I don't know if everyone knows about this gadget, but many of the folks at my support group are using the GymBoss timer to help them eat slowly. You set it for 5 minute intervals (or however long you want your intervals to be) and only take a bite when it vibrates. I just got one & have it clipped to my waistband. I fixed a lunch which is about 15 bites & using the GymBoss, it will take me over an hour to eat. I must admit that I was downing my meals faster than my little Lucy (don't tell her, but Lucy is a dog). If anyone is interested, here's a link:

I'm all for eating slowly - if I eat too fast, I tend to get stuck, and I appreciate my food more when I eat slowly. But, I have heard that if you eat for longer than 30 minutes, you are giving the food a chance to move through your stoma and be replaced by more food, thus making it possible to overeat.
