Do NOT do what I did today!

[chilo1 62]

OK so today overall was a bad day. It started out well, went to the gym 1 hour cardio I felt really good after. I has a poached egg and 1/4 of o piece of wholemeal bread toast. lunch about 1/2 a cup of chicken salad (with a teaspoon of low fat mayo and 1 of low fat greek yoghurt) After noon I had 1 chocolate chip cookie, and 12 mini carale slices,i know i know, i shouldn't have done that, still in losing stage. Was out with the childre all afternoon came home starving. Had a few flakes of smoked salmon and a few spoonfulls of mashed potatoes, way to quickly and it all came back up again and I was sick, a horrible feeling of chest oppression and nausea, not nice at all. It might be TMI but just so others don't make my same mistake, always have healthy Snacks that you can tolerate when you're out and about so as to 1) not eat fattening junk 2) not arrive home starving and eat too quickly! I won't be doing that again for sure!

Look at it this way...lesson learned. Unfortunately, that's how we learn.:eek:

LOL reminds me of the story of a friend, who ate junk food then decided to go jogging. About a mile out, middle of nowhere, he develops explosive diarrhea. Funniest story ever when he tells it, but did remind me never to eat poorly before heading out on a trip.

Ewwwww .... not good... but at least it is the first and last time for speed eating!! Hope you are ok x

Wait, I'm lost, what made you ill? The smoked salmon and mashed potato? I may not personally have eaten the potato but what's wrong with the salmon? Or was it a delayed reaction from the caramels?:thumbup:

[chilo1 62]

it's because I ate too fast!

[Globetrotter 1,340]

ohhhh boy, gotcha! I did that once while eating a hot juicy hamburger patty, I got carried away and ate too big of bites too quickly. The pain was horrible and it was accompanied by what I guess is sliming. yuckville. After it passed I felt like I had a hangover.

terrible lesson wasn't it? I've had that happen! Especially since i never got rid of the hunger sensations . . i would get so hungry (or so i thought) and eat WAY too fast get the slimming thing, the "call me an ambulance" pain in my chest and major discomfort for 30 minutes. . . its a learning phase and we eventully will "get it". . .

Thanks for the reminder on eating. I have new sleeve. I took my daughter out to eat last night at Fresh Choice, mainly a salad bar. I knew I could not eat, but, boy, it did look good. I settled for small serving of cottage cheese and some Soup broth.

It would have been easy for me to take something I could not handle, but having read enough here to know not to go there.

They say this experience is behavior modification with a vengeance.

Eating too fast has been my biggest issue. Even if I don't eat so fast that it comes up, that has only happend a couple of times, I can eat so fast that i don't realize when I have had enough and I get nauseous after eating. This is a bit different than my experience with a well functioning band. I always knew when I had too much and it would just PB if I carried it too far but with the sleeve I find myself nauseous even though the food stays down if I eat too much too fast.

Sometimes I forget that I'm sleeved and if I eat while distracted I eat too fast! Yesterday I was on skype talking w my friend and I was eating chicken, and it happened again, i honestly forgot to eat slowly and it all came back up, and you would think I'd have learnt my lesson yuck!

I need to lose about 100 pounds. Am seriously thinking about having the sleeve done...but when I read about how sick one can become...maybe I should think twice...I've eaten fast many times in my life...

Believe me, it is much easier to learn to eat more slowly and plan for Snacks than it is to remain 100 lbs overweight for the rest of your life!

I love my sleeve!

It's a habit to be broken. Honestly, it's not that difficult to overcome, and I was always a shoveler when it came to food. The faster I could pile it in, the more I could eat, and faster I could refill my plate.

You have to eat slow with any diet/exercise program, you have to be mindful of what you put in your mouth with any of the surgeries. Don't let one bad habit deter you from making a decision to better your long term health.

Also, at 22 months out, I eat like all my normal, skinny, naturally thin girlfriends. No faster or slower, just normal. How we eat pre-op is not normal, it's just "our" normal.
