As I enter week 4 of being sleeved I am really feeling good. I ate a small piece of baked chicken breast, about the size of a post-it note and I felt as though I just left an all you can eat buffet. I did not have any problems with it either. I was relieved. I had been experiencing acid indigestion real bad especially at night and in bed. Dr. Ortiz recommended 40 mg Prilosec for 1 month. I had relief the first day I took it. He said once my stomach stretches a little the indigestion will be relieved.

Week 3 is here already and I am starting to fell like myself. Still tired, but getting better. I've started the "pureed" part of my diet this week and am glad to have food with taste.

I am on a liquid diet including protein shakes for the rest of the week. Not so bad because I am not hungry. I did experience some heartburn and acid indigestions last week. My doctor recommended using Omeprazole and it has worked. I hope all my other sleevers are doing as well.

Everything went as planned. Every step described by a Lighter me was exactly as they said. No surprises which is really good when your in a foreign country. I am back home now, drinking protein shakes and clear liquids. To be honest I am not hungry. I highly recommend using this company and going through Janese. We had a personal driver the whole time, Abraham and he was a hoot. Being the first person you meet from a lighter me, he puts you at ease and answers all your questions and tells you exactly
