you that you aren't good enough or aren't smart enough to know what's best for you.

My program allows anything the size of a pencil eraser or smaller immediately. I think they said to wait on the bigger stuff 8 weeks - but I was taking smaller capsules earlier than that. I'd say it was right around 8 weeks when I felt like I could take something really big without discomfort.

I was told eight weeks in my information. You need to clarify this with the surgeon. He needs to give you an actual answer. I started slowly introducing smaller medicine, smaller than a regular m and m, after that time. I’ve not had trouble since but never had problems swallowing pills. I still use chewable vitamins.

I calculate from the date of my first WLS consultation, which is my highest weight (412) and from my day of surgery weight (310). However when I talk about it I generally just talk about the bigger number. The numbers being today 117.5 and 15.5 respectively.

Yummy lunch! And look at your handsome self!!! Great to see you dude!!!
