Ok so I've had two episodes of gagging and wanting to throw up after I eat? Why? Is it the food I'm eating? Eating too fast?

I didn't actually up chuck but I almost did... Any thoughts???? Thanks

Probably eating to fast, taking too big of a bite, or not chewing well enough. Or a combo of all three.

It's so hard relearning how to eat! Try to put you fork down between bites and really chew well.

Yes I haven't learned how to slow down my eating and am still in my old habits. But maybe after today lesson will be learned.

So far for me eating slowly is the hardest part of being banded!

Don't feel bad, I'm still having problems eating too fast too, I wasn't paying attention yesterday at work while I was eating 2 hard boiled eggs for Breakfast and had a slight stuck episode. Fortunately no one was in the bathroom and I was able to keep burping small burps and moving around to get it through, but it wasn't fun. I definitely paid attention to what I was doing after that and I've only had 1 fill.

There was a post I just saw last night and someone was talking about an interval timer that may help train us to eat slower, I'm going to look into it, hopefully I can find something that vibrates (can't have noise going off every minute at work ), but this may help. I eat fast and get it done and have always been that way, so it will definitely be an adjustment.
