Too full! NEED ADVICE!

I eat too fast. This was also a problem before surgery. I eat so fast, I don't know I'm full till I get up from eating and then I'm stuffed! I need advice. I am terrified of stretching out my nice, new tummy. What tricks do y'all use to SLOW DOWN???? Are there any? I have tried to follow everything and do it right but I am still having trouble with this!!

    I am terrible with the wait-between-bites rule. My food goes down pretty fast. I slimed a lot in first few months; now, not so much. However, I still chow down pretty quickly. This is one rule I am probably not going to master, but it is working out be ok as I still eat the limited quantities of 3-5 oz of food per meal. Try and do better then I did and heed the advices others on his thread. There will be less sliming that way. :)
