Hi Terilynn, I am also a September Samurai (9/4/08). I learned that when I eat so much (or don't chew enough) that it hurts then DO NOT DRINK! I was hoping if I drank a little it would help the food to slide down through the band but the opposite happened. The liquid just sat on top of the food and I had to throw it up to get any relief. This happened twice so I will make sure that it doesn't happen a third time. Good luck to you!

Drinking doesn't help if you are too full. It gets stuck behind the food and might even cause you to vomit.

Also, you have to go by "feel" and part of the banding experience is relearning your bodies signals as far as being full or not full. Measuring is a good baseline to avoid overeating . . . however, it it is starting to feel a little uncomfortable you should definitely stop eating even if you have not eaten your premeasured amount.

If you give it a little time, you should feel better soon.

I walked around (literally) my house about 6 times in 20 degree weather, and finally felt better.... and burned God knows how many calories. The first two laps were a jog type speed. The end was dragging my feet speed. I live in a 14X74 feet trailer, with a garage right behind me (1 1/2 car) so I walked quite a bit. :biggrin:

I feel fine this morning.

Thanks

I measure my food as well, but I stop eating when I am full. I really pay attention to signals and give myself time to eat. There are times that I have some left over food, which I measured.:wink_smile:

I normally would have stopped eating, but my kids were fighting, and I was distracted. I screwed up. I know that.
