I've lost my manners



Recommended Posts

I was just eating some scrambled eggs at work, at my desk, and the texture was off, too hard, so with out thinking I spit it back on to my plate.

I didn’t even think someone might be looking. The second the food hit the plate I look up with a line of spit from my lip still attached to the yucky little pile, just to catch a co-workers’ eye.

Nice.

That’s right, I might be getting all sexy-fine as another co-worker calls me. But that, that was really hot. I'm so proud.

Sorry, but that was just about the funniest thing I have ever read on this board.....

I hear ya though, I hear ya. I want to be able to spit something out whenever and wherever I please too. :eek:

I have lost all manners, for sure, since being banded. I went to a concert last Friday night; something got a little stuck while tailgating. I swear I was 'spitting' like a man. Actually got to the point where I was checking to see how far I could heave it. I know; how lady like.

Even as I write this; I have a styrofoam cup on my desk. My 'spitoon'. Yup; don't care - gotta do, what I gotta do.

Worst one yet; at my parents and just 'dumping food' out of my mouth that I just KNOW will get stuck. It's almost like an immediate reaction now.

Ahhhh, I love my band.

That was great, Juli. Don't let that get you down. Wait until you have to run out of a resturant, to froth, before you pay the bill.

Thats a little embarrasing, too. Especially when some one runs after you, because they think you are trying to stiff them on the bill. :>[ I try to keep lots of napkins handy.

I spit a lot, & there is always that string of slobbers. YUCK!!!

That really did make me spit capuccino.

I laugh because I UNDERSTAND. Especially the long string of slobbers....ew.

I had former Iron guts. NOTHING made me gag.

Banding has given me a gag reflex that I never had before. I like those prepared heat and serve Knorr Soups, but the other day I got a twig type thing in my mouth. Before banding, I'd just have swallowed it, but now, NEVER. So this gag reflex is new to this girl.

I guess that is why I have found this thread so funny.

NO funny stories here, yet, but I am enjoying reading.

I was PBing sushi on Sunday as I was driving down the highway. I ran out of the restuarant into my car because I didn't want to be inappropriate in the restaurant. UGH.

I should have gone to the toilet there, but I get that glassy I've just thrown up look after a simple PB look and I didn't want them to be suspicious. I go there all the time and I was only one of 3 customers. The guys working were all very chatty....

How happy was I to have a bag in the car. I'm keeping gallon ziplocks in the glovebox for just that reason!!!

Man I love you guys. This is just cracking me up.

I have had this lung crap for almost a year and I hack and cough all the time and instead of using tissues up I cut up a bunch of "wipe-all's" (Work shop type towles super thick) that I get from work and Spit into those because I just cant spit with out the trails all over my shirt.

Would this work for the slimes?

i so just use a trash can or something, or just spit out the window.

the first time it happened, i was at a family dinner and everyone was starring at me like i was about to spontaniously combust or something, i just excused myself and took care of everything. i think i might freak my family out sometimes :-)

you guys are so funny...:rolleyes:

While on vacation we went out to eat at this really nice place and yes I had to get rid of something.....something coming up really fast. I jumped up, ran to the bathroom and right as I opened the stall door it was coming out of my mouth. All I could do was aim. Well....I missed. It hit the seat and some poor lady's foot next door. She was so concerned about the stranger throwing up on her foot she waited for me to come out of the stall, to ask me if I was ok.

      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.
