Watching Ppl Eat Is Gross



Recommended Posts

Has anyone post surgery watched your family eat? I'm watching my mother eat a sandwich and the size of the bites she's taking and how fast she's eating is really making me nauseous. No wonder I was fat if I ate like that. Has any one else felt like that? Omg.

I can't eat with anyone right now. My husband used to eat so slow I thought, but now he disgusts me. I'm wondering where his table manners went.

I know what you mean. I went to lunch with co workers a couple of days ago. I ordered chicken Soup. I could only sip a few spoonfuls of the broth. But in between I was watching everyone eat. I dont know if I was jealous because I couldnt drink and eat, but it was like eating with a pac of wolves. And I was overwelmed and couldnt sip anymore of the Soup. I starting thinking OMG did I used to look like that ?

Yes :( I really try not to get grossed out, but I can't help it. I guess it's because I get so full on just a few bites I CAN NOT IMAGINE eating all that food anymore :( !!! But I try not to judge, they can't help it, they don't have sleevie.

Pretty much the only people I have a hard time watching eat are my dad and my roommate. (Off-topic, but my dad lost 100 pounds basically just cutting out fast food. He still eats whatever, drinks soda, eats ice cream, etc. It's not fair, really. :P)

Anyways, he eats really fast, taking in huge bites, and eats a lot. We went to a spaghetti dinner for a charity and I had a few bites of mine and gave the rest to my dad. He was still wanting more after almost two plates of spaghetti, a salad, two pieces of bread, and a piece of cake. I almost got ill just watching.

My roommate just inhales food. He'll take another bite before the last one he took is even swallowed. I remind him to slow down and that the food's not going to run away if he doesn't eat it slower. He doesn't eat a lot, but has a great metabolism even though he eats the worst kinds of food. He weights 170 and is 6'3" and can eat to his heart's content without gaining an ounce. I tease him by saying I just have to think about food and I'll gain five pounds. :P

Same problem I stress over the size of thebites everyone is taking and how fast. I had these beef tenderloin bacon bite things. I cut it into 8 pieces for me. My husband picked one up and put one whole one in his mouth! I had a panic moment. I sometimes feel sick when i see the quantity they eat. I was out tonight and had 3 wings and other people at the table at 15! I know it is all in my head.

Kudo's to your dad for losing 100 lbs, by cutting out fast food.

I had this for quite some time. once we were at ihop and I actually had to go to the washroom as I got sick by watching my family eat 3eggs, 4 toasts, potato, ham... Argh.

Now, 14 months later, it no longer bothers me but at some point it was really bad to see how much people eat, and how much i was eating before surgery.

It's absurd even a while out of surgery. I went out to dinner with my fiance tonight. I had 2 sliders (with the top bun off) and a slice of pizza and was absolutely stuffed. He had 2 sliders, with all the bread, and 9 slices of pizza. It's quite unbelievable, really.

I am totally disgusted by eating out with my hubby. He eats, and eats, and eats, and he eats really fast. He reminds me of a vulture waiting for my left overs. i feel kinda guilty because he is a very supportive, sweet, husband. But he's also diabetic with high chlesterol and blood glucose is out of control. ;)

I have to admit that I don't have this issue at all. I know that as a high-volume eater, I used to eat a lot more than any of my other family members (and sometimes more than all of them combined!), so there's no reason their eating should bother me. I just make jokes about how many leftovers there are nowadays with me pretty much out of the picture (quite true, it's ridiculous how much food I used to consume).

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
