My New Beginning

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.

Hi Renee...

Thanks for sharing ur wonderful story.. U described myself in your story.. The only difference being that i am much younger ie, 26 yrs.. I am not yet sleeved.. But ready to go for it in November.. I am in the same weight category as u were once in ur life..ie, 305lbs.. I just hope this WLS works for me and i will be able to live a longer and healthier life with my family..Pls put up ur accomplishments as these are a great motivator for "to be sleeved" people like us..

Thanks

Roja

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!
