OK, so I am 3 weeks post op and I think I just experienced my first episode of pain following eating too fast? Or maybe not chewing enough?

I had about 1 oz of very soft turkey, which I have been tolerating fine, but I think I wasn't focused enough on my 25-35 chews and going slow. Ouch! I got a lot of pressure and tightness and over-salivating and general discomfort which passed after approximately 20+ minutes.

OK - I get it! Good reminder, sleeve!! You are in charge right now, not me!

Sure sounds like it. But lesson learned.

I had one similar experience. It only took one to know I didn't want it to happen ever again.

The over- salivation is the start of the "slimies" for me. (Vomiting saliva/mucous, general grossness) lying down is a good idea when this occurs. It happens to me when I eat too fast or too much. I am at 10 weeks, and these episodes, thankfully, are few and far between!

Yeah, the over-salivation is bizarre and gross. What an excellent governor on eating too much or too fast.

I still find it hard to eat small bites and eat slowly and I make myself uncomfortable after a few bites all the time. I think I will have this problem forever. (hits self over the head). It's really bad if I wait too long to eat.

I ate the EXACT same thing I ate yesterday around the same time but wasn't paying attention today and had this experience because I wasn't paying attention and ate too fast.

I STILL on occasion, have a little bit of pain when I eat and I know its self-induced (eating too fast)...I have to constantly remind myself to SLOW down...hardest habit for me to break!

Same here ... I have to really concentrate on eating slowly. The pain from eating too much or too fast is a good incentive to control it.

I downloaded the eat slower app and set it to go off every minute and a half to two minutes. It seems to be working
