Cold Food... yuk

[Sharpie 3,306]

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'll be curious if anyone has tips on this. My food is forever getting cold.

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

Unless we start eating on hot plates or sternos!

You can get hot plates from Amazon.com

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 was never gold yo wait minute between bites.

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

Same here, by the time the Proteins half gone the veggies are cold...

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!

[Sharpie 3,306]

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?
