swallowing

[duncan]

What are peoples tricks to do when wanting to swallow food before you have chewed 20 times.

I was told take smaller mouthfuls, use a child's fork, and if I feel like swallowing too soon to pause chewing, relax and then start chewing gain. However, once I have a restriction that if after twenty chews the food is my mouth is not a paste consistency then to spit the food out (attractive vision me thinks! )

I use a child's fork all the time ... but was never given the twenty twenty rule when I had my band. So swallow when I feel ready I don't think I have as tight restriction as a lot of banders though
