What do you usually eat...and how long do you take to eat it?



Recommended Posts

hey everyone,

I'm having a hard time to finish eating within the 20-30 minutes limit...first of all...my food is so little...really how do you manage to eat more than 20 mins? Also what are you guys usually eating for lunch and dinner? Any good ideas for me?

What is the 20-30 limit? Are you supposed to not eat longer than that? Or are you supposed to eat for that long? I don't get it?

I have a Protein Shake every day for Breakfast. lunch is usually something very small. I'm not usually hungry so I might have a little Soup or some cheese and crackers. I'm taking a few night classes so for dinner M-Th I drive through Taco Bell and get pintos and cheese and have a little snack when I get home at 10. On nights I don't have class, I usually eat something with chicken and vegetables or soup. I try to take as long as I can...at least 30 minutes to eat dinner. It's very hard to eat that slowly sometimes, especially if I let myself get too hungry. You will learn it in time. Just take small bites and set the fork down in between. Chew well and wait until you feel that bite go through before taking another one.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
