Im nearly 7 weeks out. I am still finding it hard to eat at a decent pace instead of like a snail! If eat a bit quicker, I feel pains, you all know the ones i mean!!

How long did it take for you to get back to a normal pace? Im getting pretty fed up eating so slow. I dont want to gulp things down, just eat things at a decent speed!!!! Could i still be swollen?

Thanks as always

Hi-

How much time dos it take for you to eat your portion? Depending on what I eat, it takes from 5 to 20 minutes to eat. I think that is pretty normal. I am 2 months out.

I don't know about you, but I used to shovel food in like it was a contest. I can't do that anymore or I have pain or it comes back up. Now I take a bite, maybe two, put the fork down, chew, think, take another bite...I think this is the way thin people eat. I remember watching my size 4 friend eat dinner one time. She had five Triscuits and two cubes of cheese the size of dice. She chewed each bite very slowly. I asked her if that was all the dinner she was having and she nodded. Now my meals take about twenty minutes to eat, even the little bitty portions I have.

Life is different now.

      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.
