Anyone that is about to get this surgery. Please practice eating and drinking slowly. You will be sorry that you didn't. I didn't practice and have paid several times for eating to quick. You really need to practice when you are really hungry and really thirsty, when we tend to drink and eat fast.

    One of the best things I have bought are the Glad 4oz. plastic bowls from Wal-Mart. It doesn't help slow my eating but I know that I can safely eat a bowlful and not overeat.

    It also makes the amount of food look bigger. It also makes it easier to stop eating, since I have to get up and go get more and heat it up if I really want more.

    The other day I was extra hungry for some reason and I at 6 bowls over the course of the day. That night I was worried and thinking, "Oh my god! I ate so much today!" And then I realized, I use to eat more in one meal than I did for that entire day. It really put things into perspective.

    I found some cocktail forks and spoons at World Market that help with the eating slower because the bites are smaller. Also putting down your fork after every bite helps too. Good luck and practice lots!
