Egg Salad--yum

[aliekat55 157]

this is not about a new egg salad recipe, but that i just graduated to eating egg salad and it was better than ever and i enjoyed every bit of the tiny portion i could have. i have figured out that despite the perceived slowness of my eating i am still going much too fast and the sleeve is protesting so i am timing my tiny bites. tuna salad is next! then perhaps chicken salad.

Does anyone eat Peanut Butter in the pureed stage? i am tempted but it is so thick that i am not sure. i thought of warming it up so it would be a bit runnier.

I am a too-fast eater. And it is HARD to change. I did get baby spoons (really... I look SO cute) and it does help some.

I too struggle with eating too fast. Does it get any easier and is it forever the having to go slow? Curious.

i presume that is the point of the surgery. i try to savor each tiny morsel.

I guess you have a good point there.

I learned to eat fast in Army Basic Training. If u didn't eat in 5 mins, u didn't eat. Was banded almost 4 yrs ago and was forced to slow down. But I persistently ate fast causing frquent vomiting and finally a slip. Since I've been sleeved, however, Im so scared of popping my staple line it takes 15 mins to eat 2oz of pea Soup.

Im 3 wks post op and looking forward adding creamy Peanut Butter next week for my soft food diet. I don't think its a full liquid and it slops up in ur stomach

For me at work sometimes I do not have time for lunch and eat on the way to a homevisit or at my desk. I will be returning soon on vacation time after medical and will be doing things differently.
