How long does it take you to eat a meal?

holly,
unfortunately it does slow down. i dropped about 65 very quickly (Oct - Dec) then it slowed down.

Prior to being banded I would wolf down my food quickly. I don't time myself now but it takes long enough that my food is getting cold. I'd say at least 15-20 minutes.

I voted under five minutes because I can eat very little since my last fill and after a few bites I'm full. I have learned not to push myself and make myself eat more when my alien baby (band) tells me I'm full.

I put 15-20 but to call what I eat a meal is a bit of an exag. I can't eat even a small amount fast anymore, boy did that take getting used to. Pain IS a wonderful teacher. hahahaha.

Do you find that exercise really helps to lessen the "slow down"? I am thinking about joining the Gym again and start weight training, and wondered what your experience has been, or anyone else's, before I commit.
