I never really had any time constraints attached to eating, but I do understand the lack of interest in eating. I didn't experience it as early as you did--but I didn't have any restriction for quite a while.

Your loss so far has been really good---but I would be sure that you are at least meeting your nutrient needs. Calories don't concern me as much as Protein, fat, Water, and micronutrients (Vitamins and minerals).

Do your track what you eat? I use fitday.com, and this allows me to ensure that I meet my needs. If I didn't track, I would probably fall well short of my Protein needs, in particular, each day.

I also take a good-quality bariatric Multivitamin as "insurance," as well as a handful of other supplements (some recommended by my doctor, and some because I consistently fell short of the nutrient dietarily---again, tracking let me identify what I was missing).

At this point, I wouldn't be worried about a lack of interet in food---that's pretty much what we all aim for! But I would want to make sure I was getting what my body needed to remain healthy.

10 minutes? Not sure I understand unless you mean you take a bite and wait 10 minutes before you take another. The only time constraint put on me was that I should finish eating in 20-30 minutes and then push the plate away. When I had too much fill, it would take me so long to eat because I'd take a bite and then have to wait out the stuck feeling before taking another bite. I'd eventually give up cuz I got tired of it.

I had surgery 8/24 and received a bit of a fill in my AP Standard band. Most of the time I don't feel like eating, but I do have times when I am really hungry and can't eat much when I do. I believe this is a good thing...
