It is a constant battle that you will face from time to time throughout your journey, I'm 22 months post-op and still can catch myself eating too fast. What I try to do is go back to what I learned which is take a bite of food and then put the utensil down and chew, chew, chew it works if you are consciously eating and not eating looking at tv. LOL just a thought! I'm not perfect at it either so you're not alone - I also eat and do at 1 or 2 crossword so I don't just continue to put food in my mouth I concentrate on something else while I chew.
Foods that still make me gurgle are salsa (anything tomato based) beef and chicken - pork not so much which is odd and crabmeat I can eat like no ones business.
me too i am in my 6th week... I dont know why i cant make myself slow down.... i am feeling overwhelmed like i need to finish everything i eat.... i am struggling with retraingin my brain and i think i am sabatoging my wl... i havent exercised hardly since going back to work but i dont see or feel like im loosing weight like i was when i was on the 3 weeks of liquid diet . Now i am on soft foods for 3 weeks I really need to listen to my body and stop eating when my stomack feels full. I really need to throw the rest away.... best of luck to all.... i am thinkning about drinking more protein shakes and cut back on eating maybe that will jumpstart my wl:) i have a protein drink for breakfast but i eat soft foods like tuna, deli meat cheese sticks crackers etc. for lunch and i eat chopped roasted chicken, baked fish, sometimes chili from wendys with spincah etc for dinner. Im not hungrysomtimes but force myself to eat for protein purposes and to give myself a breAK FROM drinks. I struggle to get my water in daily its so hard!!! trying not to vent but i have to let out some steam and get back in the game. I am glad im not alone!
