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!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
