Dangers of Over Eating



Recommended Posts

I just ate 1/2 a chicken!!!

Albeit, very slowly, they consisted of a drumstick, thigh, breast and wing!

Sigh!

Can too much overeating cause slippage? (I never vomit!)

Odd, cause I feel I CAN eat this much, if done slowly.

I just want to know the effects of not eating less.

Thanks!

Consistent overeating can stretch out your pouch.

What unforgettable said.

Plus, you won't lose.

Stretching the pouch means an unfill for a time, and/or band removal.

HOWEVER, unless you have some restriction you are probably ok, although that still is a bit too much IMHO.

Post op until you get restriction 1. stoma between your upper and lower stomach is fairly "wide open" and it doesn't restrict things much, so you can eat "more" food because it is going on through to your lower stomach and 2. until you get restriction you won't get satiety on a cup or less of food.< /p>

Further, there needs to generally be a pattern of overeating to cause the stretching, not one wild meal here or there.

Having said that (see I think you get a pass this time) use this to educate yourself. WHY did you do that? Do you need some therapy to help you with head hunger? It's not smart, it's not healthy to overeat once we have the band (I mean, it never is but now you may do extra damage) so try to use this to inform and educate yourself.

Hi:

Sounds like you need a fill.

I could never eat that much without hurling it back up.

Best wishes to you with your band.

I have had one fill. I know I don't eat as much as I did before, but I can still pack away some groceries if I don't watch myself! One thing that helps me is to not let myself get too hungry. If I do, that's when I tend to eat more than I should. Funny thing, sometimes I feel a little restriction...and some times I don't. Maybe it's the type of food I am eating. I agree though...when you get more restriction you will see the difference and it hopefully will make you mindful of what you are doing. My second fill is next week and I am really hoping my weight loss journey will kick up another notch! I haven't lost much to date...but I am not rushing things. I feel great and I have recovered 100% from surgery. I hope your band proves to be the best thing ever for you!

      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.
