Gum

Lordy, I wish my sweets cravings were just mini.  My brain seems to think that is the number one food group. LOL  If the world's supply of Splenda was suddenly gone I'd probably go into a coma from withdrawals.

 

I think I am done chewing gum....last night I swallowed a piece...I should have known better I since child hood have been a chronic gum swallower....anyways it scared the crap out of me....I was expecting the worse but had no effects THANKFULLY.....but I am done for now anyways.

Hi Dawny,

We share the same doctor, and we both live in Long Beach. Have you been to the Long Beach coffeehouse? Have we met? Dr. Chin told me never to chew it too, but I like chewing though sometimes I think it keeps me from remember to drink. I am glad yours caused no ill effects. I am much farhter out than you and I didn't beginning chewing until two years out. Keep in touch.

Hi Nancy,

 We havent met but I am pretty sure we have chatted on here before.  I havent made it to the coffee house, when is the next one???

Yes I am very thankful I didnt have any ill effects I have enough problems keeping things down I had no business chewing gum......it kinda just happend :-[  

Coffeehouses are on the last Saturday of every month at 10 am at the Starbucks on 'Bellflower just north of the 405 (in Lowes shopping center). I will not be there during the summer, but if you want to get together sometime, just message me.

I sure will thanks!

You wanna know gum torture....stocking the absolutely FRESH boxes of gum that go up by my store's front registers.  Oh, so fragrant and *how* it makes me miss gum!  But I gave it up in '99 with my first weight loss surgery and haven't gone back since.  I used to always, always swallow my gum and know that I just couldn't trust myself not to go right back to that. 

We all get told not to chew gum and how it can get stuck in the stoma yadda, yadda but honestly I've never read a post here from anybody who got it stuck ad had to have it pulled out, have you?
