Has Anyone Ever Over Eaten



Recommended Posts

I admit it. I've done it. Eat more than supposed to. Maybe at a party or simply Ive forgotten.

Everyone is different but I don't get nauseus or stomach pain, just the guilt killing me inside.

I want to throw up, but that's worst than eating a lot.

So I tell myself, I won't do it again. food is not priority in my life.

I have not had that "stuffed" feeling since being banded. On the occasions I have over-eaten, I find I will get hit with an horrendous wave a nausea -- that's worse than being stuffed!! It's kind of like a shock collar on a dog, they learn really quickly what not to do -- as have I!!

yes, I have and it wasn't a good experience either. After reading many posts about people not eating enough, hitting a plateau, etc. I thought oh, maybe thats my problem so I tried increasing what I ate and that was a BIG mistake!! Lesson learned: listen to your body and the band will tell you when enough is enough.

I get the pressure in the chest and the food at the back of my throat that no amount of swallowing will get rid of. I learn fast not to do that again.

Everyone is apparently different and I think it depends on your level of restriction - I can't see how I can stuff myself now. If I eat too much I will start pbing. When I do that - I can't take another bite. I have not had a total full filing for the last 2-3 months. I just stop myself from eating usually because I don't want to pb. On the other hand. I have a friend that pb throughout the time she is eating and is able to eat all of her food - it's weird eating with her.

Hi bama! Be careful. I'm on vacation now. Today was a hard day because I'm with a large group. The no drinking and eating has been tough for me. Plus I'm going to be honest and say I ate too much, too quickly for lunch. I was beyond uncomfortable for hours. Then I had to attend a group dinner. I had some Soup but it was uncomfortable. I just need to get a hold of myself and for tomorrow slow down, make smart choices, and stop immediately after getting any soft stop signals. Good luck!

Didixo, be kind to your body! You have just had major surgery and I would be surprised if you are on anything but liquids at the moment.

Take care of yourself and remember why you went through all of this.

I'm 3 weeks post op and I ate too much. I was allowed to go on to string cheese and instead I had mozzarella sticks at the bar. I definitely went overboard and even have a cocktail which made me ravenous. Then was picking at my son's food in and it up being 3 chicken nuggets and tiny little burger. I was so full it's now 8 hours later and still full but my worry is really about being an idiot and stretching the pouch or sipping and something like that. I have lost 13 pounds in 3 week and have been near perfect but tonight I was like pulling the rip cord and I really paid the price it was uncomfortable really worried all night about stretching my pouch and slippng the band what do you think??? Could this have happened with 1 b I n g e? It is still 1 quarter of some food that i used to eat do you like a truckload...scared.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
