I've lost my manners



Recommended Posts

I was just eating some scrambled eggs at work, at my desk, and the texture was off, too hard, so with out thinking I spit it back on to my plate.

I didn’t even think someone might be looking. The second the food hit the plate I look up with a line of spit from my lip still attached to the yucky little pile, just to catch a co-workers’ eye.

Nice.

That’s right, I might be getting all sexy-fine as another co-worker calls me. But that, that was really hot. I'm so proud.

Sorry, but that was just about the funniest thing I have ever read on this board.....

I hear ya though, I hear ya. I want to be able to spit something out whenever and wherever I please too. :eek:

I have lost all manners, for sure, since being banded. I went to a concert last Friday night; something got a little stuck while tailgating. I swear I was 'spitting' like a man. Actually got to the point where I was checking to see how far I could heave it. I know; how lady like.

Even as I write this; I have a styrofoam cup on my desk. My 'spitoon'. Yup; don't care - gotta do, what I gotta do.

Worst one yet; at my parents and just 'dumping food' out of my mouth that I just KNOW will get stuck. It's almost like an immediate reaction now.

Ahhhh, I love my band.

That was great, Juli. Don't let that get you down. Wait until you have to run out of a resturant, to froth, before you pay the bill.

Thats a little embarrasing, too. Especially when some one runs after you, because they think you are trying to stiff them on the bill. :>[ I try to keep lots of napkins handy.

I spit a lot, & there is always that string of slobbers. YUCK!!!

That really did make me spit capuccino.

I laugh because I UNDERSTAND. Especially the long string of slobbers....ew.

I had former Iron guts. NOTHING made me gag.

Banding has given me a gag reflex that I never had before. I like those prepared heat and serve Knorr Soups, but the other day I got a twig type thing in my mouth. Before banding, I'd just have swallowed it, but now, NEVER. So this gag reflex is new to this girl.

I guess that is why I have found this thread so funny.

NO funny stories here, yet, but I am enjoying reading.

I was PBing sushi on Sunday as I was driving down the highway. I ran out of the restuarant into my car because I didn't want to be inappropriate in the restaurant. UGH.

I should have gone to the toilet there, but I get that glassy I've just thrown up look after a simple PB look and I didn't want them to be suspicious. I go there all the time and I was only one of 3 customers. The guys working were all very chatty....

How happy was I to have a bag in the car. I'm keeping gallon ziplocks in the glovebox for just that reason!!!

Man I love you guys. This is just cracking me up.

I have had this lung crap for almost a year and I hack and cough all the time and instead of using tissues up I cut up a bunch of "wipe-all's" (Work shop type towles super thick) that I get from work and Spit into those because I just cant spit with out the trails all over my shirt.

Would this work for the slimes?

i so just use a trash can or something, or just spit out the window.

the first time it happened, i was at a family dinner and everyone was starring at me like i was about to spontaniously combust or something, i just excused myself and took care of everything. i think i might freak my family out sometimes :-)

you guys are so funny...:rolleyes:

While on vacation we went out to eat at this really nice place and yes I had to get rid of something.....something coming up really fast. I jumped up, ran to the bathroom and right as I opened the stall door it was coming out of my mouth. All I could do was aim. Well....I missed. It hit the seat and some poor lady's foot next door. She was so concerned about the stranger throwing up on her foot she waited for me to come out of the stall, to ask me if I was ok.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
