And I'm down 5 pounds!
Not that I was planning on it, but I have to say, you don't go to Cuba for the food! I lived on Black Beans, bread and Fruits while I was there!! Their coffee is awesome though!!
I was really miserable when I was there. I don't know if you recall my post where I mentioned that I kept burping all the time and we thought it was because I was taking in too much fibre. Well it got a lot worse when I was down in Cuba. I was so uncomfortable, I was nauseated and the pressure in my stomach was unbearable. I almost went through my whole pack of Gravol and Rolaids. I wasn't sleeping because the pressure and discomfort was so bad, I was awake at 4 am walking the floors trying to deal with the discomfort. We got back home on Tuesday night ( actually very early Wednesday morning) and the first thing I when the Doctor's office opened was make an appointment.
My Doctor Checked me out to ensure that I wasn't going into heart failure (which I'm not thank goodness). But she suspects that I may have a Hiatus Hernia.
She's prescribed Pantoloc to deal with the acid reflux. Last night was the first night where I have been able to sleep through the nigh without being woken up in discomfort. I slept until 11 am this morning!!
I'm scheduled for some more test to determine if it is indeed a Hiatus Hernia. I'll keep you posted.



She thinks that stress and or the fact that I'm overweight may have caused it.
Congratulations on the 5 pounds gone!
