Bite per minute? Seems impossible, any advice?



Recommended Posts

I am having the hardest time trying to take 20 minutes to eat a meal, chewing thoroughly and eating one bite per minute.

If I do other things while eating I can do it, but if I were to sit down to eat (almost impossible sometimes with a 10 month old lol) I get bored trying to wait that long and it's hard not to eat fast like I am used to :-/

I almost have to stand while eating and take bites in between doing other things.

My food gets cold in the meantime but I guess I can deal with that.

I find it very hard to take 20-30 minutes to eat as well. That's probably the main thing I do wrong. I honestly just try to do my best. I try to remember to put my fork down with each bite. Not much help I know but it's the area I still struggle with as well.

Good luck!

I have this eat slowly app, which helps me know when I can take the next bite and how far through my meal I should be

      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.
