I'm also a fast eater! But I love what the sleeve has helped me achieve and I love that I have to eat quite a bit more slowly. I just cut my Proteins very small (sometimes while cooking) and I tend to use more liquids or sauces to keep everything wet so it doesn't get stuck in the sleeve and fill me up too fast.

It's a learning process...most of us are trying to undo a lifetime of bad habits and it does take time.

I don't think I will ever be the 1/2-hour eater that my surgeon/nutritionist aim for, but I'm definitely working towards a happy medium!

Best of luck to everyone!

@AlwaysVegas-

I was just saying that tonight at the supper table " and I'm suppose to make this last a half an hour???"

YA, I'll try. It's just so hard. We have a 2 and 3 yr old and when there done eating, there done eating lol

No time for MummA to sit around and eat for 30 min

I am 9 months out and still eat too fast at times. Then I end up hurting like crazy! Old habits die hard.

I am awaiting " Mother Nature" to come in a few days and I am craving anything and everything! I've literally stuffed myself 2 times today, like now, I just got home from work and I feel like I could burst! I ate chicken salad and 4 saltines. But about 45 min before I left work I drank a Premier Protein drink. I know better, but my mind is unfortunately over ruling my stomach today--- I feel like I've began failing. I'm sure in a day or two ill be fine. It's just Mother Nature!!! She's a rascal

So far, I've been pretty lucky in that some fast eating hadn't caused me too much discomfort, though a few times it has.

Almost 120 days out now, still learning some stuff along the way.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
