Am I Too Tight? Eating To Fast? Or Do I Need A Fill??



Recommended Posts

I haven't had a fill since October...im not real sure if I need one or am I too tight? When I eat I tend to eat faster than I should...and my food will get stuck almost everytime...but I will be hungry almost 2 hours later...I'm wondering if i need a fill and just slow down my bites and chew more...I've only had 4 fills. I've lost 32 since surgery July 20 and haven't lost a pound since December 5

Generally if you get stuck you do get hungry sooner than you should as you probably didn't manage to finish your meal.

I wouldn't even contemplate having another fill at this point. You need to focus on eating slower so you don't get stuck. Another fill will just make getting stuck even easier.

I agree. Slow down.

I go through the same thing sometimes. It's totally my fault. When I slow down and chew my food I enjoy it, can eat more, and stay full. Before my surgery I was a VERY fast eater and I see myself falling into that pattern again sometimes. Our bodies do need calories. My advice is to slow down. Are you sitting down when you eat or just eating on the run? I catch myself in bad habits a lot. Try slowing down first and see how you do.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
