Has Anyone Ever Over Eaten



Recommended Posts

Like stuffed yourself... Just wondering can that still happen and if you did what happened, ie sick, miserable etc....

I admit it. I've done it. Eat more than supposed to. Maybe at a party or simply Ive forgotten.

Everyone is different but I don't get nauseus or stomach pain, just the guilt killing me inside.

I want to throw up, but that's worst than eating a lot.

So I tell myself, I won't do it again. food is not priority in my life.

I have not had that "stuffed" feeling since being banded. On the occasions I have over-eaten, I find I will get hit with an horrendous wave a nausea -- that's worse than being stuffed!! It's kind of like a shock collar on a dog, they learn really quickly what not to do -- as have I!!

yes, I have and it wasn't a good experience either. After reading many posts about people not eating enough, hitting a plateau, etc. I thought oh, maybe thats my problem so I tried increasing what I ate and that was a BIG mistake!! Lesson learned: listen to your body and the band will tell you when enough is enough.

I get the pressure in the chest and the food at the back of my throat that no amount of swallowing will get rid of. I learn fast not to do that again.

Everyone is apparently different and I think it depends on your level of restriction - I can't see how I can stuff myself now. If I eat too much I will start pbing. When I do that - I can't take another bite. I have not had a total full filing for the last 2-3 months. I just stop myself from eating usually because I don't want to pb. On the other hand. I have a friend that pb throughout the time she is eating and is able to eat all of her food - it's weird eating with her.

Hi bama! Be careful. I'm on vacation now. Today was a hard day because I'm with a large group. The no drinking and eating has been tough for me. Plus I'm going to be honest and say I ate too much, too quickly for lunch. I was beyond uncomfortable for hours. Then I had to attend a group dinner. I had some Soup but it was uncomfortable. I just need to get a hold of myself and for tomorrow slow down, make smart choices, and stop immediately after getting any soft stop signals. Good luck!

Didixo, be kind to your body! You have just had major surgery and I would be surprised if you are on anything but liquids at the moment.

Take care of yourself and remember why you went through all of this.

I'm 3 weeks post op and I ate too much. I was allowed to go on to string cheese and instead I had mozzarella sticks at the bar. I definitely went overboard and even have a cocktail which made me ravenous. Then was picking at my son's food in and it up being 3 chicken nuggets and tiny little burger. I was so full it's now 8 hours later and still full but my worry is really about being an idiot and stretching the pouch or sipping and something like that. I have lost 13 pounds in 3 week and have been near perfect but tonight I was like pulling the rip cord and I really paid the price it was uncomfortable really worried all night about stretching my pouch and slippng the band what do you think??? Could this have happened with 1 b I n g e? It is still 1 quarter of some food that i used to eat do you like a truckload...scared.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
