I over ate for the first time today. It's been over a month since I did something like this, so I am impressed that I could wait this long. I used to be a binge eater. Tonight, the baby and I made pizzas with tortillas, sauce, cheese, and pepperoni. I cut mine into 1/8ths and attempted to eat 3 slices. Halfway through the second I felt a pain in my chest. It went away after a minute so "Bingerella" here decided to keep going. OMG! I will try my best to NEVER do that again.

Two more bites and I had a constant painful lump in my chest. I wanted to throw up or beat on my chest like a crazy person. The last bite I spit out on my plate because I couldn't bear the thought of swallowing it.

So for those who were concerned that they may binge again with the sleeve, let me tell you that the physical deterrent is enough for me!

"bingerella" - Love it ) I ate too fast on 2 occasions and also had horrible chest pain so I forced myself to throw up. Now I eat very slowly and chew everything to death!

ive been there. its hard to stop old habits. but, the discomfort sure stops me in me tracks!!! if there is somthing so good, i want to eat more, but, cant! good luck!

Negative re-enforcement is a great teacher! I have done this a couple of times too (circa: pre-sleeve days) and now have NO PROBLEM stopping once I feel full!! I love my sleeve!!

Nothing like "aversion therapy" to keep you in line huh? Been there...done that!

Becareful, I think i've read another post of your's like this. You may cause yourself to get a leak in your staple line by putting so much pressure on a new sleeve. If you think that's something to sneeze at, it's not. My friend had the DS, lost 40lbs to be put on TPN (iv nutrition) for 3 weeks where she gained back almost 30lbs setting her weight loss back, and that's the least of your worries if you have a leak.
