Questions is eating slow a life time commitment? I feel like I'm always eating cold food[emoji51]

I had that thought today when I got to the end of my purée potato lol.

I'm 5 weeks out and it's probably one of the most difficult things for me [emoji31].

I'm 2 1/2 months in and it's still hard for me. Is anyone having a problem with pain on the left side tho?

you will always want to eat slow to give your body time to register what you have eaten. yes.. the food gets cold quickly. I used some thermal cups for Soup in the early months. I am about 5 months and have to remind myself to slow down. I work in a fast paced office, so slowing down for lunch is hard for me. you won't always have to eat as slowly as you are now, but it is a good practice. I have, too many times, been caught eating too fast (now that I can physically do it a little more) and then am miserable for a long time. It is better to take it easy.

Two months out and I find that eating slow is still my biggest challenge.

As I began to eat more, I found the smaller snacks I eat only take a few minutes to eat. I turn the timer on my phone on to help me slow down.

I also found that I can make a protein drink last longer than food.

There is a funny post observation someone made that you know you are a wls patient when you are a connoisseur of cold food that used to be warm! It is so true.

Keep up the good fight. I find that I have just gotten used to it but eating slow is important. All the best!

I bought a yeti cup. It keeps beverages cold or hot for 24-35 hours. I use this for my coffee, shakes soups. I read to buy baby food warmers for food. Might try that for when I'm home. But I'm also getting use to cold food. Haha
