Pressed my luck and got hit with a whammy!

[sychadelic 10]

If you've gotten to at least the puree stage than most likely you know the feeling of one bite too many. Well, today, I discovered the 2 bites too many scenario. Holy crapola!!

I was still reeling from the stress of riding out the tornadoes yesterday and was watching the news all day and was stressed out from that. I decided to fix some chicken, just 2 little tenders. Started eating and they were just sooooo yummy, I knew I was overdoing it. Just rest assured, if you overdo it, YOU WILL PAY! I have learned my lesson though, I don't want anymore whammies.....ever!

Anybody care to share their whammy story?

I think it is a right of passage all of us go through to understand the capacity of our stomachs. It is the worst feeling that makes us reassess how we eat. I now measure my food and eat to satiaty and not full. Just to avoid that horrible feeling.

Just happened to me for the first time the other night (with chicken too) and it sucked!! I am 5 months out and have done so good thus far but I guess I got complacent.

Not sure what's worse, the waterfall of saliva gushing down your throat, the feeling you're going to puke or my heart pounding so hard I feel like I'm going to pass out. I wish I could say its only happened once but I've over done it three times and nearly so a few more times. The difference between FULL and OMG IT HURTS! is like you say, about 2 bites.

I had my first experience today. I'm 19 days post op and on mushies. I'm not sure what happened.....its almost like I ingested air instead of food!! I had one tiny bite of grits....basically licked the spoon after stirring, 2 tiny bites of soft scrambled eggs.........and I'm running for the bathroom!!!! After the 3 small bites came out the rest was just nasty burping and a ton of slimy air bubbles!!!! Has this happened to anyone else? I know it wasn't an "overeat" situation......but maybe similar?

Oh man, I hated feeling as bad as I did. But, I will tell you that I've only had that ONE incident so I'm thankful for that experience.

But, I went out with a friend and had some chicken salad. Then, came home and I was so thirsty that I took a sip of Water. Even though I probably had too much chicken salad... and I wasn't in that 30 minute after window to drink anyway. And, that drink almost destroyed me. No lie when the first little bit went down I could just FEEL that I didn't have anymore room in my stomach and almost immediately felt it coming back up

Nothing like vomitting Water

I have felt uncomfortably full a few times, but I have never had any pain or vomiting.

It might have been the scrambled eggs. Lots of folks here have said they did not sit well with them either. The one and only time I have vomited was when I ate scrambled eggs. I won't be trying again for a while. I can eat boiled eggs just fine. Strange

I've eaten scrambled eggs more than 6 times this week...never had this problem. I do notice that sometimes I can take 2 bites of anything and feel like I swallowed a bunch of air and have to burp a lot before I can continue eating.

oh boy, my second day home and i took one Bariatric Advantage Vitamin and threw it up about a minute later. i think it was the introduction to something in my stomach that wasn't a liquid. was gross. i fear this happening again when i start the mushy stage

[LilMissDiva Irene 3,282]

Oh yes, fortunately I've only gone through this one time. It will never happen again as long as I'm able to help it. It does sneak up on you quick... so once you get that "Uh Oh, I think I'm full" you better stop. It is so ingrained our brains to keep going, if anyone knows this it's me. Why I needed the sleeve... it will smack you into next Tuesday if you don't watch it. Quite literally it is BY FAR the worst feeling of nausea you can ever imagine... lots of slimy saliva... retching... feeling of wanting to pass out (faint)... heart beating out of your throat...

IT'S JUST AWFUL!!!! So, this is what it takes for me to stay in a nice small portion? Gah! Oh well, I'm smaller than I have been since being a teeny bopper so I'll take it any day!

I owe you all a thank you! I am 24 days out. I did not face what you all have faced forutnatly so far! I am on the soft dite stage, I was eating just a while ago and the second I felt that I might be full I have left the fork immediately! Felt thirsty! Never got near the Water until 30 mins have passed! I do not want to puke Water .. I felt like you guys talked about this topic so the rest of us the sleevers be aware b4 we dare lol!

Could have been a texture thing with the grits. Maybe put them off for a little while and try them again in a few weeks?

I'm hoping somebody can keep from the experience - no fun, the too full or vomiting, neither is fun.
