Too much vs. too little protein

I guess I have to relate an embarassing holiday episode in the hopes that someone can relate.
I got to T-giving dinner quite hungry after a looooong day of travel, although I had tried to provide for myself. Had turkey et al., but heavy on the proteins, and light on all that surrounded. I pushed everything else to the edge and spreaded it out.
It was a light plate overall, but I had not eaten much all day, due to the travel stuff. I did have my vites.
Five minutes later, I upchucked it all. I don't know what my calorie or protein counts were at all for the day. I probably didn't have much, although I enjoyed my turkey day going down.
I guess I ate too eagerly to please both my hungry tummy and the mom-hostess, but how about embarassing!
I don't see people posting much about upchucking. Am I alone?

Nope, you aren't alone. Even at five years out, I still have an eject button. There is such a thing as eating too fast, or while too tense, for me. I also have to listen to my belly when it says NO to certain foods and not just try to push something past that "resistance." It's about like living with a temperamental child in my belly at times :-p.
Boy am I lucky. At three weeks out I have never vomited. Even when I eat/drink too much or too fast, I don't puke. I hope it stays that way. I'm doing much better when it comes to eating and drinking slowly so I am sure that will help.

I had one barfisode about six months after surgery, and the other cir****tances were similar.
I was hungry, looking forward to a special meal, had some good protein and felt like I was doing a good job focusing on it, but apparently ate too fast. Or maybe just one bite too many, and there really is a place where you are OK, and ONE BITE can really be that tipping point.

The only time I throw up is 1) when I am sick with the flu or 2) when I eat to quickly! I have worked very hard to slow down my eating, but when (like you) I haven't eaten much before and I am starving I tend to wolf my food down! Tehn about 3-5 minutes later... Here it comes!! I've had this happen three or four times in the past two years.

Ugh, lol!!!! Damn me when I eat to quickly!!! (Being 3 weeks post TT, I am DREADING it if I end up throwing up because this won't be feeling good!!!)

It still happens to me every now and again. Usually when it's been when I am too hungry, eat too eagerly, and some type of solid protein. We went to a pig roast last summer, and I was very hungry. I threw it all up in fifteen minutes. I usually just kick the protein count ticker back to what it was pre-meal, and start all over again, LOL.

This happened to me once. I was at Sonny's BBQ and it took 2 hours longer than we thought (we were traveling) with bad traffic, and I was already gnawing on my own arm. I don't think I threw up, however I never felt so miserable in so long.

I am now 4 months out and haven't thrown up yet, but on a couple occassions I wish I could have - I have had a few meals where I eat too much, too fast (Thanksgiving was one of those occassions) and I feel so bloated and miserable - and end up going to the bathroom ALL NIGHT. Seriously I counted pooping 8 times Thanksgiving night. I know when I go more than 4x a day, I have done something bad.

6 years out, and thankfully few and far between, but I can still have it happen. It's usually when my eyes and brain just tell my stomach it can handle a bit more....and the stomach declares "FAIL".
My other challenge (and again, to be clear, this doesn't happen often to me) is when I eat too fast. This is why eating regularly and often is such a better choice overall.
No worries. You are normal :)

DSer at goal. 7 years and going strong. Thankful for DSers who came before me and are no longer able to pay it forward here.
