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

      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'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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.

      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!
