Constantly reheating food.



Recommended Posts

No one told me I'd have to reheat my food during my mealtime. Slow eating=cold food. So annoying. Guess it helps me get my steps in.

Yes. Just learn to savor those first two bites when it's fresh and hot!

Strangely enough, I have developed a fondness of eating cold food. That is real food, and not Soups. I don't mind tasting a bit while I am adding food to be weighed before reheating. Of course, I add a little less than the 4 oz. to account for the tasting. Maybe I just get hungry, but I could eat the whole thing cold most times. I don't, but I could.

During my pre-op diet, I was constantly reheating as well. I was eating a lot more than I eat now though. I guess I don't think it is worth reheating only a few tablespoons of food. A friend of mine uses the warming plate below to keep her food warm. It uses a Water chamber, and lasts at least 30 minutes. She swears by it. It appears to be a product designed for little kids and babies, but so is the baby spoon that a lot of people use to eat with.

I have a similar gadget to @DropWt4Life, a hot plate: https://www.amazon.com/Mastrad-A04100-Magma-Plate-Black/dp/B003K05OBM/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1505310562&sr=8-12&keywords=plate+warmer

You nuke it for 2 minutes and it stays hot for a long time. The only thing is, if you have a cold house, the top of the food will still get cold. So I like to make sure I stir it up as I eat.

Good point about the steps though! :lol:

      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?
