Guest guest Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 When Dr. Roe (the surgeon Ethel and I use) gives his presentation he talks about how at first when you get back to eating its usually about 3 bites before you reach the " full point " but the 4th could put you over into painful zone. Its his way to tell us to learn to take small bites, chew alot, stop and think before the next bite. You know the new way to learn how to eat. I had to relearn what sipping meant while in the hospital and already sent my Mom out to get me a couple sets of baby utensils in order to KNOW I will take small enough bites. Here's how the good doc breaks it down: 1 bite - chew chew chew - sit think - realize oh that's good food 2 bite - chew chew chew - sit think - decide to take another bite of something 3 bite - chew chew chew - sit think - realize hmmm my belly feels a bit full 4 bite - chew chew chew - sit think - realize oh man I should never have had that bite - ouch Of course this will probably change slightly as one becomes more post op but for the most part the concept remains a good one. I am really looking forward to when I get to test out the 3 bite rule - heck I am looking forward to soups with more substance than broth next week .. lol Melanee in Baltimore - who answered for Ethel since I know she's having server problems and I was the one she directed the reminder to. Hope you don't mind Re: hi guys Ethel-- What is the 3 bite rule? Rev.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 Our Dr. Roe has a 3 bite rule , take a bite -wait 3 minutes,( even if you have to put egg timer at your plate for awhile,)take a second bite -wait 3 minutes ,talk to your family slow down , take a third bite ,By then your head is telling you that your are getting full, today is my one year anniversary and i still use it ,even in resturant ,get where you can see a clock or use your watch, i am 118 lbs. lighter and very grateful to him for that rule , Ethel Rev.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 Hi Ethel, Happy Anniversary.......... wow.... one year ago. How great. And what wonderful weight loss. So proud of you. Hugs, Jules Romero 381/245/160 Lap RNY 5-29-2002 I read this article that said the typical symptoms of stress are: impulse buying, and driving too fast. Are they kidding? That is my idea of a perfect day. hi guys > > > sorry i am having trouble posting from my browser so me and my server > are going to have another rumble tomorrow, but i wanted to thank > you all > for your support at this time, melanee hope you are better ,and arn`t > we lucky not to have that big scar? enjoy that first bite of KFC > potatoes > and gravy that is heaven and all your foods will taste better, > remember > the 3 bite rule Dr. Roe told us at power point ,and you will be fine, > welcome to newbies and will be in touch Ethel > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 --- Hey, what a great attitude! I just posted in the other group, asking you about whether or not you wanted the tummytuck. LOL. You look fantastic, what great before and after pics. Happy Birthday. Mine was in January. Doesn't it feel great? I'm still trying to break this 2-3 month plateau I've been on. My stress level has improved somewhat. Of course, it would improve a great deal more if things were better at the other place. I don't want to lose it, it's home, and I think it might be on its' last leg. It means a lot to me, and I don't want it to fade away. I thought things would improve if I pulled back, to take care of myself, but it's almost as if no one cares about the new people who need answers. I do. I want it to thrive. I saw where you tried to help, thanks so much. Have a great day.
