Eating Slowwwwwwwwwly... Ugh!

[TinaMari 75]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
