Lip Smacking?

Have been watching a lot of youtube video blogs and notice a lot of people do a lot of lip smacking, as if to kswallow saliva between sentences, subtle, but I noticed. A little disturbing. Am I imagining this?

Oooohkaaay. Will have to dial down the radar a few notches. I thought it might have to do with not being able to swallow normally due to decrease stomach size.

I know you are being serious but this post along with your followup response made me chuckle. The sleeve takes some getting use to but after about 8 weeks we start adjusting to the fact our stomachs are small.

I was serious, and I too get irked with the smacking. Old men (i see a lot of geriatric patiemts) love to smack, makes me crazy!!! Hope it doesn't happen to me!

I think that they were thinking and/nervous. Some people just aren't public speakers. I noticed it as well. Think it's the equivalent to "um" lol. That's why everyone should go through some sort of community theater. Builds confidents and allows you to feel comfortable with people watching

I knew you were serious, but I have not noticed this... And I hope I don't become a smacker.
