So I had a dream that I was sleeved, and 20 min after I ate a piece of chicken! Obviously I know better then this, but I'm so afraid of absent mindedly putting something in my mouth like when I make my husbands lunch for work or getting my kids a snack. My surgery is now weeks away and I'm so nervous! I'm just so used to taking a piece of this, or that, and I hope I can get myself to pay attention all the time!

Sorry for my little early morning rant lol. The dream really freaked me out!

I'm exactly the same... I don't even think about it and before you know it, I've already swallowed it! I'm hoping that changes after my surgery too. My op is on 2nd July, yours?

Chew gum or suck on a mint. Seriously. It's so easy to slip into those mindless habits. I caught myself stuffing a chip in my mouth packing the cooler for the pool and I have always tracked everything because of my perpetual WWs habit. (I wonder how much I missed tracking because of blind habit?)

I spit it out, got a Listerine breath strip (GAG O RAMA!!!) and went on about my lunch making. Now I keep a pack on the fridge to grab whenever I am cooking.

And yes, I chew gum AND drink through a straw, being the rebel that I am.

Dreams just allow us to process stuff... I've recently drempt of a bagel. Go figure. But you'll be post surgery and you'll know about your stomach 24/7 for a few weeks at least. Gum and Straws, Lipstick, you ARE a rebel!

I think the whole not allowed to chew gum thing is so ridiculous...in all the years ive chewed gum, I have never accidently swallowed some.

Sometime in July. I go to the surgeon on June 3rd to get my date and packet with the diets and stuff!

Yea, I think that's crazy. I've never swallowed gum.. Not since grade school lol

At 1 week out a friend came to visit. I made her some guacamole and without thinking tasted it for spice adjustment. Thank goodness I realized it and spit it out.

I will try the listening trick.

I am two weeks out. Made a cake when I was at home visiting family and licked the spatula without even thinking. I thought I had killed these bad habits. Now I am being even more vigilant in my day to day behavior.

I think I missed something along the way. I am 7 months out and didn't know that you can't taste test you recipes or chew gum. I don't chew gum anyway but if I did I definitely wouldn't swallow it because when I was a kid my Mum told me that if you swallow gum you blow bubbles out your arse when you fart and it sticks your panties to you.

Hahahahaha! That's so funny!

You cant taste test if you are not to that stage yet..she had tasted guacamole when she was probably still on liquids. And most drs say not to chew gum because if you do swallow it which most adults consciencely know not too it can cause a mess in your stomach
