I got so sick today from eating too fast & too much! And it happened at work! Lesson learned at 4 weeks post-op!

Oh that sucks! Sorry that happened to you!

I'm actually really concerned about this because I only get a 30 minute lunch break. It was hard enough eating regular food that fast. I'll be lucky if I get two bites in. I'm thinking I will have to do protien shakes for lunch every day.

Oh so sorry that happened. I have a feeling it happens to the best though and that's how we really do learn just how slowly we have to eat. I know when I finally have the surgery it's going to be mostly shakes for me at work. For home I bought baby utensils to use so that I remind myself to slow down. Any other tricks folks use might be a great thing to share on a separate thread!

I'd be surprised if all of us have not shared your pain at one time or another. I know I have and I still eat too fast every now and then. You'd think I would learn! The good news is that if you screw up enough times, you learn to spot the early signs and s l o w down!

      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.
