Vomit!

[wondering1 103]

Has anyone ever eaten so fast that they literally HURT??? I just inhaled 1/2 am egg salad sandwich and I hurt so bad. I want to throw up. Any advice?

Don't do it again. :-). I did that once - too fast and too much. I just had to suffer as I wasn't able to throw it up. It's a learning experience. That's for sure. I'm on my cell phone so I can't see how far out you are.

Oh god, yes that has happened. I switched to smaller spoons and forks after that. The pain was nearly unbearable.

Yes, twice actually. It's a learning process....lol. I am now working really hard on slow slow slow and chew chew chew....

You got that right guys! I will focus on chewing sllloooooooowwwwllly. I felt awful for almost an hour. And I was in the car driving home from WVU with my husband so it's not like I could go lay down or something. Dear God, please do not let me ever experience that again.

That is why we are supposed to eat SLOWLY!! It take a few minutes to realize that we are full. If you wait a minute or two in between bites, you will know when you are truly done and will not feel that way.

It will also help if you measure your food. If you are supposed to not eat more than 1/2 cup at this point, then measure that amount out and eat slowly. You will NEVER feel that way if you measure and eat slowly!!!

I am almost 5 months out and have never done that because I measure all my food and eat slowly. I guess you would only do it once tho if it hurts that bad!

Feel better!

I have felt that way several times. Guess I was a slow learner! But Kelly is right, don't eat too fast and measure your food and it will fix it. Also, I can't eat bread, it makes me feel sick. That may have been part of it. I can eat crackers (two to three saltines or 5 small whole wheat crackers), but the soft bread bothers me.

I was afraid I couldn't throw up after surgery, but I did one day after eating a few bites of peach at Breakfast. It came up so fast it shocked me. I had the pain for just a minute, then whoosh! Also I got the foamies a couple of times after overeating. Really gross!! I was trying to eat to much to get my Protein in. I finally backed off and realized it's not worth it to feel bad. You can always drink more Protein if necessary.
