Next time eat the cheese and toppings and leave the crust. Watch the portion size

Oh for loves sake. This is a PROCESS. NO ONE is better than the other. No one has all the answers. We are all overcoming addiction and yes, eating disorders (because you don't become morbidly obese and need WLS w/out having an eating disorder.) The flippant "why have the surgery if you're just going to cheat/not follow directions/etc?" get me so upset because that is being judgemental--almost just as judgemental as the people who told us when we were fat "why don't you eat less?" "Why don't you not eat junk?" except it's worse. We all know better.

To answer your question, no, it isn't weird. If it becomes habit, I think it would be, but you're so newly out of surgery I think you're still finding your footing. We all make mistakes and have slip-ups. It's about the overall effort and what each of us makes of it. It's all our choice.

Hi all,

I wanted to chew on certain foods at the early stages (on the liquid diet)., chewed on meat such as chicken breast for a couple of minutes then threw if out because I wanted a chewing sensation in my mouth.

It's normal, don't worry just protect your sleeve... X
