I am still 3 months away from surgery, but am seriously struggling with eating slower and with smaller bites. Anyone have suggestions??

dont worry... start working on chewing your food and nothing to drink before & after. after your surgery you wont be able to eat fast and will have to take smaller bites

Smaller utinsels help - I use dessert spoons and cocktail forks or the tiny plastic spoons I got from a nurse similar to what you get in ice cream shops to take a taste test (you can actually buy these). Putting your spoon or fork down between bites helps. I count my chews for each bite and try to get up to 40 - doesn't always work but it helps slow things down.
