I think I may have a milk allergy. I have been taking the meds for the gastritis issues and it seems to have helped with things like Tomato and coffee, but I have been having a miserable time with yogurt....my all time favortie post band Breakfast. It burns like heck, then my throat feel all congested. I had to stop ice-cream a while back because of the burning and then a lot of mucous after eating it.

I always just blamed it on the gastritis. Now I am beginning to wonder if I don't have a couple of things going on at the same time. I have an appt on Friday and will bring it up. From what I have been reading I would not be surprised if this is my problem. It will make life a bit tricky though. I don't like the idea of taking in a ton of soy Protein and whey is so easy to use. I guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. I will miss my Greek yogurt!

Whatever you want to call it, it sounds damn unpleasant! I'm glad you have survived...

Things continue to go OK here. I wish I had a scales - I seem to be doing well - I'm now on a tighter belt loop than I was when I started my backslide, although I can't believe I've lost that much weight since I've been here.

Hey Fenton -- you're an internet savvy guy right? Order a digital scale off the internet somewhere and have it shipped to your Paris place and keep one there for when you spend long periods there. Just don't get on everyday... to discouraging to some of us -- maybe 1-2x a week is enough to keep you accountable.

Thanks for the help out there and I came up with this slogan to keep me on track and trucking along losing weight in the new year.

Ach, a good idea, but I think the consistency that comes from always weighing on the same scales is the way to go.

Today is going to be a bad day. I'm getting sick, sore of throat, have already downed a hot chocolate and some ice cream. And the bloody French pharmacies! I have just consumed an "ampoule" of zinc solution - no handy chewable tab here, a damn glass tube that had to be broken open and the liquid swallowed. What bunk!

I'm just glad they didn't give me something that had to go where God and nature didn't intend for things to go in...

Yikes! That doesn't sound good!!!! LOL!!

I have been a very, very ,very bad girl... I have absolutely no restriction, and am out of control!!!! OMG!!! I am afraid to get on the scale!!!!

The holiday family drama has begun!!! I guess you never completely have bad coping skills under control all of the time. Maybe I need to switch to alcohol instead of food!!!! My family is NUTZ!!!! I don't know if I can do it!!!! (I won't bore you with pages and pages of insanity... just know its BAD!!!)

Next year, maybe I'll just leave town!!!!!

Family drama is the worst.....I've pretty much stepped away from most of mine because of that.

Maybe switch to xanax, no calories!

Hi all!

I've been quite busy this past week. Much Merry Making this last weekend. I'm trying to beat a cold now. Has anyone used a neti pot? This thing is great! Jonathan I use the zinc that goes in the nose.

I will count myself lucky if I don't gain this holiday season.

Chop chop!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
