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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
