Little known trick on the conversion...

If you type into google what you need to change (19 stone to pounds) or (87 kg to lbs) and press search and it will do the conversion for you.

Hope you find this useful! I do all the time.

I had very little upset stomach and heartburn at the beginning and still do not get it much even now. I rarely got it before surgery so I guess I am lucky for this. There are some foods that did not agree with me at first but now I can eat them. If at first you try a food and it does not sit right, try it a few weeks or a few months later, it usually gets better. I eat very little bread, feels like it gets stuck and also no real nutrition. I can eat almost all types of meats with no problem, just need to shew extra good. I stay away from spicy foods but I have never really liked a lot spice even before surgery.

Take care and I wish yo all the best!

Renee'

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
