Poll: Do you eat your exercise calories?
Almost there replied to SeattleSue's topic in Fitness & Exercise
Oh my gosh, I also noticed an increase in my hunger since I started exercising. I don't really like it, because it makes me feel like I'm eating too much. I'm 4 months post op and still in weight loss mode. I think I have increased to about 3 ounces on some foods and it scares me. I liked it better when I only wanted to eat about 2 ounces and was satisfied. How suggestions or comments? -
Thank you very much Heather.................that is my problem right there, I was focusing so much on eating slowly and chewing my food really well. I will start taking bites the size of my thumbnail and see how that goes, I'm sure it will take care of my issue.

If our bites are suppose to be the size of a pencil eraser then I'm taking way too big of bites. Maybe that is why I always feel like I have a lump in my chest.................I make sure to eat slow and chew really well. But as mentioned in an earlier post, if you allow yourself to get too hungry you want to eat and that means sometimes forgetting the basics.

Oh my gosh, I am so sorry, I didn't realize how awful my message sounded. The shoveling wasn't meant to be offensive but even I took it that way. Very poor choice of words.... they continued to eat without conversation which made it very difficult for me to wait long enough between my bites but it's all a learning experience and of course I'm still learning.
I also used...

LOL, yes. It's hard watching others "shoveling it in," as you say! :-) I have to accept I use to shovel at the same rate LOL Thanks for your post!

OMG, eating out is my worst experience, I just can't seem to eat slow enough unless I'm with my other friends who have had the sleeve or lap band procedure. Even eating at family functions and everyone is shoveling the food in, I'm sitting there with my fork down watching everyone because no one is talking.

Hello, I'm new to this site but I am 3 months post op. When you have your surgery you will not feel like eating after, in fact, drinking enough Water in the hospital before they would release me was the hardest part. It will take time to learn your new eating pattern but please stick to your doctors list, it has been perfected and it's given to us for a reason. It will take time to learn to eat VERY slow and chew REALLY well, this is still difficult for me at 3 months. Just this morning, I either ate something that wasn't agreeing with me, I didn't chew it well enough or I ate it too fast. Everyone is different but you will learn your stomach's signals as to which one it is. What I have learned eating at home and work is to take a small bite, chew really well and put my fork down. You must wait like 5 minutes in between your bites..............it should take you no less than 30 minutes to eat. Like I said, I'm still learning.
