Monday Morning Coffee

Nan,

I got foamies while shopping this weekend.  My guess is that I didn't chew something well enough.  Try that.

Good luck,

Edie

oh my gosh, and you are pretty far out...I really thought that would go away with time!  Yes, I think I just need to chew better.....!  And take more time in between bites.  I feel like lately I'm a little gun shy about trying things because it is happening more frequently, but I know I just need to stick with the plan and slow down and chew better! 

Thanks for the advice!

Nan,

I still get them on occasion.  My big flag is hiccups.  If I eat too fast I get hiccups really hard to the point they will almost make me vomit.

Its a learning curve.  we hae all been there.

Nan,

I gotta say I was surprised too!  I usually don't have a problem, but I was having lunch w/ my sis and niece and we were chatting away!!!  I guess I wasn't paying attention.  I'm actually glad my pouch is talking back to me!  I hope it always has a bit of an attitude!

Hey Naner Bananer,
I threw up for the first 6 months after surgery.  Greek Salad still gets me some times.  A lot of places put sugar in the dressing, so that might be it.  I think it's the combo of sugar and fat from the cheese and oil that does it to me.

Anyway, I never got foamies, but I would eat dinner most nights and I would just "know" it was not going to sit.  I would go to the bathroom, get rid of it and instantly feel better.  I freaked out a lot at first, but then I realized that it was ok, and my pouch was just a tad on the bratty side.  

Things have calmed down now, except for the occasional incident. 

Hey Brenda,

You know, I never thought of the sugar, oil & cheese from the salad - LOL.  Geez, I have SO much to learn!!

That is exactly how I feel after my meals right now...I feel like I eat, sit for a little bit and then just know that I want to go to the bathroom to get rid of it and then I feel better...almost like I could eat again :-)  I was kinda freakin out too but now realize it seems pretty normal when I hear others talking about the same thing happening to them. 

So Saturday after I got sick in the bathroom at the restraunt, we were walking to the car and yep, right there on the sidewalk walking to the car....started getting that feeling and sure enough, had to 'get rid of it' right in downtown Ann Arbor swarming with people... Real attractive I'm sure :-)  LOL .  I did walk around the corner of a bldg and was praying there was no one on that street where I quietly (or not) did my thing and then kept right on walking....I didn't even want to look around to see if anyone saw me.  Steve says 'did you get sick' and I said 'nope, I'm fine'   :-)
 
anyways....thanks for your reply, I'm glad to know this is normal!

I kept a brown paper lunch bag folded up in my purse.  The few times people saw me I just acted like I was hyperventilating and had to breathe in to it!

I know this is gross but my son points out the landmark parking lots that I have "spewed chunks" (his words, not mine) in.  We'll drive by some place and he'll yell out...."Remember when you threw up that chicken sandwich right there?"  Gotta love kids.

So yeah, it's normal, and it will go away.  Mine was always at dinner time.  I never found out why, but it just happened a lot after 6pm.  I wouldn't say that you're normal, cuz none of us are...but you are just like the rest of us!  LOL

Hey Michigan,

Just had a snack of red, orange and yellow peppers w/ a couple grapes, I'll break for lunch in a little while.

Q:  My birthday was last week and I got 2 $50 gift cards for Nordstroms....so shopping I went.  I LOVE buying clothes now.  I'm really trying to be good and not go crazy, but I do just love it.  My rule is to only buy things on sale, I won't even look at the rounder if there's not a sale sign on it!  I love the thrift stores too, but nothing better than free money at the mall.  Besides that, it was working outside, a bit nippy yesterday, but after putting on 3 layers I was out and about and enjoying the sunshine!

Kristy,  good job!

Have a great day all,

Edie

Hey Edie....happy belated birthday!!

Thank you!

Edie
