tjmiller 37 Posted February 3, 2013 This is the best part of being banded so far...Learning to eat slowly and finally pay attention to what I am putting in mouth. I have to chew so slowly that the flavor of the food is broken down. For instance I recently ate a Weight Watchers frozen meal. All I could taste was how processed the food was. It was gross. Now I find myself only wanting "real foods" and appreciating how good they are. For instance I had grilled chicken, black Beans and a little bit if rice for lunch today. One of the best meals I've ever had and healthy too. 8 Spaness2012, Terry Poperszky, akwright68 and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jewelsm1127 351 Posted February 3, 2013 OMG I totally agree with you. Sweets don't appeal to me post surgery any more. Not sure why but I'm not tempted. And I do the same thing...I crave real food, am getting adventurous in trying different healthy things in the kitchen and just slowly eating and relishing the flavor of every bit I take. It is a whole new experience for me and I love it. It's almost like everything tastes 1000% better than ever before...probably because I'm not gulping it down. Or maybe because I was deprived of solids for almost a month. Either way, I am truly enjoying it. 2 hely88 and tjmiller reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
