It's your body's way of trying to lubricate the food so whatever is stuck will go down. Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

IKR - he's done some other cool songs too. There is actually some pretty ace Europop out there if you can get over not understanding the lyrics LOL Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

Oh gosh I remember this so well from my lapband days. I would eat something that didn't agree with me and then gooey salivery throw up. What the heck body, where did all this goo come from??? Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

It just occurred to me, I wonder if this completely irrelevant letter is him covering his arse for never getting back to me and refusing to give O/S referral because I've put in the reimbursement paperwork. Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

Yep that was me too - very hungry - and I had the bypass. I'm finding I'm relearning what fulness and satiety are because I can eat a fair bit (I don't get much of a hard stop signal) but if I don't eat a big quantity and just eat a measured amount, half an hour later I'm fine, not looking to eat more.

Ooooh that's unusual. I'm famiar with Math Rock, but Trip Hop's a new one for me Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

Well give us help with genres - Britpop? Classical? Ska? Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

So turns out there is a veggie option [emoji818]️ let's just hope it's not full of starchy carbs and fat. Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

One of the voices of sanity! Ahh well, real life has to take precedence. Good luck, mate. Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

Thanks guys, Imma ring today and find out what the options are. If there isn't doable, I'll sneak a protein bar and some nuts in my bag and work with coffee. Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

Lads! Who knew scallops would give you so much bang for your buck? I had them for din dins tonight with some steamed Brussels sprouts and a tbsp of Nandos light marinade and zomg they were so good. Soft but very filling! Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

When I was growing up in Australia scallops fried in batter were A Thing at the fish and chip shop. I remember having them as a kid along with potato cakes and the 'fish' was usually shark (we're a weird mob) mmmmmm... Obvs that's a no-no now. Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

Bahaha I'm in Europe, we like socialists this side of the pond hahahah Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

Oh yikes, I had no idea. I've never taken it because my mother had heard it can cause some health problems in young females and she banned me from it and then when I grew up I never got in the habit to take it. I just always remember hearing ppl on the telly say things like "take two aspirin and call me in the morning" [emoji16] Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

This is getting rather philosophical. Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

I know. I'm not good at it either. But I figure it's got to be better to try believing the universe is benevolent and giving me what I need at every moment* than t'other way around. * I am completely dependent on everything other than me - even my body won't work without squidillions of bacteria in my gut doing whatever it is that bacteria in my gut do. It's a bloomin' miracle I'm here: Just one ancestor who got eaten by a sabre-tooth tiger instead of mating and no ummyasmin. In the face of that, what other appropriate response is there but gratitude? Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

I follow a teacher who says that reality reflects back our own nature to us. If we look out at the world with predatory, judgemental eyes, then that is what gets reflected back to us. If we look out with curious, compassionate eyes, that is what gets reflected back. I know which I prefer [emoji7] Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

I was not able to upload pix at all yesterday. I wonder if there's a bugaboo. Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app
