WARNING: Do not drink & surf!



Recommended Posts

So, here I was sitting at my computer (about 20 mins ago)....doing the surf thing and sipping on my Breakfast drink before I have to leave for work.

I was all comfy and settled....took a sip (okay, okay, a big sip!) of my drink, swallowed it and then felt like I was going to cough. I didn't feel too tight and just figured it was going to be an average, run-o-the-mill cough....big deal right?

So, I cough and as I started to cough I quickly realized "UH OH"....as my brain realized this was going to be a problem a little too late, it didn't have time to appropriately react and set up an effective defence.

So, ummmmmmmmmmm.....lets just say I completey spewed my chocolate milky concoction (witch's brew) as I coughed and it went ALL OVER the friggin' keyboard (do you KNOW HOW many nooks & crannies are in the keyboard that seem to yell out for my drink to flow into?), all over the front of my work uniform and on the rug. Now, I KNOW I did not swallow THAT much drink so I'm assuming much of it was chocolate covered slime.

*sigh*

Mr Yoda is going to killlllll me.

Hmmmmmm, unless I have successfully wiped up the mess (on the keyboard, table, rug, and chair!) and it dries before he gets home later today. I guess I'll be okay as long as he doesn't turn the keyboard upside down and shake it (no, something he is not prone to doing).

I guess he has a point when he says I shouldn't drink at the computer, eh? Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, I HATE it when he is always right!!!!!

Anyways....so be forewarned: don't drink and surf....or at the very least....don't drink, cough and surf!

:D

Blame it on the dog. If you dont have one, get one before DH gets home. Or a baby, they are pretty good for puking too.

The only time I have ever had issue with drinking like that---I did the same, but I was only drinking tea...and since it was unsweetened, it was not a big issue---but it hit sudden just like that!

I have thought for years, that the diet soda industry was missing out on a HUGE selling point (especially now with the Splenda diet drinks), by not pointing out to Mom's, that diet drinks when slopped or spilled---are not sticky. They do not ruin the keyboard (!), or the remote, and you do not have to mop the kitchen floor 5 times...once works. I will occasionally stop by a drive thru and grab an iced tea to have to sip on while shopping or something, and I hate it when they bring it out to me, and the cup it is in is sticky....eeewww.

Hope your keyboard survives the chocolate spew!!

Good idea but knowing Mr Yoda as I do, a dog (or a baby for that matter!) would be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay worse than spilling somethin' on the keyboard!!!

You see, now he will be relieved all he needs to do is get a new $20 keyboard.

Yoda,

I read this the other day and it made me remember much younger days and spilling a coke in the phone I was operating... it wasn't just a phone but it was the switchboard... about 5 mins later as I was panicing that no one would get calls at the investment firm I was working at... a bell dude walked in and made it all so much better.

I avoid keeping drinks and food near the laptop cause I know I am just that much of a klutz.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
