I finally feel normal

Sandra, I think you and I are surgery twins. Nothing makes me dump. If I eat too fast I get a little pain and waiting a few minutes makes it stop. I had food stuck twice in one day and did vomit. I felt better after, except my throat was irritated. I am not on the tm daily, so I don't know about the thirst issue. I am only doing 1/2 mile at a time. I start at 2 mph, work up to just over 3 and slow back down for the last bit again. I have short legs, so that can be a run for me . After three weeks of not seeing the scale move except up a bit, I finally lost 6 pounds in this past week. I am finally happy I did this and think it did really work. Last week I only climbed on the tm once, so this week my goal is twice. Don't like to set myself up for failure or anything.

Yesterday I used some of the machines at the gym along with some free weights. I was supposed to go to the gym today but I will have to go tonight. I have to take my son to an appt.
I hadn't seen the scale move either for a bit. I got on last Thurs and then again Mon. The difference was 4 lbs. That was good to see. Good luck with your loss.

I think i had something stuck very early on. It was a piece of shrimp and it felt like it was pressure in my chest .It passed in a few minutes. I think i ate too fast so i learned real quick to slow myself down lol. I kept pacing back and forth trying to walk it out lol.It was definitely different enough for me to know i don't want that again. You are so right when something doesn't sit right you definitely don't want to eat. I don't dump either and im actully happy cause i never intended not to be able to enjoy the foods i like i just needed portion control. I hope you are feeling better. It does get easier everyday as we go.

You sound like you are doing very well. Keep up the great work. It is work too isn't it? I have to think so much harder about what I am going to eat now. I take my time shopping. I cook more. Nothing is really pre-packaged and no fast food. It is definitely more work.
