11 days post bypass - and last night in my sleep I ate my bright orange wax earplug!

Pretty sure THAT is not in my post-op menu list!

I don’t usually wear ear plugs but we are staying in a hotel - the ear plugs clearly bother me, I sometimes take them out and stick them weird places in the night, like in the lampshade, squished inside my bedside reading etc.

But eating one! Well, I appear to have chewed it a bit, so fingers crossed my new tummy can figure out what to do - else it is Christmas Hospital Visit for me!

Merty Christmas to you all...

Hope there is no bad side effects. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Good news! I researched a little and earplugs (even with residual ear wax) have zero calories!

I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Merry Christmas and a very happy new year!

More importantly - do they have protein??.

Heehee. Any day now I will make the miraculous 60g protein!

Have you had a wad of pink poop yet? Inquiring minds and all? (psssst...I alternately snorted water out of my nose and read in your situation with extreme horror!) Good times.

In my ‘firehose’ phase I would have noticed immediately. Now things are more solid, I didn’t deconstruct, but I assume so!

The recalled feel of bits of orange wax between my teeth still grosses me out. But at least I chewed!!
