OMG. How did I miss this thread? I predict 100pages by next week! WTG @Orchids&Dragons!!! Well played!

I don't eat here but every time I walk past a Subway's it's smells like dirty gym socks while they are baking bread... WTF kind of bread is that...

A nurse called from my dr office....she said the PA suggests slowing down, chewing more (like everyone suggested) and likely chicken and red meat could be hard right now- also make sure food is wet- I said to my coworker ugh wet meat- like a cat LOL
She also recommended I take a second dose of PPI at night for a week or so until my stomach feels better...so I am going to start that immediately and just SLOW down and keep trying things one at a time. baby steps it is.

This is hard-- I have been lax some days about commenting and instead obsessing over other stuff...so that is my 21. I need to not obsess over things that are not in my control and just take it as it comes...day by day

I got a lighter weight one to start so I don't hurt myself LOL

I can't say that i have BUT I just bought a weighted hula hoop to try some hooping to help my waist area....I have read good reviews and have friends that enjoy it.

I agree walking is a great way to start your exercise journey. There are also a lot of short you tube workout videos. My doctor told me even if it is a quick 10 minutes a day can be quite beneficially. My 9 yr old daughter and I jump rope at home. Just find something that you can stick to and you will be OK.

I was told if you go past 4 days work from the bottom up (suppositories)....I haven't tried but it seems people here like them and they are not as bad as it sounds to me LOL.
But miralax every single night ( i woudl take a full dose in a warm cup of tea so I don't notice it).....has no taste or flavor but makes the Water a tad cloudy so tea helps mask that for me. Once you go and are more regular cut back to every other. I havent needed it lately but if I go two days I start it immediately....after one time of struggling and being in pain, no more for me!
Good luck

So I ate lunch very slowly- like 45 minutes slow. Had about 3-3.5 ounces of premade tzatziki chicken salad (so good) that I got in an 8 pack at coscto (4ounces each)....and a teaspoon of hummus with 4 slices of cucumber no peel) and 3 strips of red peppers. TINY bites and chewed to smithers and voila- no issues. Almost 1.5 hours later and I have been able to drink a premier shake and a bottle of Water now. le sigh- it's probably me and my pouch having a love/hate relationship and trying to go too soon on some Proteins. Still waiting on the NUT to get back to me though.

Ok, so it's official. You have issues you need to work on. They live INSIDE your head, not in reality. You likely have body dysmorphia.
You are a handsome guy! Seriously. I've never seen you before. And if I was young and single, I'd date ya at least once based solely on your looks. Now go. Run. Do. Work on your self-esteem and getting rid of that horribly unattractive chip on your shoulder!
Thanks for sharing.

Well, sorry you got it rough, dude. But as an innocent bystander looking on, until you OWN your own reality and step out from it, you are not gonna see improvement. I also get strong overtones that you enjoy victimhood and see very definite misogynistic signals. But I'm not a therapist nor do I play one on the internet.

Maybe find a good therapist if you don't have one or a good friend to talk to....hang in there, you are doing awesome

It's been a great year, and I wouldn't trade it for anything! Down a total of 221 pounds!!

I did email the dietcian....but would still be good if anyone has any feedback- I am going to try to wait about 4-5 minutes between each bite of food at lunch and see how i do.

Just getting opinions BEFORE I decide if I want to email the doctor's office. I call them about two weeks ago and they never called me back, so I figure I would get opinions here before I waste time calling them
6 weeks P.O today.....allowed all foods. I have been eating yogurt, cottage cheese, chicken salad....etc. Added in occassionally- blue berries, some raw veggies, some cooked veggies. I have had some experience with what I assumed was eating too fast/too much and/or not chewing enough and eventually i have to throw up to feel better.
the past week, i have throw up almost every meal with Protein in it unless it was yogurt, cottage cheese, tuna (although once I threw that up), chicken salad yesterday. This morning I feel like i have blue berries stuck and threw up a few time already. These berries were soooooo small. Smaller than my normal pills I can swallow without being sick. two days ago i threw up salmon and green Beans (maybe the beans?), then yesterday I threw up my lunch which was rotisserie chiicken (but there was definitely a piece of chicken stuck for hours...so I know i didnt chew it enough- cuz i saw it later TMI SORRY).....
any suggestions? Shoudl I just slow the hell down and go back to soft only and stop trying Proteins that are "denser"....I really don't think I have a stricture though because I am able to keep down plain cottage cheese, plain yogurt, liquids ...etc but who am I to know.
I am also not losing any weight right now which could be that I"m just not getting enough protein in or I am just stalled- but my primary issue is the vomitting almost every day.

Good morning- miserable- hit another stall since last Tuesday (that's two in less than 6 weeks) ...waaaaaaaah. Other than that great. Exercising a lot more and feeling good. how is your reflux- i saw another post you said you were having issues with it due to "lower quality" Water
