Need timer!!!!!

:help: I read about a timer which flashes to tell you when to take your bites and now I can't remember what or where. I really need this I think my biggest problem is I eat too quick and then I get the pain going down. I can't stand the pain.

I would like to know more about this timer as I could use it as well. I also think that I am eating too fast, and that will be a problem one I have restriction

My mum used to say to me, slow down slow down and I thought she was just being a nag but once I got the band and after many episodes of pain I realised I had to slow it down and chew and taste my food the pain went, its amazing how fast we eat isnt it dont know about the timer but try chewing one hundred times and that should do it eventually it becomes habit as the fear of the pain is always lurking in the background so keeps you in check

My dr. has put on my list of "have to gets" a kitchen timer. He wants me to set it at 20 min. and regardless of anything stop eating at that time (plus never eat after 7:00 p.m.). I'm not sure about a timer that tells you when to take a bite, only one that tells you when to stop eating. He also reminded me that chewing very, very well is the key to success.
