HOW TO GUIDE for Chewing and Spitting



Recommended Posts

I am doomed, I can't even spit it out at a wine tasting!

Going to a wine tasting is an entire other spectrum than an ALCOHOLIC swishing alcohol and spitting.

Yes. The only spitting I would advocate doesn't involve chewing first.......

Well, if you're an alcoholic I don't think it's advocated. As it could lead you down a very slippery slope.

I think you are misunderstanding me. Perhaps I should have added a 'lol' to indicate the humorous intent that was perhaps lost on others. Made me giggle though so I am happy.

It's usually the newbies who want justification for continued bad behavior and get upset when there is a dissenting opinion.

I agree with Laura- don't do it. It's a slippery slope which can lead to additional serious eating disorders.

Common now, even us newbies realize how ridiculous and nutty the OP is. Chew and spit? No one likes teeth and I prefer to swallow. ;)

I did not mean to offend you. I'm not saying all newbies have such ridiculous thoughts. However, it has historically been people who are new to the forum, that try to stir things up, and are seeking approval for bad habits. I'm glad you're not one of them and welcome to the forum. Good luck to you.

Admins are not here to censor people. They are here to make sure forum rules are not being broken and it's my thought that this provoked some important conversation about a serious eating disorder. I am glad the OP deleted his original post so as not to encourage more disordered habits, but the discussion that followed is needed as this is an issue that comes up regularly. :)

Just my opinion!

If you didn't read the original thread...consider yourself lucky. It was a long diatribe about safe and practical ways to chew and spit. It was a terrible case of enabling a nasty eating disorder. The admins were all over this thread immediately, but no rules were broken so no censoring needed to be done. It was however, horribly irresponsible and in completely poor taste.

I normally don't like it when an OP deletes his original thread, but in this case I'm glad he did. It was just too reckless and someday, some one was going to read it and feel it was a green light to start a brand new eating disorder that was not present in their lives prior to WLS.

      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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
