Topic: RE: anyone else spit food a lot?
I think both of you touched on some of my issues- texture, or, while chewing, suddenly realizing I'm full.
Glad to know I'm not the only one that does this!
Topic: RE: Dumping
I have just had my first dumping experience today. It wasnt bad I got light headed and queasy and felt foggy head like when you have had a few drinks. But other than that fine. I had a Blue bunny low carb ice cream today. And dumped on the fat the sugar was lower than my protein bars so i know it wasnt that. I have only a few small things of fried foods adn havent had any problems except a once I was queasy after it. But all in all my foods are usually chicken deli slice with swiss cheese, roasted red pepper and pesto making a roll up that weights 3 onces. That is usually my lunch adn if I am still not full feeling I just pop a few blue diamond almonds at the end. It is norm for me or I have a luna bar.

I understand like tonight I was eating Bourbon chicken bits. I ate like 5 small bits and then on the last one I realized I wasnt hungry anymore infact I was full. So I went to the trash can and spit it out. I realize I do this more with food I really like I am eating and enjoying it and then wham I am full so out of the mouth it comes, into a napkin, trash , or sink. i figure better out than in that is how I got so big in the first place.
I wouldnt feel bad unless you are depriving your body of food all the time and have not gotten your protein in or vitamins then I would say take a few minutes and eat. Keep a chart but get that food or protein shake in. To little food can stall weight loss as well.

Topic: RE: I've done a bad thing...
I too take Lexapro. Hate to see what i would be like w/o it. They say that hormones are stored in fat and as we lose it we can have emotional days. We talked about this at my support group and it all boiled down to anxiety about the same thing happening again.Facing fears seems to work it out. I have taken pills fine from the get go. Even the vitamin (Centrum) and Calcium are no problem for me. Hope it works out for ya.

Something about the texture of some food makes me do that. It scares me that it might hurt my stomach. Meat especially. If a piece wont chew up right i aint swallowing it. Or if I take too big of a bite. It has become like a reflex now.

Topic: RE: Military Wives
I'm not a military wife, but I am a military mom. My son joined the Army National Guard. My nephew has served in the army for the past 18 years.
My grandson's daddy is also in the army. He is getting prepared to go back overseas for his fourth tour of duty in the last 5 years. He say's he has a bad feeling about it this time. So if you are a praying person please keep him in your prayers. His name is Johnny. You all take care.
God bless you,
