I decided then I would wait until beef agreed with me. It still doesn't can only eat a few pieces for a meal and then it screws up eating for the whole night. ground beef works well with me. It took over 15 months to even start getting an appetite. I have lost over 202 pounds since sept 08 and I could careless what I can't eat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7440443226583316292.post-2355930739706761502009-12-23T10:45:15.212-05:002009-12-23T10:45:15.212-05:00I agree with Sapphiyre.

A dear friend went through this and was frustrated at first, then told me she was going to just 'experiment' carefully and slowly and now is able to socialize, eat out, etc. without feeling deprived or self concious about her food choices. She told me that the first 6 months were the worst. So hang in there knowing that it will get better and your health will improve so much you will wonder why you ever had the slightest doubt it was the best decision you could have made.<br /><br />{{HUGS}} and remember to take baby steps for a while longer!<br /><br />SueSue Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03125874501927793360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7440443226583316292.post-73722618318354908372009-12-12T23:56:26.131-05:002009-12-12T23:56:26.131-05:00I'm so sorry Bev. :(I'm so sorry Bev. :(Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12299933283186031039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7440443226583316292.post-3344430097631078952009-12-12T18:14:14.934-05:002009-12-12T18:14:14.934-05:00I think you did well, Bev.

You're doing awesome in my opinion. Keep your chin up, as my Daddy would say.

Sounds to me as if the things you chose were a little "greasy" and that is really bad. Weak tea--green tea if they have it--at a Chinese restaurant, maybe egg drop soup. Just eat at home before you go, so you won't feel "deprived." I have a lot of food allergies and have to be really careful, so I sympathize with you!mehitabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07855340553296575495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7440443226583316292.post-88787569086078794122009-12-12T15:37:45.986-05:002009-12-12T15:37:45.986-05:00Ugh, I'm sorry this happened. :(

(I know it is different from what you're experiencing.)<br />I'm really glad I didn't give up going out to eat because it is such a social activity. <br />Eventually I developed a high tolerance for throwing up in public. Plus I learned my body's rhythms for doing so.<br />Wait staff can be annoying if you don't order food but if you explain that you can't eat for medical reasons then they'll usually stop nagging you. Ordering something other than water to drink helps because it improves their potential tip.Wacky Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13869515594850080903noreply@blogger.com
