Started on soft foods two days ago. I've had no problems whatsoever... Up until now.

Just had dinner at a Mexican restaurant. Ordered the enchiladas, refried beans and rice. Ate the beans first (hello, protein). Then ate one enchilada. Now I feel horribly uncomfortable. I ate too much, too fast. Like I just ate a huge thanksgiving dinner or something.

This was a very eye-opening experience. What a change from my life before the band. Looks like I need to go slower and listen to my stomach. If I ate as slowly as I should have I'd probably have stopped a couple bites into the enchilada. Live and learn!

Did you just eat the inside of the enchilada or did you eat the wrap? If you ate the outside that wasn't a mushy and that could be your problem.

That is a nasty feeling. When I go to a restaurant the first thing I do is portion off the amount I'm going to eat and either move the rest of the food to the other side of the plate, or to another plate or to go container. That has really helped me, because otherwise I would keep picking away at it til I felt exactly like you did!

I think I'm doing this too. Eating too fast. i think i need to start over and follow the directions better. Going rogue and paying for it big time. I am not losing and I always feel like I'm about to explode. I'm at 5.5cc and I swear I don't feel anything I expected. I don't feel full. I thought for sure if I ate too much I'd puke or regurgitate (not that i want to reach that point.) I have felt overall sick and gassy and lower back pain. So much that I've been in bed a lot.
