Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass |  Slowing Down the eating Hey Everyone- Ive been experiencing a big problem lately. I have always eaten WAY too fast. Sometimes, I do it without even realizing I am. Sometimes, I do it, realize, and cant stop.... Anyway, anyone have any tips on things they do to slow down their meal. I have to slow it down. I have had to throw up a few times because of how fast I have eaten. Any tips would be helpful. Thanks so much!

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I do the same thing as some other ladies do, I many times eat a meal when I am on the computor and I chew while I read and that works for me and I also was a very fast eater, well I learned to eat slow becasue I am terrified of throwing up. I have only thrown up only 3 times since my surgery and they where all three at the beginning of surgery. Once because I was determined to get two pills down one right after the other and I think one got stuck in the tube and once I got it out I was fine. The other two times is that i got sick on food that did not agree with me. Now i know the signs if something makes me sick and I stop immediately eating it. Those are the only times that I threw up and I hate throwing up, so I take my time eating and I am a person who needs a little water every once in a while to wash the food down because it feels like it sits in my throat and have to use water to get it into my stomch. I only try to drink a little to get it into my stomach. I called my nutrionist and she said it is fine as long as I do not drink alot of water only to wash the food down that is sitting in my throat. If i would not wash the food down with water I would only be able to eat very little. The minute I feel full I stop eating even if there is only a tablespoon left in my dish. I am so scared of stretching my stomach and I do not ever want to put on the weight that I lost.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I as well have eaten fast my whole life, I have tried several times before surgery to slow cuz I knew I had to slow after I is very hard, but I just told myself that I have to do this or I may get food stuck and then get sick, so I have been putting down my fork down in between bites as well as counting how many times I chew my food, it is still not easy.
