TinaMari 75 Posted August 3, 2012 Before I was sleeved I read on here how everyone was talking about how slow you have to eat but I thought it was an exagerration... Um NOT! So, when does this eating very slowwwwwwwwwly and chew chew chew and only being able to take bites the size of a dime END!!!? I'm so sick of this. I mean it takes me forever to eat real food. It's sickening. Sometimes the food gets cold by the time I'm finished with it. Talk about aggravating!!!! BTW: I was sleeved July 17th just in case you need to know.

Ryokokitty 26 Posted August 3, 2012 I was sleeved on 6/14 and it is still hard to eat anything at the way I used to. Maybe that's the point. If everything isn't processed for me and cheweed slowly, I feel like there is a lot of air in my chest. I can't watch my husband eat because he eats like it was a timed event. I didn't realize it but when I do watch him eat, I try to eat at his speed and I paid for it. I told him, "I love you but I can't watch you eat." He knows I don't mean it harshly, but I keep my head down while I chew. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KikiCC 83 Posted August 3, 2012 I can relate. I have in the past given up on a 'regular' meal, toss it, and then made myself a Protein Shake. However, it does get better. Hang in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JD7176 84 Posted August 3, 2012 I don't think it ever ends. My food often gets cold too and I've also thrown the last few bites out. I think its a way of life now. It's funny because I do realize how quickly people eat now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
murfsgirl 22 Posted August 4, 2012 I too was sleeved on the 17th, I hate cold food , so halfway through, I throw it in the microwave and take that little bit of time to move around and feel like I can fit more of the Protein in me as I seem to only fit 1/4 cup of it!

O.T.R. sleever 3,386 Posted August 4, 2012 The answer is.......... Never....... Actually this is the way we should have been eating all along. Eating fast , not thoroughly chewing are bad habits that we developed. Although I can say I'm getting use to it I can see eating fast is reinforced @ restaurants by keeping the temps low(this also triggers the body to what more food). I just amazes me that we as a society support bad habits this way. 1 misslisa810 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
