Eating too fast.. Aaarrgh!



Recommended Posts

This is a horrible habit for me as well. I used to be a Paramedic, and you had to eat fast if you wanted to eat before the next call came out. My husband is ex-Navy and he wolfs his food down too. I've been working on slowing down, but it's hard. Especially when this inevitably means that the food gets cold. I'm 3 weeks out, so I have a VERY uncomfortable 15-20 min when I eat too fast because it invariably means that I go one or two bites past where I should have stopped. I'm hoping I get better at this. :)

I too suffer from the same bad habits of eating way too fast. My nutritionalists suggesting using my left hand, as I am right handed, and I will try this tonight.

Thanks so much for all the responses! I dont feel as alone in my struggle! I really thought i was the only one who doesn't learn from mistakes! After i ate too fast a couple of times, i thought I had surely learned my lesson! But, no! I had to repeat the same insanity! Again. And again. And again.

But just hearing all of your support is already helping me focus more on slowing down. Thanks to all of you!????

make it a great day

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
