I agree with Chez. when I eat I do not have drink around me. When I go to restaurant I have them take my water when my meal comes. I have chronic dry mouth so I chew gum (mentos) after I eat until I can drink again. I know there are a lot of people that dont chew gum for worry of swallowing.

walk and move around as much as possible. It will help you get rid of the gas. Also try gas x and maybe a heating pad. Sorry you are hurting but you will feel better soon. the more you can move around the better

I am four years out and I still get that pain. I take gas x and try to walk around. I usually get it when I eat too much.

So glad to see that others also like quinoa. I have a collection of recipes if anyone wants some.

If you want some good recipes friend me on Facebook at Hely lb to join my recipe group. If I don't have something you are looking for I will try to find it for you. Anyone is welcome.

Stick to what your doctor and nutritionist say

Are you sure it is only 1/4 cup? How many times a day? Head hunger sucks but it will get better you are doing great trying to keep busy. Drinking water will also help with hunger. Keep up the good work!

You should be fine but your doctor might want you to drink decaf.

I was just wondering how many of you use quinoa instead of rice? It is a gluten free grain that contains some protein.

Tuna salad, flaky fish,scrambled eggs whisked with skim milk, canned chicken, beans, bean chilli, refried beans, egg salad I use a potato masher on eggs. Ricotta or cottage cheese with some beans and marinara sauce. Some people use the blender (I don't ). Let us know what things you discover work for you. Congrats again!

You should also have a list of what you can eat from your doctor. If you do not you probably want to get one asap.Congrats and best of luck!

The people who see you the most will be the last to notice changes.

I don't count calories either just mostly protein. I do measure most everything and only eat up to half cup solids.

Unfortunately I still love everything as before. I do think I enjoy stuff more now.

Tastes nothing like cottage cheese. It is what is used in stuffed shells and manicotti .

My doctor said no popcorn. I recently discovered edemame. I pop them out of the pod so they take a while to eat and they have around 168 calories and 13 protein. Such a healthy snack I such a small package. I never make it through an entire serving.

I often cook big pots or skillet recipes and freeze half cup servings. Awesome to know they are there when I need them.

My mom used to take ib profen and ended with a whole in her esophagus. Long term she has a spastic esophagus.

You are in! Thankyou for joining!

What a witch !

I weigh weekly because every day would drive me crazy. I do not own a scale. I do understand why people weigh more often. I have learned on here that there is no wrong answer and everyone has to do what works for them.

Feel free to friend me on Facebook at hely lb. I have a group with tons of recipes, ideas and suggestions. I have tons of stuff including crock pots, skillets, vegetarian, seafood, and anything you want I will find for you. The group is open to anyone. It is not a support group.

I woke up early this morning and ate something went back to sleep and woke up choking. It is important to not eat close to the time you go to sleep. It is such a scary feeling. Please also call your doctor. Be healthy!
