Long time spent eating

Post Reply New Topic

Anyone else take long to eat? I used to take an hour and eat 2 times a day, but recently I started spending like 2-4 times longer
And if I take any less I get really hungry and start burping a lot or getting headaches.
I'm not even overweight or big (but every time I take so long I get worried I will get big).

Are you on any stimulants? I remember when I was on Adderall, I had a poor appetite and it took me forever to eat. Same thing happens when my gastroparesis is out of control, I have no appetite and I just sorta pick at my food, a small plate takes forever to finish. The time it takes to eat a plate of food shouldn't affect your weight at all. Maybe try eating while watching TV so you don't focus on it.

No, not on stimulants, but about 1 month ago did have too much spices.
Its hard for me to focus on both the TV and food (by this same reason I can't eat with people).
Not sure just how much I'm eating, because I don't eat in plates/portions, but a bit of many different foods (this is also why eating outside of home is such a problem. So much to pack)

What is gastroperesis?
Do sometimes pick at my food, though.
