Ate Too Fast

[Jnfinney 513]

Let me start this off by saying this: I made a mistake, learned from my mistake, I won't do it again.... so please don't judge or lecture me.

OKAY, now. Last night I was exhausted and just wanted to go to bed, but I hadn't eaten supper yet. I heated up some leftover shrimp and veggies and I only heated up an appropriate amount for the stage I am at. I normally put my fork down for 2 minutes after every bite, but the food was going down fine and I was so stinking tired and I really slacked on putting my fork down like I should (huge mistake). About 10 minutes after I finished, I felt super sick and threw most of it up. I felt better after throwing it up. So, I won't be doing anything stupid like that again, but I am wondering: is this a common response for eating too quickly?

Thanks for reading!

Y E S !!!!!

Anything faster than dead slow can set it off.....

horrible isn't it!!!

[Jnfinney 513]

Yes!!!!! Glad I've only done it to myself once!!!!

Yup. Done it. Twice so far. After the first time I swore I’d never make that mistake again, but I did. And I probably will again in the future. Sometimes we just forget things we think we could never forget.

I'm laughing with you, not at you.🤪 I say that because I said the exact "I learned my lesson and will never do it again." And I've said it more times than I care to count.

I had RNY, not sleeve, but the same thing happens to me. It has happened more times than I care to count. I really struggle to slow down enough. At times, even when I think I have eaten slowly, it turns out it was not slow enough. I find it happens most frequently when I am distracted for some reason....tired, in a hurry, multi-tasking, talking or visiting with someone during a meal.

Eventually, I actually will learn my lesson once and for all 🤣

I am sorry this happened to you... I have a feeling I will be learning this lesson A LOT!!!!

I have to eat much slower than I did before but not quite two minutes between bites. Sorry you experienced this. So far I have not vomited since surgery but I’m sure I will do Something my new tummy dislikes soon. It’s probably better that you are now like this. For the long term goal of keeping the weight off, I mean, Im sure it’s will be easier if your body gives you no choice but to slow it down.

I’ve had this happen before and also with a couple foods my stomach just won’t tolerate. It’s a miserable feeling but it definitely makes one think twice about doing it again! The biggest triggers for me are things that are too dry like plain canned chicken or even a tiny amount sushi rice that is cold.

I felt better immediately after vomiting, but I agree that this response could help me in the long run. I have done really well with eating slowly, and I was just too impatient last night so I had to pay the price. Also, I haven’t eaten anything that has disagreed with my stomach. The only thing that makes me nauseous are Protein Shakes.

yep - too fast or too much will often set it off.
