Question for anyone who has had RNY
One of the points to doing this is is to satisfy your craving for chewing, satisfy your need for taste. Learn how foods really taste by taking your time eating, are you using a small saucer and baby fork and spoon? you should be.....until you learn.....

I am using a 6 inch plate now, but I'm not using the baby fork and spoon. I am cutting my food to miniscule pieces.
Why do you use the baby fork and spoon? For portion control?

Thanks...I'll come up with some wild questions now and then.
When the nutritionist told me that I could not eat and drink at same as the drink would force the food out of my stomach....and then showed me how the stomach is like a funnel, ... I asked her a winner of a question.
If the stomach is a funnel, when I drink will the fluid go right thru my body to my bladder? Will I have to sit on the commode to drink? I kid you not, I asked that question.
She was very professional and did not laugh. Now I can't beleive I asked that.! :)

I have to chew my food to what I consider the consistance of cornmeal/ but appleasuce is a good comparsion. If I don't food sticks in my opening and then it comes back up. You quickly learn to chew WELL or you spend about 1/2 the time throwing it back up. I have had problems with scar tissue forming and had to have the opening stretched three times and I still have problems at 15 months out. Everyone is different and I have had a variety of problems But the problems are a way to really make you do everything to the letter. I have lost weight better for what the problems have forced me to do. Trust me you will be forced to chew food enough or you will pay for it. And you learn quickly if you have a lot of what you eat make you miserable! Remember that how much you eat will be drastically less. So you won't be chewing as much. That helps to know that. Plus you will find that stuff you one liked may not taste good afterwards. The very first time I ate SF jello in the hospital I kid you NOT it tasted like mushrooms to me, and not good ones at that. Your sense of tase really does alter. I found I can no longer drink our well water and can only drink bottled water now. Things taste that different! Sue
