I'm 6 months post surgery, and still have to take smaller bites...actually I eat most things with a fork and knife, which is easier. It's worked out well in terms of keeping the extra pounds off. I don't think I realized how much I ate at one sitting before!
I still use a bit more salt and a bit more sugar in my coffee, but for the most part taste is normal now.
Keep up the good work!
Oh, and ditto to Christine...I was gobsmacked when I read the story as well, and felt like my issues were just a bump in the road - certainly helped me through!
