I feel like I'm being squeezed... Yesterday morning (first thing), I couldn't even drink cold water - it just wouldn't go down. I waited a bit, and tried coffee, and that did alright... then I tried yogurt - could only do about 3 oz. before I was overflowing... Lunch I only managed 2 oz. of cottage cheese and half of a hard-boiled egg. However, last night, I was able to eat an entire piece of keilbasa... just weird. This morning, I could only eat about 1/12 (yes, one twefth) of a piece of apple. I'm working on water and it is slow... I'm going to do yogurt in half an hour, because after 10AM I can't do anything but water... I'm hoping that with my floro/xray this afternoon, I'll be able to get things moving down a bit better. I don't want to be able to eat much more - just not get full or stuck after two bites. I'm also hoping that the adjustment will help with the weight loss which isn't happening this week (even though I'm following the rules, but I can't get much in). So, I'll keep you posted! Knowing that I'll be on liquids after today, then mushies, I picked up some Muscle Milk. That stuff is darn expensive! ($4/bottle) I hope it is good... but it has 25+ grams of protein per bottle, so it may be worth it if it tastes alright... I only bought two - not going to spend that much unless I really like it!

Getting adjusted

I can't do COLD anything in the mornings...closes me right up!
first thing in the mornings are coffee only for me. AFTER my coffee i can do oatmeal. I've tried my 'protein shake' (carnation essentials & milk, with egg whites added) after the coffee or in place of and it's a COLD THING...just can't do it in the morning.
evenings, i can usually eat whatever i want (still can't do more than a couple of bites of any type of bread or pasta though, so i just stay away from that or eat a bite LAST) in small amounts (band rule size of a cup or so of food)
I hope your test helps figure out what is going on and you get to losing again!!
My daughter loved the taste of the muscle milk so much she drank it before I could even get a taste. The one thing I really like about muscle milk is that it comes in a lactose free formula... that's kinda hard to find in a good tasting protein shake, and almost impossible in a ready-to-drink!
I cant wait to find out what is up. I have never had fluro and although the though of drinking that stuff sounds disgusting, it would be interesting to see it go down.
Also, what kind of MM did you get? I bought cookies and cream once and thought it was gross so I threw it away. But everyone says they love it...so let me know.
Amy - I got Strawberry & Chocolate - we'll see how they do this afternoon! I brought the Strawberry for when I get back to work and I'm starving.
I love the Banana MM, and the Strawberry is pretty good too, as far as protein shakes go. Expensive though!
Let us know what happens with the XRay!
I love MM the most, choc or vanilla creme and I get 4 at walmart for $7.00. Where do ya'll shop??? Hoping all is better now Sarah.
I haven't had the am issues yet. I hear it's normal and ppl just work around. Good luck w/ that and it will neat to hear how the fluro thing goes.
I tried choc mm and it was NASTY! I should give other flavors a try b/c I've heard they are good too. Here in Az, we have a brand of local milk called SHAMROCK FARMS! They make a choc milk called REfuel W/ 20gms of protein added and it tastes just like fabulous yummy choc milk. I get that at work every so often but it's like 300 calories so it should only be meal replacement. Let me know what u think about the MM, I should give it a try.
