What happens to everyone when they eat to fast? I get a knot in my belly and feel completely sick to my stomach. throbbing and it feels like its just sitting there waiting to drop lower. grrrr why on earth did i just do that

I eat fast all the time have yet to figure out the slow eating and I eat off tiny little dessert dishes that hold about 2 ounces. My spoons, forks are smaller than toddler utensils their espresso and dessert forks and spoons very small. I still eat my 2,4 oz in a few minutes . I just don't know wth to do about it tg it don't hurt after I'm done or maybe that's a down side and why at 3 weeks I still eat to fast .

I'm at 3 week's as well and eat to fast everytime but I also pay for it!

Man I totally understand where you guys are coming from. Usually I remember but not always and you feel so shitty when you do eat too fast. Ugghhhh

If you eat too fast, your food tries to get into your tummy too fast. You will get the slimes and a stuck feeling in your chest area. All you need to do to relieve it is go to try to throw up in the toilet and it will upchuck and pop right put for instant relief. There is really no nausea or " I need to throw up feeling first".

Iv never had the slimes. I have had the stuck feeling. I just ride it out rather then up chuck sure that would not feel good at 3 weeks. I eat all kinds of food just way to fast doc has me on anything as long as I chew well.

I always got the slimes when eating too fast plus an aweful stuck feeling in my throat. Sometimes the only way to get any relief was a trip to the bathroom. Thank goodness I no longer get this at 3.5 months, but it is still wise to eat slow and chew. I think doing this also helps build healthy eating habits for the future. Unfortunately, I never did learn the habit of taking 20 minutes to eat 3 oz of protein so I will have to work harder in the future in order to not over eat. I am measuring everything out now so as long as my measuring continues, then eating fast will not be detrimental to my success. My advise is to learn the healthy eating habits not only to avoid pain, but to build a solid foundation of good eating habits when your restriction diminishes after 1-2 years.

I am at week three just eating until I am full and stop. Not measuring it all yet. Better to use a measuring cup or kitchen scale? Don't have one yet.

I was wondering how you were doing chad...how goes it?

I'm not post op but I plan on weighing and measuring everything. I want to establish best practices while I'm so restricted. Make sense?

At Walmart they have a little tiny glass measuring cup they look like a shot glass they hold 4 ounces and are microwavable. I used it like a bowl for the first two weeks. They are around 94c or a few dollars I can't remember exactly. I have a biggest loser scale as well for measuring food it's pretty easy to use.

Thank you for checking on me. Back to work tomorrow. Still walking and now eating soft foods. I took a lot of naps too. Tracking on my fitness pal has kept me more accountable. I can eat so little portions they are not a real issue yet, but u are right about measuring from the beginning.

I am having to change my ppi, had reflux before surgery. That's been a little difficult.

Down 46 since pre op and 28 in the last two weeks since surgery.

Thank you my friend

6 months out and I get what I can eat fast and what needs to be slow...if I eat chicken breast fast without chewing like 46 rimes, I will vomit. In turn, I can eat end,ess amount of yogurt or cottage cheese with no problem. I think the more fibrous or dry the protein is, you really have to eat it slow. Tuna salad on crackers, I can move pretty quickly through, I dont get sick, but Ido get the gurgles for an hour

No worries. I'm planning on taking tons of naps. I even bought one of those sleeping masks for when I am in the hospital. Ever since I started using it I have been getting better sleep. I am one that needs it pitch black to sleep well. When I get paid this week I am going to get a great scale. It holds data for 11,000 food items and based on weight will tell you how many calories my food is. Makes tracking nice.

Plus I already have the body media fit band. It tracks my steps, my levels of intensity...tells me when I burned the most calories. I put in my weight and it tracks losses, etc. plus it adjusts my BMR to my current weight. It also tracks my sleep too. So it gives a great overall picture of my exercise. Plus I can print reports to show how I'm doing. It's great for accountability.

I'm getting excited and I'm really happy to hear about how well you are doing. I hope going back to work goes well for you too. Hugs and wish you more pounds lost forever!!
