Guys I am realizing that I have developed a new habbits of chewing up certain food just to taste and spitting it out. I'll never swallow and I ve never been obsessed with food. But this is definitley a problem. I've been very succesful but I can't seem to stop this new wired habbits..? Thoughts

How far out are you? What kinds of foods are you doing this with? While it may be a stretch, could it be a transfer addiction? Or are you subconsciously telling yourself since you will never eat normal again, this is the only way to quiet the cravings? Because in time you will eat normal. It will be a new normal.

Because you can't have something right out of surgery, doesn't mean you can never enjoy it again.

Can you try to focus on what your current requirements are so maybe you will be distracted from bad foods? That way you can start retraining your brain for the good food and when you are far enough out, you can have occasional treats.

Personally speaking---I get it... As weird as it is- did it with grapefruit yesterday lol

Professionally speaking-- it's concerning as this is new and a behavior that can be often displayed in the start or really into diff eating disorders-- if u can stop and not do it-- no prob but if its a compulsion and always on your mind if seek out a psychologist or counselor that is specialized w eating disorders

I left a message for one as well!

ok thank you guys. im down 22# two weeks and 7 days. yeah i was drinking Pickle Juice as a pacifier but stopped cause i know the sodium is no good. The things im biting are like normal food. I have been trying to stop. Ill try harder this week or I will log every time I have the urge.. its usually when I am providing food for others. I have never been addicted to anything don't drink don't smoke. i was not a horrible eater, but sometimes comfort eat. i had an uncontrolled thyroid issue for years. I do have terrible anxiety.

I never gained all the weight back, lol i think I am diagnosing my self I have not been writing my food down! yes i secretly think I am the s*&^% so it stops now! I am going to follow all the rules i will not go backwards.! I promise who do I think i am? I swear* I am going to do better and not take one step for granted :) thanks for the support

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
