Bad Girls and Boys?? Rule Breakers?

I try to follow the rules to the t because I don't like discomfort and I feel like I've worked too hard and invested too much into my weight loss. I used to think that I was exempt from eating small bites, excessive chewing because I've never had a problem and I'm 6 mos out,... that is until last week I swallowed a big piece of fish and experienced the foamies for an hour before vomitting.

Hey everyone, I think our OP meant this to be a fun way tell our little nasty secrets! I don't think she meant to start a serious discourse about following doctor's guidelines.

We knew that. But sometimes we make light of things that we might consider a bit more seriously.

That's one of those mentalities that we keep joking about but always bites us in the butt. I personally always speak on it even if it is a joke because we tend to joke about things we are unsure of.

Hi there Ramie,

I dont know what an OP is but, Im assuming thats me. I was just excited to see the response my post got. Ok and maybe that some people shared some "nasty lilttle secrets". LOL
Ive heard the chew the food and spit thing and I have to agree that is NASTY and requires a whole new level of help if done more than once. nooo good.

Me? Im still pre-op so we'll see what rules I break..

Interesting discussion.

My surgeon had "rules" for me, and some of them I have incorporated into my lifestyle choices. But some of them I have decided are not appropriate and have ignored them for the most part...

I don't follow rules per say. I make choices. It's not a rule that I eat no sugar - I certainly could if I wanted to. I choose not to, daily.

I choose to drink decaf, because I know how it affects me. I will on occasion have a green tea that's not decaffeinated, but never anything more caffeinated than that.

I choose to take my vitamins religiously. I slip up occasionally and forget some, but that's not breaking the rules it's being human.

I don't drink an hour after meals because I'm full. And it won't fit. I could and I have before, but I chose not to. :)

Sometimes I choose to eat Cheez Its because I love them, but that's still not breaking rules.

Beginning to see the pattern? I don't really like to live my life by rules. I allow myself the option to do what I want, and then I choose not to do it.
