Still learning how to eat

Jun 22, 2012

 When I was still going through my pre-surgery journey, my nutritionist did emphasize the need to take smaller bites and chew until my food was of an applesauce consistency. Honestly, I tried, but I found that too difficult to do.  Chicken chewed to applesauce consistency is NASTY, pork chewed to applesauce consistency is NASTY.  As a matter of fact, anything chewed that long loses some of its appeal half way through the chewing.  But again I have to be honest if only with myself, post surgery, that is the only way I will be able to eat.

I am finding that I fill up way too quickly.  I have also been pretty unsuccessful at telling when that moment is about to occur because I haven't been chewing enough and I haven't been taking my time with my meals.  Eating to fast is my biggest problem right now and I have to make a more conscience effort to slow it down.
