i'm never eating in public again!

[Desi80 1]

Well atleast not for while.

While out christmas shopping, my daughter and i stop at chic-filet. I decide to get a 6 piece nugget. BAD IDEA. I took to big of bite and oops stuck. So instead of just sitting there in pain, i drink some tea thinking that will help break it up and make it pass...BAD IDEA. SO i PB i was able to hide it in a napkin, but then the pain gets worse and i know i'm in for a full on vomit. So i quickly run to the womens bathroom...door is locked someone is in there. So i'm pacing the hall begging the band to be merciful , i waited as long as i could but no it insisted on coming up, So i quickly pop open the lid in my drink and proceed to vomit into my cup...as the bathroom door swing opens. Of course the lady asks if i'm ok. I just mumble something and high tail it out of there totally mortified. Can I add this to my "have you ever regreted getting the band" list LOL

Oh I can bet my kids would be rolling on the floor laughing if I did that. Its horrifying to think of it happening but I guess it does to nearly everyone eventually. I think I do not want to eat out for a good few months, lol.

Oh, with this fill, i don't dare eat anything in public. If it isn't a PB it is the most amazing noises! belching and gurgling and weird squeeky noises...

No, I try to avoid eating with anyone these days.

I'm so hearing ya on the noises thing. I gurgle constantly and boy is it embarassing lol. That said, I don't let it stop me from eating in public, as I've had one bad PB in public and that taught me. I'm very picky when we go out as to what I'll even attempt to eat now.

I've also recently learned to just say screw it and if someone gives me a weird look when I gurgle or comments on how little I eat, I just hit em with the "I've had weightloss surgery and <fill in the blank>"

I've been surprised on how interested they've all been - not one bad comment so far.

Mine can evidentally be heard 10,000 miles away, as my mum asked me when we were speaking on the phone last week, "What in the world is that noise?? Are you BURPING?!?"

Poor thing, I am so sorry. I am so scared to get sick in public that I try to order seafood. If I eat other things, I eat realllllll slow...chew to death....swallow.....wait....and repeat. LOL Lately I have been doing mostly liquids at work, maybe some nuts or chips and have food when I get home. I have been eating either too much, too fast or the wrong foods because I have been pbing almost every evening. Oh now that I say that 2 days it was a potato roll sandwich. I love potato rolls but they don't like me. Last night I had some lima Beans, turkey neck over rice. That stuff really didn't like me, I guess it was the rice. I will try just the beans this evening.

After my first and only fill, I've had to get reaquainted with my band. Sometimes these things sneak up on you. Funny before fill chicken was no problem, after fill chicken is a big problem!,

Teressa, I think it was the Turkey! Makes me PB every time.

Oh Karen! Baby! Yeah, I expect you don't get a second if you barf on your date

[MsButterKup23 1]

I'm so with you ladies! I am a carry-out person, if not they must have a multi-stall restroom. I can vomit quietly if need be. LOL

OK--don't want to brag, but I think I have the most embarrassing puke. We just recently came off a 7 day cruise in the Caribbean. Well, I think I had a PB with every meal, no matter what I ate. it was so fast, that all my reflexes did was get the napkin (they have nice, large, linen napkins) to my mouth just in time. Now, delimma, what do you do with the napkin????? Can't throw it away, somebody with the cruiseline would be sure to notice that, they are so attentive, I didn't want to leave it at my table, ewwww gross, not to mention that the servers REMEMBER you the entire week, so the few times that I did not make it to the bathroom,Imade it into the napkin and disposed of them very discreetly. Once as we were leaving the dining room, (for breakfast) I just happened to lean against a table that had not been cleaned off yet and put it there, (I know I know--sorry) The second time at dinner, they were having the wait staff sing and dance so people were up out of there seats and I managed to non chalantly wander over to the scrap bucket that they use and put it in there, the third bad time, I had my napkin with me as I was heading as quickly as I could to the ladies room, didn't make it but it all fit nicely in the napkin and when I went to the ladies room that one went into the trash. Since I have been home, I have not had issues, so I am assuming that it was the way things were prepared. I know the meat was dry, so I tried to stick to seafood. Oh what a nightmare!! Think they knew it was me??
