HELP I EAT TO FAST!!!!!

Listen everyone, I have a bad habit I eat entirely to fast I started eating like this as a teen so now  I cant control it I'm afraid it will affect me when I have RNY I guess I need to practice eating slower now.

Yes practice now.  Take a small fork full (alittle at a time) put it in your mouth and chew, chew, chew till there is nothing left.  Put you fork down and wait a minute or two and then do it again.  Practice now.  You will have to slow down, you won't have much of a choice.  Good luck with your homework.  Linda.

Lillian guess what I feel the same way..I noticed sometimes this year that DANG I eat fast. I'm cooking healthier meals but I'm always finishing my meal ahead of my hubby. I gots to work on this here too...sometimes I'm just chewing and swallowing until I have to slow myself down..thats a crazy feeling when you become aware of it....

I gag easily so I really hope all that food won't be like "mush" in my mouth with all that dang chewing..lord I would be throwing up before I could swallow...I think I can..I think I can! Just letting you know I feel ya homey! lol

We shall OVERCOME someday.............

I know how you feel.  I have been trying to change that habit as well.  Another thing that was mentioned a while ago was that everyone should make sure their teeth are in good shape before surgery because of all the chewing you have to do.  I thought that was very good advice and I would have never thought of that on my own.
