Eating without thinking

So tonight was our annual dinner before Halloween parade. During dinner (which I was just having Water still in puréed stage) while talking and laughing, I picked a French fry off my grandsons plate and popped it in my mouth. All conversation stopped at table and everyone looked at me, I then realized what I did. I was thinking in my head what should I do chew it or spit it out. My sister handed me a tissue and I spit it out. So happy that my family is on board with me. We all laughed about it, but I need to make sure in future to keep those fries across the table from me. Anyone else out there do this?

Good for you for catching yourself.. Just goes to show how much we eat without thinking about it.. And yes you're so lucky to have family support!

On this topic, I'm wondering about anyone's experience of the food Police Coming out in full force. For this reason, I never told anyone if I was trying to actively lose weight. Do you find that people are more critical of what you eat, or maybe they feel more justified in expressing it. I just want to be a normal eater...eat good most of the time, yet allow myself to live and eat some foods considered completely off-limits by some. Perhaps my philosophy will change in the next few months...we'll see.

I have shared my surgery with pretty much everyone who I interact on a regular basis. I did it in a way that I made this decision and I hope they will support me but not be my judge and jury. No one has policed me and I have great acceptance that I make my own decisions.

To original OP, if you are good with your sister doing that, wonderful. We all need help and support and it takes a long time to change lifelong habits.

Oh my gosh I totally dids the same thing! I was 5 days post op and was slicing a cantaloupe for my son. I always taste it to see how ripe the fruit is. I popped it in my mouth and swallowed it before I had time to think. I was so scared, it taught me a valuable lesson. For years I had eaten without thinking. I am now 7 months out 77 down and 20 from goal.

Yeah I am fine with my sister doing that. She had the sleeve 3 years ago. She just did not want me to get sick. My family does not police me though. I think they just were just as surprised as me. They have been very supportive. I am very lucky.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
