    atPeace55 got a reaction from ISleevedIt in 5 Weeks Post-OP Still Teaching Myself to Eat Slowly   
    It is a constant battle that you will face from time to time throughout your journey, I'm 22 months post-op and still can catch myself eating too fast. What I try to do is go back to what I learned which is take a bite of food and then put the utensil down and chew, chew, chew it works if you are consciously eating and not eating looking at tv. LOL just a thought! I'm not perfect at it either so you're not alone - I also eat and do at 1 or 2 crossword so I don't just continue to put food in my mouth I concentrate on something else while I chew.
    Foods that still make me gurgle are salsa (anything tomato based) beef and chicken - pork not so much which is odd and crabmeat I can eat like no ones business.

    atPeace55 got a reaction from Jenhort in Kick Ass April - Fitness Challenge! Who's In?   
    ALRIGHT! I'm so excited this is my first challenge i'm doing with my VST Fam!!! I'm thinking our name should be "Team Buttastic" for this challenge because it's all about the lower half of our body's! What do you guys think? Any other name suggestions? @Bridget Alati @Jenhort @ mlkthomas @indy9771 @ISleevedIt @DrmBig4Evr
    Here are some youtube vids that I found for each move we have to do for the month of April:
    Burpees
    Wall Sits
    Squats

    I'm in....This is 5% of my old boot-camp routine that I've been dieing to get back to! I'm not sure if I'm approved to do the burpees yet since I'm only one week post op but I will check with doctor and do as much as I can to keep up!!! Then when i'm cleared for full exercise.. I'm going back to Boot Camp Code Pink!!

    Yeah it happens and you feel so much better after. It usually happens for me if I eat too fast or if I don't chew my food well. Nice tip you can sometimes stop the vomiting by putting cold water or ice on your head it makes the symptoms go away if you catch it early enough.

    That took courage and I respect your decision to let your circle know what you did and they way you wrote the letter was very detailed. If anyone is negative after that....well that tells you alot about them!
    Good luck on your journey!
