Eating Too Fast - Clarification



Recommended Posts

Normally I eat pretty quickly and I have been watching the size of my bites when eating food and trying to slow down, but what is the reason for watching if you are eating too fast? Why do i need to watch the speed when I'm eating? Maybe this will be more understandable to me in the future as I get more fills, but I don't know if I need to be watching for something or what this is about? Can eating too fast stretch your pouch or something?

Eating too fast can cause food to get stuck. Also, it takes 20 minutes for your brain to know you are full. If you eat too fast, the brain doesn't get that message in time and you then over eat.

I've been practicing eating my meals no faster than 20mins even though I have not been banded yet (Sept). It's true, it takes the brain that long to feel satisfied.

once u get stuck, eat slower the next time, when u dont get stuck, u will realize the point of watching how fast you eat. I never thought it woudl make a difference and prior to my second fill, it didnt make much of a diff, but after the second one...ohhhh let me tell ya.

I have yet to have my first fill, so honestly the smaller bites, chewing A LOT, and eating slow hasn't been an issue. am working on it now so that I am prepared, but I will admit it is hard when there are no issues if you don't do it. I've been on mostly mushy foods too, so chewing is difficult to master when the foods you are eating don't require it much. I just know that I, for one, have NO desire to find out what stuck food or eating too fast and throwing up feels like. ;)

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
