Eating takes forever

 My Goodness...  I am so sick of it taking so long for me to get a meal down.  I know this is exactly what I signed up for, but it sucks to have to reheat your food 1 or two times before its gone...  

Just ranting... :) 

Monday I will be 3 weeks Post-Op and other than that little complaint, I am doing fabulous! 

Lol....I feel your pain....I'm 3 wks post op on Tuesday ....and as I'm sitting here eating cold carrots...I feel your pain....lol  

Funny how plans vary - I was "taught" to eat until I felt full or for 15 minutes maximum and stop, whether I had finished my food or not - the idea was to give my pouch time to feel satiety before overeating - it was a great way to stop me overeating once I could eat more food. I am always full way before my food goes cold!

I hope it gets better for you!

I feel your pain! Thursday was 3 weeks post op for me. I have pretty much resolved myself to eating the last half of my meals at room temperture.  

Glad you are doing well. And I am with you, room temperture food is a pretty small thing to live with.  Good luck on your journey!!!

I struggle with this too and I'm 5 wks post op.

 I remember feeling that way...in fact, it made food much less appetizing. However, it gets better!!! I've heard of some people using a warming plate. 

```Wow....15 minutes to eat??? It takes me 20 minutes just to eat my 2oz of protein!! My dietician told us we should take 30-40 min to eat our meals!! If I stopped at 15min im afraid I wouldnt get all my protein in! Then again....we were instructed to eat a bite the size of a pencil eraser.  I think...im just gonna warm up the portions as i get to them lol.  Cold veggies again for dinner tonight ...so yep I think im gonna do that tomorrow lol.
