I'm sure I'm not the only sleever who's ever done this, but I'm going to come clean and fess up to what I did tonight....

So I had some chicken thighs in the refrigerator seasoned with rosemary, fresh minced garlic, onions, Badia complete seasoning, a dash of cayenne, a smidge of paprika, and a lil EVOO sittin in a ziploc bag since Monday night. I decided to bake it tonight with some biscuits and bacon wrapped asparagus for my family, while I would dine on some chicken broth made from one of the thighs. I ended up dropping some frozen okra in my broth to end it off and pureed it to enjoy for dinner. Delish!

So I fed everyone, and then proceeded to the kitchen to tidy up. The dishes didnt take long because I use paper plates alot, especially since I dont have a dishwasher and there are 7 of us in my home. So I get to the stove and its' time to put the leftovers away. When I'm done, I notice there's some hunks of ckn stuck to the bottom of the pyrex dish...you know, along with all the other delicious bits that are left that you could use to turn in to gravy? Yeah, the good stuff! So I'm in a dilemma at that moment...the carnivore in me is DYING to devour those scant pieces of well seasoned, crispy bits of ckn, while the sleeved part of me is saying, Ha! you aint ready to eat that yet! (I'm still in the pureed stage)....angel on one shoulder, devil on the other coaxin me to put the ckn in my mouth....and I did! I chewed and savored and chewed and savored that delicious ckn scrap like it was filet mignon...then I got to the point where it was either spit, or swallow...and after weighin out the chances that I might really regret it, I spit that sucker out (besides, I had gotten all the good flavor from it anyway!). Craving satisfied. No harm done! So the greedy devil in me decided to scrape the rest of those goody bits in the pyrex dish and continue my chew/dont swallow/spit game. I feel kinda bad about it, but at the same time, I was really happy to taste the chicken and remember how much I enjoy eating real food.

Anybody else able to relate? I KNOW someone else out there has played the chew/dont swallow/spit game!

I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD SURGERY YET, AND I HAD ALREADY THOUGHT ABOUT DOING THAT!! LOL.

*sigh* okay, so it is "normal"!! Day 4, I was going CRAZY!! I needed to CHEW! I have chewed and spit a bread stick, a bite of spaghetti, a bbq chip, a green bean, and a bite of steak. it is so HARD drinking your food everyday! I am so glad I am not the only one. I felt so ashamed, but glad to know I am in good company!

I have done this after cooking my boyfriend dinner one night, he laughed at me, and said its nothing to be ashamed of, youve been on liquids for 2 weeks lol lol

This can lead to an eating disorder so I don't think it is a good idea to do it too often. When you put something in your mouth, the digestive process begins and the juices come up from your stomach. It can cause an ulcer!

MoonSiren, it hasn't lead me to any eating disorders. It was just a quick way to soothe a craving during the early stages of being sleeved. Now that I can eat more foods and not just mushies or liquids anymore, I don't have those same urges. Thanks for your concern, but I don't think this thread is going to lead anyone down any eating disorder paths.

Happy Holidays!

Doing something once or twice does not mean that you have developed a disorder nor does it mean that you will. Habits take a long time to form and even longer to develop into disorders.

Please do not stress out about the possibility of developing an eating disorder if this is something you have done only a couple of times. That being said, if you find that you are doing it on a regular basis, then you probably need to take steps to stop the behavior befor it does turn into a disorder.

help my ticker hasn't worked for a long time - i did it some time back, sometimes i can't see it, or you other guys either, i contacted Alex - he must have worked on it cuz it was fine for awhile - gone again

I did this about 3 weeks, I was so hungry and I automatically took a bite of a trix candy. I chewed it and then spit it out because I got scared about a reaction to the sugar. Nothing happened. LOL
