I agree with blooeyz. I get that some pain when I eat too fast. I had to go and buy a 1 minute timer to slow me down while I'm eating. Otherwise, I don't take enough time between bites and I'm in alot of pain.

Good luck.

My serves are creeping up a bit to about 3/4 cup full. Hopefully I will want less after my fill on 12 December.

My nutritional plan has completely changed..here it goes:

Meal #1: 1/2 cup of pineapple, 1/2 cup of 1% cottage cheese

Meal #2: Protein shake..isopure (50 grams of protein!)..plain yogurt mixed in with some rasberries

Meal #3: Salad: 4 oz (if im lucky) Grilled chicken, flaxseed oil, spinach, almonds, carrots, kidney beans, and 1/2 cup of cottage cheese on top for dressing (I usually split this for meal #4 and just add more chicken)

Meal #4: See above

Meal #5: Sauteed chicken (4 oz), in olive oil, green peppers and onions, garlic, made up for a chicken fajita...without the fajita..also add flaxseed oil when cooking

Meal #6: Plain yogurt with some added strawberries and pure vanilla extract

Of course all bets are off if my food gets stuck and takes hours to get through..but I do the best I can.
