I know this is probably the dumbest of questions but I’m having a serious dilemma with regards to pacing the time between mouthfuls of food. It’s not that pacing each mouthful of food is a problem but I find my meal always gets cold and I’m continuously reheating in the microwave and in the end the food just goes hard as it’s been microwaved way too much. Am I eating way too slow? I’m only on the purée stage but It’s becoming ridiculous reheating such a small amount of food!

No plugging a product. Have you tried one of these? Set your small bowl on it..it will keep your meal warm

At the hospital they gave me a small plastic spoon. It made it difficult to eat fast. I visited several stores and found one that sells these same size spoons but in metal. I have been using it for 5 years now and I don't really worry about eating too fast.

On a side note for microwave ovens. If you warm food in a normal oven or on an electric range and compare it with food heated in a microwave, the microwaved food returns to room temperature much quicker. That is my personal observation. it is probably related to why it is not recommended to cook meat in a microwave oven and only use it to reheat meat already cooked the conventional way because of microwaves do not kill bacteria efficiently. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/22/health/22real.html

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
