It Finally Happened - Won't Happen Again

I do still having problems with eating slow, I think that is never going to happen for me. I usually eat in less than 5 minutes :/ not good at all

It is SOOOO hard to learn to eat slow!!! FOr 42 years I have eaten as fast as I can! I am a nurse in Labor and Delivery, and if you have a labor patient and you get a lunch break you are lucky!!! You learn to eat fast, cause your patient might get to the point of being ready to delivery, and if you don't eat fast, you might not get to eat at all! So for 42 years (that's how long I have been a L&D nurse) I have eaten fast. And that habit has carried over to my meals at home and when we go out. It is SOOO hard to break!

I TRY to remember to count my bites, and count how many times I chew to slow myself down. But I usually forget and when I have shoveled everything in as fast as I can, I think "Oh NO! I did it AGAIN!" So no my hubbie tries to remember to tell me to EAT SLOW! But like I said, HARD HABIT TO BREAK!!!

I'm pre-op, getting sleeved in April. I am practicing the slower eating technique as well as not drinking with meals now and have been for the last month. I hope this will ingrain the habit before the surgery so that this doesn't happen to me.

once i was released to eat solids i ate fast and vomited within 5 min. Worst Feeling ever, but im glad because i learned that i MUST eat slowly.
