Im nearly 7 weeks out. I am still finding it hard to eat at a decent pace instead of like a snail! If eat a bit quicker, I feel pains, you all know the ones i mean!!

How long did it take for you to get back to a normal pace? Im getting pretty fed up eating so slow. I dont want to gulp things down, just eat things at a decent speed!!!! Could i still be swollen?

Thanks as always

Hi-

How much time dos it take for you to eat your portion? Depending on what I eat, it takes from 5 to 20 minutes to eat. I think that is pretty normal. I am 2 months out.

I don't know about you, but I used to shovel food in like it was a contest. I can't do that anymore or I have pain or it comes back up. Now I take a bite, maybe two, put the fork down, chew, think, take another bite...I think this is the way thin people eat. I remember watching my size 4 friend eat dinner one time. She had five Triscuits and two cubes of cheese the size of dice. She chewed each bite very slowly. I asked her if that was all the dinner she was having and she nodded. Now my meals take about twenty minutes to eat, even the little bitty portions I have.

Life is different now.
