Eat slower. You set the interval and it chimes every time you should take a bite

My surgeon said chew 30 times. When I was first out of the hospital and started on semi-soft food I would forget to chew the 30 times and I would swallow and I knew that I would be getting sick and boy did I get sick quite a few times.... I learned real quick to chew, chew, chew and chew some more !!!

I am 5 weeks out and still trying to perfect the chewing thing. I was a fast eater so I am working really hard to slow down and chew, chew, chew. It is so hard.

I do chew everything to mush...I just do so very fast. Used the app set at 45 seconds this morning and it helped

I don't time it but I put my fork down between every bite and move my hands away. I just chew until it's soft and mushy, and I take pencil-tip eraser-sized bites.

Is it "eat slower pro" for 99 cents?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
