One Little Carrot

All it took was one mini carrot. Last night at dinner, I had a full feeling and decided to eat the last carrot on my plate. BIG MISTAKE. I've always been able to tell when I am about to throw up -- that metalic taste, excessive saliva. I immediately went to the restroom and knew I was about to throw up my entire dinner. And all that came up was a few bits of carrots and some spit. I thankfully know when to stop now but I am wondering if throwing up is a normal part of the process. My friend with lapband throws up every time she eats too fast. I'm only three weeks post op and have not had a fill yet but my concern is that I will feel miserable and feel like I need to throw up and won't be able to. I of course do not want to throw up but has this been part of your lapband journey?

I have never thrown up but when I eat too fast it gets stuck.Today I went for lunch and was eating a really good burger, too fast, and had to go outside and walk a little. I burped a lot and felt better. On the way home from doing errands I had some home made potato chips (from lunch) and had the excess saliva. Awful. I guess they just didn't agree with me. My husband thought the grease.

I was always a very fast eater and really after one year you would think I would get the message. The BAND still works.

You will learn of your own "trigger foods" that may cause you to PB or vomit. For me it's chicken. I love it, but have to be careful with it. I'm also guilty of eating too fast or not chewing well enough, which causes me to run for the nearest restroom. I would say 99% of the time, it's my fault. You just have to learn what works for you and stick with it. :)

at 3 weeks post op I was barely on regular foods... throwing up is not a good thing, but hopefully it will be a reminder.. I know we all eat too fast sometimes.. I have really worked on that.. I have been stuck just a few times but it's painful and I now have slowed down alot... I also realized that even though I may have something left on my plate, I dont have to eat it .. it's better in the trash than in my already full stomach...
