HatheryOnHerWay 603 Posted September 30, 2013 This will probably change some day, but at 4 months out I really hate eating. I get hungry like I used to and then sit down to eat, and within a few bites I feel gross and barfy. I need to learn how to a.) slow down and b.) chew my food. You'd think I would have figured this out by now, but nope! Apparently I am a very slow learner. 4 Ms skinniness, FRED1977, meamo and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No game 14,437 Posted September 30, 2013 Yep I'm still a fast eater... I just get started and I'm finished. I'm 10 months out so the learning train has left me behind. 2 Ms skinniness and FRED1977 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arts137 1,811 Posted September 30, 2013 sigh. I eat fast as well... Nothing I do seems to work. I still eat (at home) with a baby spoon, for goodness sake. 1 No game reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2Big2Skate 328 Posted September 30, 2013 What's the biggest danger, if youre body is not making you hurl it up? Is it that you'll stretch the sleeve? Or that food will pass to quickly to digest? I have this same fear since I eat way too fast too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No game 14,437 Posted September 30, 2013 For me it just means that sitting down to a meal is over in about 5 minutes... Not great when you're eating with friends and family.. I still measure my food so it's not about over filling to much.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LipstickLady 25,682 Posted September 30, 2013 I'd be a scarcer, too, but I scarfed it. Don't see the ability to learn anywhere in sight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have this same fear since I eat way too fast too. For me, if I eat too fast then I feel sick because I overeat before my brain tells me I'm full. Sometimes it DOES make me throw up 1 NMJG reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jen35 283 Posted September 30, 2013 For me, if I eat too fast then I feel sick because I overeat before my brain tells me I'm full. Sometimes it DOES make me throw up I'm the same way. I never threw up until recently. I really have to focus on slowing down and NOT drinking when I eat. I used to just sip Water if I needed to during a meal. Lately I've been drinking more when eating and I think that is my problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
homersmomma 77 Posted September 30, 2013 I also hate eating. I eat a child sized portion and I still end up filling up too quickly. 1 NMJG reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FRED1977 186 Posted October 1, 2013 I eat fast as well. I eat then I drink afterwards. If I try to eat and drink I get the over full and gastric reflux right away. It's hard to make a few bites last for a 30 minute meal. I chew a lot of time then swallow but it still doesn't take me more than 5 minutes to eat. In about two hours I 'm hungry again. I don't think I will learn either. So far I'm, still losing weight,and I hope to keep it off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QueenBee1018 1 Posted October 13, 2013 Whatever you do PROTECT YOUR SLEEVE!!!!! I use to think it couldn't be stretched, but now I am convinced. I use to be able to eat 1/2 egg and part if a sausage for Breakfast now I can eat two of each. The more get in the hungrier you can get the more you can gain due to I creased amounts if calories. BE CAREFUL - I LEARNED THE HARD WAY. I wish I could go back and change some if the decisions I made early on. Change your eating habits while you are still not that interested in eating. Protect the pouch to ensure limited stretching. Develop a process that will work for you longterm. DON'T TAKE THE SLEEVES CAPABILITIES FIR GRANTED!!!! I did and now I can't stop the weight gain. Be proud of how far you have come and know where you want to go and what you need to sacrifice to stay there when you arrive..........BECAUSE YOU WILL ARRIVE!!
