Guest guest Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Hey Jase! Long time no see! Glad you're still among the living! I have/had a host of stomach troubles and guess what? When you eat healthy you lose a lot of that along with the weight! Once, I got so frustrated with my stomach, I ate nothing but cereal and chicken noodle soup for 3 weeks. Completely stopped all symptoms, and I lost 17 pounds, but who can live on chicken noodle soup?? So I went back to solid food and sure enough every time I overindulged or ate anything too rich, here would come the pain. Just try to watch the fat and the tomato sauce based foods and it'll diminish. Oh and one more thing, GO KASEY KAHNE #5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *~*~*~* "This is no longer about what I HOPE to accomplish.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Kahn MMM maybe. Tony boy... Daytona will have a lot of new drivers, car paint jobs, and hopefully exciting racing. With me I dont even over indulge and I get it. ODD... I do have it done to it seems like I eat something even if just a little and bam. Example last sunday the 22nd. I had a cup of fried rice hubby ate. Well man I am paying 8 days later. I think it was because it was a few days old and rice got stronger with all the flavors he uses. The zantac doesnt seem to be worker so any advice please share. End Of Month (Jan) I weigh in tomorrow. Started the month at 271. YUGH highest ever. What is wrong with me? I know I am not the normal.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Meds to help with going off coffee?

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I'd just treat it as an allergy: don't eat it I haven't had bread or rice since around the first of the month. Sure, I miss it, but I don't miss how it treated me: bloated, etc .... if Zantac doesn't work (especially for 8 days) may definitely be time to look for something different. I can't remember all of the names of the commercials I have seen, but have you tried things like prilosec, etc or asking your doctor? End Of Month (Jan) I weigh in tomorrow. Started the month at 271.

Yes, there are things that I miss. But I enjoy having the lower, more manageable blood sugars! That is the decision that I have made. I can give up those foods if it means I can be healthier longer.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hello everyone I am new to the group. My name is and I am single and 58 from Ohio. I have two daughters and two grandkids. I have done Weight Watchers and Craig twice. They both worked really well but when I stopped I gained the weight back. I started them at 254 pounds and was down to 185 and got back up to 262 and have lost 5 pounds in the last couple weeks. I lost my job 3 years ago working for General Motors when they closed our plant. I became depressed and sat around getting my unemployment and eating. I was able to retire the first of last year so I am still not very active. I am going to try to get a part time job in the near future. I just started trying to lose some of my weight by just eating less and more healthy foods. I want to lose at least 30 pounds by the end of June for vacation. I was having problems about a year ago with reflux and heartburn and started taking the generic for Prilosec which is omeprezole and haven't had a problem since. I take Benefiber to help me go to the bathroom and if that doesn't work I sometimes take Durolax which helps make it easier to go. If I remember to take the Benefiber it usually does the job. It comes in powder form and you can add it to drink or food and is tasteless. Hope that helps. Hope to get to know you all. Eversole sunfirelje@...

My name is and I am single and 58 from Ohio. I have two daughters and two grandkids. I have done Weight Watchers and Craig twice. They both worked really well but when I stopped I gained the weight back. I started them at 254 pounds and was down to 185 and got back up to 262 and have lost 5 pounds in the last couple weeks. I lost my job 3 years ago working for General Motors when they closed our plant. I became depressed and sat around getting my unemployment and eating. I was able to retire the first of last year so I am still not very active. I am going to try to get a part time job in the near future. I just started trying to lose some of my weight by just eating less and more healthy foods. I want to lose at least 30 pounds by the end of June for vacation. I was having problems about a year ago with reflux and heartburn and started taking the generic for Prilosec which is omeprezole and haven't had a problem since. I take Benefiber to help me go to the bathroom and if that doesn't work I sometimes take Durolax which helps make it easier to go. If I remember to take the Benefiber it usually does the job. It comes in powder form and you can add it to drink or food and is tasteless. Hope that helps. Hope to get to know you all. Eversole sunfirelje@...

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Hi ,Cathing up over the week. I, too, am a newbie to the group. It must be hard to not working or having something to do outside the house (volunteer?) - I know when I am at work I find it easier. However that gives you time to get outside and take gentle walks. Building up a little each week, going a little farther, seeing the sights will all benefit your weight loss. xx From: "sunfirelje@..." <sunfirelje@...> 100-plus Sent: Tuesday, 31 January 2012, 15:42 Subject: Re: End Of Month (Jan) Hello everyone I am new to the group.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Had a stomach virus the last few days so didn't eat much or do much of anything. I lost 3 pounds in one day from vomiting and diarrea not fun. Not the way I want to lose the weight. I lost 10 pounds for the month. I am still weak from it but at least I feel better. I just hope I can do as well this month only without being sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope I can do as well this month only without being sick. Between all the comfort food when the three of us were sick and new batteries in the scale, I ended last month with a 5 pound gain, but at least I lost a few of them over the weekend. I was able to get a full half hour workout in this morning before my coughing fit so things are getting better here, too. At least food is back under control.
