hi

well its been 4 weeks since the operation and i had my first fill of 1cc yesterday. doc couldnt quite get the needle in :cry so then had to get it done under an xray so he can see exactly where the reserve is. although i have lost 10kg, i feel that this operation isnt succeeding. i have struggles within my self and i dont know if this is normal. i try to chew lots and eat slowly, but my body just doesnt understand and then i swallow instantly. is this normal? how do i change my habits?:hungry:

It all takes time, be patient with yourself. Read, talk to others, listen and take it all in. We all are on the same path.

If you want to swallow before the food is mush, you have to put small amounts in your mouth and really think about it. You mouth was designed to work on automatic pilot so it takes practice.
