I am getting conflicting information on how long it should take to eat.

My doc says take at least 30-40 minutes to eat a meal. Others say take no longer than 5-15 minutes. Why is there such a difference in opinion on this? I am sick of eating cold eggs ;) I am 28 days post op open RNY. I had a morningstar griller (vegetarian hamberger patty) last night and ate it in about 15 minutes, it weighed 2 ounces. Another time I had a scrambled egg with cheese and salsa at IHOP and ate it in like 45 minutes. I must say I didn't feel much difference between the two meals except the eggs were getting gross and cold. I am talking to my dietician tomorrow, so I will ask her too. I just wanted to get the opinion of other post-ops. =)
