1 week out and I dont think I am hungry its just my mind..but Its so hard with the kds and cooking for them and their snacks....i ate ziti and spit it all out just to get the taste...doritos.....ummma couple of other things didnt swallow and rinsed my mouth out well! Has anyone else gone through this?

LMAO ...dude I am your sister from another mister..cause I did the same thing!

Great minds think alike....so do sick demented minds. Which are we?

Only time I spit food out was when I realized my lil tummy was full. N I didn't want pain again. But early on I liked to smell the food. I only eat good quality foods now they r satisfying where junk food isn't. Omg. Love sharing a steak n shrimp dinner. love the taste n smell of fresh seasonings mmmmmm

I'm telling you...go back and read the thread....it's a killer! LMAO

And I'm not even touching the "OMG it was large" thread!

OMG!! I just came back....dying right now! Thanks a lot now my side hurts!

I did this several times when I was on liquids. I told myself it wasn't a good idea as I didn't want to start something that seemed like a disorder. It helped me a little during the 2 weeks on liquid diet though but I haven't done it since starting foods.

Can't we be both? Some sick demented minds are geniuses in disguise!

Amen brother!

I had made a batch of pumpkin scones for a friend last week - I wanted to make sure they taste okay so I took the smallest one, took one bite and then spit it out.

I was telling my assistant that I did this and she said she had read Dolly Parton's biography years back and apparently Dolly did his as a regular form of "weight loss" - getting the taste of something, but not eating it.

So dolly had an eating disorder? Is that a good thing?

Wasn't saying it was good or bad, just sharing a story related to the topic.

OMG I totally do that .... just wanted to chew something about a week after surgery and it tasted so good but I was soooo scared to hurt my sleeve so I spit it out....... I also did it with a bite of pizza the other day. and I totally get you that its not hunger .....

I think the more you abstain from certain foods (sweets and other carbs), the less you will crave them. It has been quite a few months since i have had sweets and there are zero cravings. Now a good skewer of chicken is what I want at times when I am out and unable to find one...try not to get started on slippery slopes because they can snowball really quickly if they are not kept under control. Speaking from experience here before getting the sleeve...

Dead on. It's proven fact. Sugar is an addictive substance. Plus rises in blood insulin levels increase hunger and cravings, particularly for high glucose foods (starches).
