Sometimes when Im eating I eat slow for a little bit, but I cant imagine doing it all the time. It's certainly going to be an adjustment.
I'll probably just avoid eating out for a while.
As for cooking after the band, I havent thought much about it. I'll just take it as it comes, and see how I go with food. I live with my boyfriend so I'll probably cook similar, modified meals to what I cook now. Our meals are pretty healthy, just the portions are too big and we eat too much fast food and junk...
