Did you experience pain from eating and an inability to tolerate most proteins in the first year. I feel miserable so much of the time and I am either in pain or intensely hungry, but often feel even worse after I eat. I am not vomiting, but the pain can be entense, though it does pass. Just wondering. Lorraine

This is to Lori326. I experience that pain that you are talking about when I eat to much, eat to fast, or do not chew my food well enough. It is an unbearable pain. I am finally learning how to eat so it does not hurt. Take it slow. If it takes you an hour to eat a meal so be it. I can eat a slice of thin crust pizza, but it takes me an hour to do it. I do not feel any pain from it if I go slow. Good Luck

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
