Ugh....it finally happened....

I have the foamies among other things....I ate something too fast without realizing tonight.  I had done this once before about a month ago though it was not nearly this bad.  This time it happened almost 2 hours ago and I still don't feel good .  Graphic, I know...but it's how I feel and it's awful!  How long does it last? I will NEVER do that again!

OMG - I did the same thing a little while ago!!! Broke my #1 rule "No eating after 8pm!!" I had just finished getting things ready to go to my sister's for our xmas celebration tomorrow & decided to grab a quick bite of protein because I completely forgot about dinner & WHAMMO - I wasn't paying attention & I swallowed too soon!!! I just knew what was coming next!!! It has only been a little while but I am feeling much better now!! Sip some warm water to soothe your pouch - it seems to work for me!!! I have found that lately I am grazing & I am not happy with that at all... I eat even when I shouldn't be!!! Granted it's isn't much but I don't want that habit to form!! Could be related to PMS but that's no excuse!! This episode cured me of that even though it's not what caused it!!! Hey - whatever works, right?!! Hope you feel better soon!!! I will talk to you later (I saw your message but haven't had time to respond - I will Sunday - I promise!!)  Cece

Hi Cece!  I slept in the recliner last night.  I just couldn't get comfortable laying down because every time I did I was back in the bathroom.  I feel much better today, thank God!!  That's the worst episode I have ever had but I think I learned my lesson for good.   Glad your episode cured your grazing.  I'll look forward to hearing from you!  Have a great weekend!

I have had a couple of episodes like you describe...it is awful...I feel for you.  Yes, it happens to me if I eat too fast.  That is the hardest thing for me.  I have always eat way to fast.  Hope you feel better! Rosemary

Thanks, Rosemary!  I'm feeling better today thankfully but my stomach isn't quite right yet so I'm taking it easy with food.  Mostly having protein shakes today, I think. Thanks again!

You are doing the right thing by being gentle on your tummy today. Warm tea always helps me. I'm glad that you are feeling better. (I still have that happen with certain meats...yucko)

Diane, thanks for the tea tip!  I'll have to do that.  I'm still unsure whether it was the meat or how fast I ate...might have been a bit of both because it was something I hadn't eaten since before my WLS.   Thank you!!

I had 3 episodes over the summer from eating chicken/turkey too fast.  I understand exactly how you're feeling.  One time I actually spit blood from it.  I called the doc's office.  His nurse told me I irritated my tummie.  I couldn't breathe I was plugged up!!!  Warm water, when I could finally consume anything, helped break it up.  Definitely take it easy when something like that happens... XO

Thanks, Cheri!  It really is scary.  I kept saying to my DH that I hoped I hadn't hurt myself!  I'm glad I didn't spit blood...I would have freaked! I'm feeling much better.

I'm glad you're feeling better!  I have actually been close a few other times, not sure what my body does, but it has somehow prevented it from happening again!
