I canceled my appointment for an endoscopy and possible dilation today. Over the last week, I've started being able to eat moist meats without throwing it all back up. I can get down 8-16 ounces of Water in 15 minutes or less and if/when I gulp it down more quickly without thinking, it hurts, but it stays down.

I've had quiche, homemade BBQ (lean pulled pork from the crock pot), a bit of hamburger, shredded chicken, and a Protein bar and it all stayed down. I've gone from vomiting 2-4 times a day to only once in a week.

I do think I was eating too fast or taking too big of bites. Using those ridiculous little baby utensils that other suggested work for me as does walking around a bit after each bite to slow myself down. An added benefit? I've been getting my 10k steps in and I can burp like a champ.

I think I'm good. I'm excited to start moving into different foods and I hope to never see anything else mayo based again!

I AM SO HAPPY!

Thank you for all the well wishes, notes of support and encouraging words. Y'all rock and I appreciate it.

:wub:

I bet it was horrible then, but funny (to me, at least) now!! I had my own issues going down the stairs at work today...yes, those blasted lunges and squats do it every time!

I had two babies, ages 2 and 1, so it was a hoot. Every time they needed something, I had to go up and down the steps. At the time, out steps went into our kitchen so everyone got an eye full of my "problem".
