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

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
