I almost always end up eating less that what I need to because of it, and then feel hungry again an hour later.

very good point.

when one eats very fast, which usually goes hand in hand with not chewing enough, they get full faster (i'm specifically talking about a wls patient with a physically smaller stomach).

they end up eating less overall (or throwing it up due to discomfort/pain) had they taken their time.

and like L90 said above, they get hungry sooner.

rinse and repeat.

I just can't stop eating too fast! Everyone suggests waiting 1 minute between bites, but I just can't seem to do that. So many years of only having 20 minutes on my lunch taught me to eat fast and I can't break that habit. I'm just always miserable after I eat because I'm so full!

Any other tips?

I'm hearing you! I'm working as a nurse and depending where I work, if I get a meal break, I only manage 15 minutes. Most times now, I carry a Protein Bar with me and have bites of it while I'm doing my notes.
