Having A Rough Day...

[jhbk2008 5]

Seems like no one understands what I'm going through so of course I turn to you guys. Having a rough day at work... Been trying to stay included during lunch time with my co-workers so I'm still "eating" with them. Got lost in the moment and ate too fast and scared the crap out of myself. Pain, vomiting,hot flash. And they all looked at me like I lost my mind. Have to say..not my best moment.

I'm sorry about that episode you experienced, and I was thinking maybe you could find a support group in the city you reside in? The more support the better. hope you are feeling better!

I had the same thing. Got tired of eating alone so went to sit with coworkers with my small bowl of chili. I felt really awkward eating so little so I ate too fast. I'm not going to try that again till I feel more comfortable with my purées. Hang in there. I know it will get easier.

I'm in love w/this forum. But I have a couple of people who I can call or text w/any questions or experiences I have. My mentor in this thing is a client of mine who had the same surgery I had 2 1/2 months ahead of me, & she's been invaluable to me. There's an extra sense of comfort & comradere in knowing I have someone in the flesh who is sharing in my experience. If u can't find a VSL buddy, I highly recommend a 12 Step group, of which I also belong, where there are people who know exactly where your mind is. Altho this forum is awesome, nothing replaces actual people. Hang in there! It gets better!

I'm sorry this happened! Don't give up! I know what it is like to feel like the only one TRYING to get along with everyone. Next time maybe concentrate on the conversation going on at the lunch table and less on your food. You know...chat, chat, chat...bite...chat, chat, chat...bite, repeat. I say this not being a good conversationalist myself so take it as it is, just a thought, nothing I've practiced.

I am so sorry you had to go thru this but now you know your limit, I guess that is good right? Good old fashioned practice i all you can do. Best of luck!

Sometimes we learn our lessons the hard way! I have for sure. Sometimes I forget I had the procedure and realize when I'm eating. Thank goodness I don't experience any bad side effects. I wish I did though, that would make me think twice. LOL
