I'm scheduled for 09/09/09 and can't wait! I'm getting a little sad that I won't be able to have a 'regular' meal with my husband anymore - eating together is a big deal for him. I feel like I will eat my meal in 15 seconds or less!

Howdy from Colorado! I am scheduled in Denver for 9/24/09 with Dr. Metz. I am nervous and excited all at the same time. I just hope and pray I am making the right decision for myself so I can continue to lead a happy, healthy productive life! I can't stand the thought of altering my tummy but I can't make headway any other way. So, we'll all be in this together! Rebekah

I think it actually takes 30 minutes for us to eat a meal. You have to chew...and chew... and chew some more. And then rest.....lol

Actually, I find that if I take about 45 minutes to eat then I stay fuller much longer ... so it may be your hubby is done before you.

See, I am the opposite. If I take too long to eat, then I end up eating a lot more because some of it has started digesting and I have more room. I am usually done eating in about ten to fifteen minutes.

Two nights ago I actually took the time and forced myself to spread it out over approx. 45 minutes - I was able to get down a small piece of meatloaf and 2 slices of homegrown tomatoes ... it was the first time since moving to mushies/food that I actually felt full and stayed full and didn't eat the rest of the evening. Generally I eat, get full fast and am hungry again in an hour. I did the same thing at lunch yesterday and got the same results.

I guess everyone is different in this regard.

My surgeon recommends we take 45 min. I used to do 10-15 and now I'm up to 20-30, which I see as a big improvement. I don't think I'll ever do 45 on a regular basis but I wouldn't mind doing 30-45.
