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.

Yes wen I first started working out. I got really thirsty and couldn't get in enuff water. now I barley touch my water bottle during exercise****aisionally sipping) and constanly sip after or take in a protein shake with in 20 minutes and then sip some more. I try to get in a half a bottle before going.

were you able to increase ur time on the tm? have you made the 4.5 mph goal yet. or do I need to come down there and get on ur case. wait u got some big boys with big toys down there. One phone call and I wil get them on ur case.lol

 I finally tried some fruit (my fav. canteloupe) and it was amazing...didn't have a single problem with it! I was so thrilled. Thank you all for all your help! 

I had the same type of thing happen with only throwing up mucus when I ate too fast once before. I did feel better even though no actual food came up.
I only had water, protein shakes and small bit of s/f pudding this evening. I feel pretty good but I didn't want to eat too soon. I will eat tomorrow.
Hey Tom, you work out so maybe you will understand this. I do the treadmill and I work up a sweat. I get thirsty and I do keep my water bottle with me. It seems though that I can't get enough water in me soon enough when I am done. I am sooo thirsty but I can't physically drink enough soon enough. Do you ever encounter this? Maybe I need to really make sure I drink as much as I can all morning long before I go. What do you think?

I bet the fish didn't go well because of the crabmeat episode. Makes you scared to try stuff though, doesn't it?  I know what you mean about spending so much time thinking about what to eat. I'm glad to be able to try regular stuff again though and to have dinner w/ DH.
