time between bites



Recommended Posts

When I put my fork down, someone will ask me if I'm done eating. LOL maybe I'm putting it down dramatically, I'm not sure. Maybe I have an "I'm done " look, but I draw attention to myself. I don't care too much, I just say, I'm just taking a break. Or I hold my Water glass (I don't drink) and I fid I'm not asked if I'm done.

If I am eating a new food, or a food I'm scared to get stuck on, and I happen to see a digital clock, I'll wait a minute before the next bite. But it's really to get me into new habits until I naturally wait that amount of time.

I am a clock watcher when I eat. I eat one bite per minute timing after I swallow. I put my fork or spoon down so I'm not tempted to take a bite too early. I have had people at restaurants think I was finished eating because I wasn't holding my fork.

Elcee you are right! I had my first experience today getting into trouble eating too fast. It was a bad situation little time to eat so I at my food bite after bite no waiting..... boy did that hurt! I thought things would get worse because I wasn't swallowing my saliva but I made myself calm down and I could feel every piece go through. It all worked out and no emergency deflation. Won't do it again was a lesson learned

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
