Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Terri They want you to take 30 min. to eat your meal and to chew each bite well. Believe me, there will be times in that first year when you will have food in your mouth and you suddenly realize there is no-way you will be able to swallow it. Because the time you took between bites, you had the delayed " i'm stuffed to the brim " reaction. Sooo when you eat in the beginning it is advisable to take small bites, put down your fork, chew well, swallow, wait a minute, then take another bite. By eating slowly you give your body time needed to react to the food and this can help keep you from vomiting due to eating that " one bite too many " . After you have " recovered " and your stomach has had time to heal you can eat and chew normally. Although it is always a good idea to chew your food well.

Your tummy has be assulted by the surgery and needs a bit of time to heal, so treat it gently at first. Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 LOL, WOW - I missed that line in the binder! Would it have mattered though? Probably not! I have tried in the past to chew each bite for even 3 minutes and the food tends to dissolve in your mouth by the time you chew several times (unless it is some REALLY tough and dry beef jerkey!) I have always been a gulper and a swallower, not a chewer.....I tend to finish eating before anyone else is half through, I rarely chew completely and I probably SHOULD chew better for digestions sake, but I have had no ill effects from NOT chewing so until it causes a problem I am not planning to change my habits! 30 minutes? WOW? That's a new one for me! Cindee - In DS_Friends_Keshishian , " Marta S. " <mjs93311@y...> wrote: > > and it says to > > take 30 minutes to chew and eat each bite.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 WHEW!! 30 minutes to eat a full meal makes much more sense! Yes, I do gulp my drinks and I don't always chew food as long as I probably should BUT I do now take my time with meals compared to my previous eating habits! I have learned to read my body well and if I even feel a twinge that I am close to getting full, I will wait a few minutes and usually I get a complete feeling of fullness without feeling over- stuffed. Rarely do I ever get over-full and vomiting hasn't happened since immediately post-op.... Cindee > - In DS_Friends_Keshishian , " Marta S.
