Slow Down!

Oh my goodness. I am so thrilled that I had this done on August 5th. But right now my biggest challenge is eating slowly! I am learning as we all know, it is very uncomfortable when you don't, but I am constantly reminding myself to slow down! I even bought baby spoons. It takes me two hours to get down a Protein shake after much practice of sipping. Today I moved to soft foods so I am trying to get in that habit as well.

Thanks for all of your support. I really love getting on this site and seeking out advice.

      At 11 weeks post-op, I feel like I eat too fast most of the time. I don't have any issues from it, but all that chew to a paste business has not been the case for me. YMMV.
