eating to fast

I was thinking about why I seem to get sick at night/ I really think I eat to fast. To me being 7 weeks out I have learned everything except that.It is very hard to wait 3 minutes between each bite but believe me when I say get a timer. I am going to start tomorrow and see if that helps. We went to Fridays tonight and everyone told me I do. Just a little hint to the pre-ops.Learn from the very beginning.It is so important. I should have listened to Erin on that one. I hope that this helps someone,Cindy

Hey Cindy! Good to see you! Glad you are figuring out things. You are just going to keep doing better and better. Take care and talk to you soon! PJ sept 2, 2004

Hey Cindy. Eating slowly is hard. Especially when its something we really like to eat. I sometimes get real excited, and than forget I had the surgery. I don't time my bites, but once the food is like mush in my mouth, I than swallow, and take another bite. We missed you on Friday. Bertie is hoping to get you to come to a meeting again, only this time riding with her. She REALLY enjoyed the meeting Friday. Have a great Sunday, Sandy

Hi Cindy, Thank you for sharing ... I am pre op practicing to eat slower to prepare for post op eating. This is a major issue for me. Thanks again. Georgeann

eating too fast got me MO in part--i didn't stop when i was full! and now-eating too fast is still sometimes a problem! listen to sandy and those out farther than me--but we have to pay attention when we eat now! i had a piece of something the other day that i should have chewed more- it swallowed ok but then sat there for a bit ...not good! when i talk at a meal; i also am not chewing as well--and for awhile , there were stresses at my dinner table before the kids moved out--that all adds up to discomfort.... it's a hard thing to learn...keep at it!!!!!

hi, its jennifer from akron. i taught myself to eat slowly about 5 months pre-op. it helped me to lose weight and after surgery!!!! so, all you pre-op beauties, try to teach yourself to rules before surgery!!! jennfier
