It doesn’t make you sick ? I will throw up if I eat too fast.

Only tips I really have are the usual ones - use small plates and cutlery, cut your food into small pieces and try to chew at least 20-25 times, put your fork down in between bites.

Yeah, surprisingly it doesn't make me sick. Neither does drinking quickly. I try not to test it... just in case but there has been times were I forgot.

If I eat too fast, I usually feel like I've got a lump or something sitting too heavy on my stomach. I did that with some Protein Pasta last night. I had 3 bites and then I couldn't eat any more. I felt horrible.

I JUST had this problem. Waited too long to eat so I scarfed down some chick fil a grilled nuggets and had a ton of discomfort.

I totally agree with what someone else said, cutting up your food really helps. When I meal prep, I cut things up real small because I know once I’m hungry, I don’t think about those things... I just want to eat! lol

Surprisingly, BABY SPOONS AND FORKS...
I was sleeved on March 8th, 2018. I also had a major problem with eating too much too quick. Getting baby spoons, forks, cups and plates not only slow you down it also limits the amount you put on your plate

That's something I'm trying to learn while I'm in the presurg minor leagues before the Big Call up to the Majors. Not easy when you've been a mindless bolted most of your life.😙

That has worked for me too. I started with the spoons when I was in the purée stage. I now use the rest. It does help limit the how much I eat in a bite and how much I eat overall.

The Baritastic App has a great bite timer that works well.

What's the name of the app?

Baritastic. www.baritastic.com/

My surgeon's office recommended it and I downloaded it right away. I felt like it was a little invasive and prefer My Fitness Pal for logging what I eat and my weight loss progress. Besides, My Fitness Pal is compatible with my Garmin fitness tracker.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
