So tired of cold food...



Recommended Posts

Don't get me wrong, I love my sleeve, but I haven't had an entire hot meal since January 12. I cook my Protein, put it on the plate, sit down, take a little bite, chew, chew, chew, put down the fork, wait a minute, take another bite, and repeat the process. By about bite 3 the food is cooling and by bite 6 it's cold. If I eat too fast I get the foamies so I eat slowly. I have tried warming in the microwave but that just seems to dry the food out and overcook it. I have tried to get used to cold meals like shrimp and chicken salad, but sometimes I want to eat something piping hot. I think that's why I enjoy my morning coffee so much, it's HOT.

Anyone else feel this way or have suggestions?

The child plate idea is good, I personally eat most of my stuff out of a coffee mug, and while I can eat fast enough now to not need it - I would imagine one of those coffee mug warmers would help keep it toasty.

I eat most of my food from baby bowls. I use the ones that you can put the hot Water in. It keeps everything warm for you, and helps control portion size.

I don't like my food cold either....we've always warmed our plates under hot Water or put them in the microwave before we put our food on them. That helps some....I do NOT eat as slowly as I did in the beginning. I finish first most of the time, but my food stays warm! Someone said to sprinkle with Water to reheat, that does help.

      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! 😞
