That's behavior that's typically found in people who have eating disorders. :/

just part of the process with having (surgery) and being on a liquid diet (and being hungry). i never did what you described but have read on this forum about people who have.

I am on day 6 of liquids and would really like to lick the salt off a bag of lime tostidos........I don't need to eat it, I just want the salt.

Randii I'll put my hand up, I did it a couple of times on my mushie stage, I remember being so hungry I just wanted something more solid to chew on. I did it with chicken twice. Hang in there you'll be on solids soon, the liquid stage is hard especially if you had to do it for a few weeks before surgery too.

I also got cravings for salt while on my liquid diet...plain chicken broth gave me some of the fluids I needed, and satisfied my craving.

Be careful.... that may do more damage mentally than you think. I would find a healthy alternative or better yet something to do with my hands instead of eating.
