why havent I learned by NOW? Tired of SPITTING UP FOOD...my own da$# fault... RANT,

Ok, surgery was August 25th 2014. I STILL order too much food, that i can't possibly eat, Fill my plate with too much food I can't eat, Eat too fast, not chewing long enough, take too big of bites, WHAT THE %$#& is wrong with me....I end up burping up chunks of food, too much! (Sorry that's gross,) but i have a feeling i am not the ONLY one....If i eat too much,too fast, i am always sorry. I burp up mouthfuls of food. Then i have to go spit it out for the next 35-45 min.   You would think I would LEARN BETTER HABITS BY NOW...My weight loss has been great, but I gotta get better habit through my thick head...I know better! Anybody ELSE have this problem?

wow that sounds awful.  are you measuring?  sounds like you might need to be a committed measurer.  

probably need to do more measuring...you're right.

Measuring is a great start...you also sound like slowing down and learning to be a 'mindful' eater will help. My friend who had RNY before me was a very fast eater, besides quantity and it took some real effort to reroute her eating habits.  One thing which she said helped her, besides using a small plate and small spoon, was to put a bright colored band on the hand she uses..but ONLY wears at meal time.  So it's a visual cue with each bite to remind her to think if she should be putting it in her mouth now or pause.  Some folks actually use a timer to count out how many seconds they want to chew on each bite...it's just a short-term tool to re-route those dendrite connections in your brain.  I hear your frustration and it CAN be overcome.  Just pause before eating, remind yourself of your rules and proceed with caution ;o)  Good luck!

and that's excellent advice....I gotta do better than this

good advice~ I gotta do better than this!

Make a fist. That is a cup.. Aim for that

wow, that's a really good tip, especially for when eating out.  thanks, glad I read that!

Thank you, this can get annoying quick...I really need to get it under control.

Sounds like your pouch is telling you NOT TO PUT SO MUCH FOOD IN THERE!!!!

It's been more than two months;  surely you've caught onto that message by now??!

You are responsible for your actions.
