Don't do it again. :-). I did that once - too fast and too much. I just had to suffer as I wasn't able to throw it up. It's a learning experience. That's for sure. I'm on my cell phone so I can't see how far out you are.

Oh god, yes that has happened. I switched to smaller spoons and forks after that. The pain was nearly unbearable.

You got that right guys! I will focus on chewing sllloooooooowwwwllly. I felt awful for almost an hour. And I was in the car driving home from WVU with my husband so it's not like I could go lay down or something. Dear God, please do not let me ever experience that again.

That is why we are supposed to eat SLOWLY!! It take a few minutes to realize that we are full. If you wait a minute or two in between bites, you will know when you are truly done and will not feel that way.

It will also help if you measure your food. If you are supposed to not eat more than 1/2 cup at this point, then measure that amount out and eat slowly. You will NEVER feel that way if you measure and eat slowly!!!

I am almost 5 months out and have never done that because I measure all my food and eat slowly. I guess you would only do it once tho if it hurts that bad!

Feel better!

I have felt that way several times. Guess I was a slow learner! But Kelly is right, don't eat too fast and measure your food and it will fix it. Also, I can't eat bread, it makes me feel sick. That may have been part of it. I can eat crackers (two to three saltines or 5 small whole wheat crackers), but the soft bread bothers me.

I was afraid I couldn't throw up after surgery, but I did one day after eating a few bites of peach at Breakfast. It came up so fast it shocked me. I had the pain for just a minute, then whoosh! Also I got the foamies a couple of times after overeating. Really gross!! I was trying to eat to much to get my Protein in. I finally backed off and realized it's not worth it to feel bad. You can always drink more Protein if necessary.

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
