Eating too fast.. Aaarrgh!

Hello! I am 8 weeks post op now and STILL having trouble eating slow! I am a busy mom of 5 and I just don't have the patience required to stretch a meal over 30 minutes. So, many times, I eat too fast and then get sick.

Anyone else struggling with this? Any practical tips?

I use baby utensils, but still too fast...

make it a great day

      Nine months out from VSG, I still eat too fast. Lately, I've been focusing on chewing my food much more because this naturally slows me down.

    Thanks so much for all the responses! I dont feel as alone in my struggle! I really thought i was the only one who doesn't learn from mistakes! After i ate too fast a couple of times, i thought I had surely learned my lesson! But, no! I had to repeat the same insanity! Again. And again. And again.

    But just hearing all of your support is already helping me focus more on slowing down. Thanks to all of you!????

    make it a great day
