Fear of eating in public at times?



Recommended Posts

I can totally relate!! I just got my fills right after being banded Dec. 29, 09. I am so afraid to eat in public. I never know when I will get plugged!!! :wink: It is not a pretty sight, oh my!! My hsb. loves to eat out, but I've told him to give a little while to get use to this. Let me know if yours gets better.:w00t:

I'm not banded yet so please forgive me for not knowing but what do you mean 'plugged'? Does this happen often??

Sleswick- I ate salad bc of my busy schedule with taking 7 classes, internship, and workstudy...When it came to eating, I had everything down pack. Would drink my choc live right shake 4 Breakfast eat an orange and bananna 4 snack then when Im close 2 school I would grab a salad n eat..,either a salad or a piece of fish..I found that the salad kept me full alot longer though, but I think its cause they added alot of crutons and chicken. Even though it souds fattning but it doesnt harm me because I manage to lose 5 pounds every week from it :w00t: sometimes I get stuck on my first few bites of the salad so I have to sit there and wait 5-10 minutes and then it will all go down

Micky- lmaoo that story is funny. I understand what you mean because I get stuck within the first few bites and I hate it! But once I spit it out a few times I can eat everything lol thats so wierd.

Lindajs- I think when she said "plugged" she meant throwing up

I had my 4th fill 1 wk ago today. For the first few days I could only get liq. down. As the days have passed I been getting better, My hsp & I went out to eat last night and I only got Soup because I was afraid to try anythig else and I did just fine. Today I can eat most anything (in small Qtys of course) so this is really new to me even though my band date was Dec. 31, 09 I am just now at my sweet spot?? Anyone else get better after a week?? Will it get any losser??:w00t:

The band becomes lose around your stomache after you lose alot of weight, thats why they encourage us to continue getting our fills after a great amount of weight loss

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
