Pain after eating



Recommended Posts

Whoa.... I'm having pain after eating to fast.

I swear I feel so normal like I could eat like I used to (fast)

But noooooo I'm definitely not!

This has happened twice to me - where I ate to big of bites and too fast.

Any tricks to slow me down ?

Most of the time I'm fine but when I rush...... it's BAD NEWS :(

Count your chewing for 20 times and put the fork down in between bites.

It's so hard, I know. I feel like I need to lie down after most meals. My nutritionist recommended taking a forkful or spoonful and then placing the utensil down until done chewing. Or every bite if not using utensils. Chew until applesauce consistency (can be gross at times) and wait a few seconds after last swallow to take another bite. Also do not drink anything for 15 min (nutritionist said 30min) before or after which is SUPER hard because I always drank and ate together. It's huge tho for pain after eating. Just don't drink. I just tell my phone to alarm in 15 min after I'm done eating, then I can drink.

I bought some appetizer silverware at Crate & Barrel which is helping with smaller portion sizes, and they look nice.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
