Tiny Bites! Chew! Chew! Chew!

I read and I read all of this before I was filled and now I know tiny bites and chew, chew, chew. It makes all the difference. I had food come up on me three times and it hurts. I am learning slow...very slow.

I am a fast eater and I slowed up after I was banded and thought I was eating slow and chewing. No! I needed to go even slower and take smaller bites. Makes a big difference. No one likes to "Puke" or have all that saliva come back up in your mouth. EWW! So listen to yourself....tiny bites...chew chew chew lol It's all true :thumbup:

Oh you're not the first person that learned the hard way the difference between chewing well and eating slow and REALLY taking small bites, chewing EXTRA well and eating EXTRA slow :) Yeap been there. After every fill you learn it over again and again as the opening for food to pass gets smaller and smaller. Good luck with your fill :)

I am on my second week of my first fill and doing better but still forget that I have to take it so very very slow I am learning it's crazy. I guess this all takes time.
