Cecilia 201 Posted March 23, 2013 Slow learner, I guess: I have finally figured out that the minute a bite of food feels the least bit uncomfortable, I have to stop eating until the pain stops. And if it doesn't, my meal is over. Having figured this out, I learned that the first bite of just about anything that isn't still pureed hurts a little. If I wait 5-10 minutes, I usually can finish my meal at a more normal pace and everything feels fine and stays down. I wonder why *starting* to eat is so uncomfortable, but whatever. I can live with this. At work it's been amazing. I was so afraid of criticism, but 99% of people have been supportive, complimentary, etc. DAMN it feels good to lose weight!! 3 Wendilou, monken and gerrykayred reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe you have an issue with cheese? Maybe broccoli being a tougher veggie your not ready for? Was the tilapia breaded? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RVinMomma 32 Posted March 24, 2013 I hate Protein Shakes, gag a maggot!! But I have found something I like! Syntax nectar lemonade mixed with crystal light lemonade and the crystal sky mixed with crystal light fruit punch. So yummy! And not milky or thick. They are like juice.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you can't keep fluids down, are having a lot of pain, or continue getting sick I'd call my doc for sure!!!
