over eating



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved in September and I haven't had issues of over eating but this past weekend I think it happened. I ate a small cup if corn and I think it had way to much butter, cheese and other Mexican style fixings. I started to feel sick shortly after eating it. I felt like vomiting but I was just gagging alot. Finally just a little of flem looking stuff or spit. I'm guessing that is what everyone us calling the slimey stuff. This happened to me long time ago only once but didn't know why. I'm a bit confused and I didn't like how I felt. The next day on Sunday I didn't think I ate much but felt the same way again. I thought that if u over ate u would puck up the food again. But not much of what I ate came back up, mostly spit or whatever that stuff is. Anyone gave this issue who could shed some light for me. I'm not knowing what's going on. Help

My doctor said no to corn. It is one food to stay away from.

You have definitely had the slimies . . . my dietician's instructions say if you experience them, ask yourself,

--did I eat too much?

--did I eat too fast?

--were my bites too big?

--did I eat the wrong food?

Because the slimies are always caused by at least one of these things. Slow down, eat less, take smaller bites. And I agree with Christian and Sherry above, corn probably isn't a great choice. Hard to digest for most people, plus frankly, it's almost nutrition-free. I'm not allowed any corn whatsoever in weight loss phase.

The only way that the body can even remotely break down corn is if it is ground. The only purpose corn serves otherwise is to go right through almost the same consistency as it went in...fiber that is it.....

Most likely all the fat a long with the corn caused you the problems. I would find another food to replace that one as with our new stomach there is limited food space. Think Protein first and a couple of bites of the other things after....

i get the slimies at least once every other week. It's gross, and not fun, but in my case, it's always because I ate a bite or 2 more than what my sleeve is telling me to eat. I try to learn from it. Even if I ate a half cup of something yesterday, today might only be a 1/4 cup. Corn is not on my radar right now, but it sounds like it is not your friend.

Yep. You slimed, girl!
I can eat corn with no issues, but a lot of people can't.
That being said, for ME what causes the slimes is when I eat too much. It's not WHAT I eat but HOW MUCH I eat that does it. So that's something to think about as well.

      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.
