I cannot figure out how to keep my food warm.. I had an egg with some cream of wheat yesterday for Breakfast, by the time I had only eaten a little bit, the food was cold.. how can you eat as slow as they want you to and keep your food warm? My nutritionist says to take 1 minute between bites.. well, your food is stone cold by the time you have eaten a little bit..I hate to keep re-warming my food everytime I eat.. what has everyone else done.. I start regular foods in a few days and I am not sure how that is going to work ... I had chili yesterday for lunch and it was stone cold in a few minutes.. yuk....

I have the same problem with no solution. It may be one of those things we have to adjust too.

You can buy cup warmers. Set your cup or bowl on that and it should stay warm, I don't know if a plate would work though.

I've been instructed by my physician to eat 20 bites in 20 minutes and wait 40 seconds between each bite. I've been doing better at it..I swear I think I need a digital timer to keep track of it...lol

There is a free app called Eat Slower that you can put on your phone. I use it every meal.

Prior to be banded, I couldn't stand eating food once it cooled but now it's just normal. Il seems its one of those things I have adjusted to

Can you spell Microwave? Gotta do something while waiting for the next bite. Since I eat Protein first, I don't even serve up my veggies until I am ready for them. Baby warming plates have been used!

yes I certainly can spell Microwave...I felt that some of the long term band folks might give me some ideas.. but that is okay I will figure it out on my own.. I am not stupid just new to the process... Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

I don't like to keep reheating in the microwave either. Something that was moist wont be after a couple of sessions in there. The cup warmer is a pretty interesting idea though. I wonder if that would work?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
