When I want to eat something that I cannot eat I chew it until it's mush and than spit it out. It helps with the hunger pains from not being able to eat. Does anyone else do this?

Have you tried freezing crystal lite in ice trays. Its helpful when you want to chew on something and the cold is nice in the tummy. I also tried putting icecubes in my blender and making snow cones with different sf drinks and Protein drinks.

Good luck

STOP! I have had eating disorders and while trying to overcome bulimia I began to chew/spit. It most certainly is an eating disorder and can become a difficult habit to break.

Many of us got to be obese by using food to self soothe. I've spent years in therapy for this. Prior to getting WLS I made sure I had enough self soothing tools at hand so I wouldn't be tempted to turn to food.

Please talk to your dietician or therapist if you have one. Seek help. You're turning to food for reasons other than nutrition. I'm not judging you-I've been there. I want to see you succeed in losing weight and keeping it off. You may not feel like eating now but you will.

Sending hugs :)

I have been working very close with my surgeon and nutritionist. I have tried every form of Protein and anything other than Water and I throw up. I have heard before it's a eating disorder but didn't think I want that bad. Just drinking Water is so nasty sometimes. I can't even get Vitamins in. They were going to put me on a Vitamin patch but I'm allergic to adhesive. The next step is IV Vitamin infusion.

Some doctors prescribe vitamin cocktail shots...mostly for people with chronic fatigue syndrome.

Makes sense to me: Not eating cures hunger. Bottle it and you'll make millions.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
