How do you eat slowly as a dispatcher?

We all know if it's quiet and we think about eating that is the time all H*** breaks loose and we are scarfing like a madman (women) I have my surgery on 12/01 and I am wondering how others have combatted eating to fast. I don't want to dump at work when I go back Renea

Well, if you cut your food up before you sit down to eat it, it helps. I had to actually sit down and have a break initially so I could chew chew chew though. Now I can sit and eat and apple without a problem. Each person and what they can do are different. Some people can't touch an apple with skin on, while I can eat it straight. Some have to chew extra long while others are pretty much like normal. I'm as close to normal as an RNY can get regarding eating at a normal pace and not having to chew things to death. You might try when you start back taking things like vienna sausages and other soft meats and protein sources so they don't take a lot of chewing. Dina
