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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
