What are you eating?

Morning Marchers! I was thinking on the way into work this morning about what I'm actually able to eat (or keep down, better put). By the way, I always think of things to post while I'm driving, then forget about it by the time I get to the computer again! I'm wondering if anyone else is eating similarly to me, or if I'm a little behind. My doctor has ordered an upper GI to rule out a stricture, which may be some of my issue, but I'm thinking that maybe I'm just readjusting a little slower than most. I'm thinking the only reason that I'm a little ahead of where I think I should be weight-loss wise is because I'm able to keep very small amounts down, if I keep it down at all. Here's what I CAN eat (drink): Milk Cheese (just cheddar and swiss so far!) Crackers Baked Tortilla Chips Fat Free Pretzels Rice (tiny bit at a time) Cream of Soups Chicken (two bites MAX) Steak (tiny bites) Scallops (two at a time, every ten minutes or so) Shrimp (1 every ten minutes or so) Lunchmeat Ham/Turkey Tomatoes (fresh only) Lettuce (two bites max) Cucumber (without skin) Things I CANNOT eat: tomato sauce pasta bread/pita/tortilla fried anything butter ground beef peanut butter Anyone else similar or have any ideas. I'm mentally STARVING to death trying to get protien in every day, and it's not going so well. Thanks! Kim 312/214/175

Dear Kim: You lost 98 pounds in less than 4 mos!!!!! That is incredible. As for what you are eating - I think I will eat what your eating so I can lose faster. WOW! Louise -56

Kim, I have a few foods on my can't keep down list: hamburger beef in general pork salad I try and concentrate on protein. I usually get 80- 100 grams in a day. I had 2 stricture episodes with EGD's and stretchings. The second one has worked well for me. It's been 2 months and I can eat most things. When I was having that stricture problem even water came back up. I could only hold 2 oz an hour of liquids. It was the pits. Hope you find the problem soon. Shelly

When will you go in to see if you have stricture? As for me..there has not been a thing I cannot eat except for too much latte. I don't know if this is a good thing but I am glad to not get ill. I have not indulged in sugar or junk food so do not know about that.
