It is bad. Eating disorder bad. Stop. If you can't stop seek professional help.

You are entitled to make your own choices, but since you are *asking* for others' opinions here, I'll give you mine.

It's my opinion that doing this will trigger some very bad things for you. The salt and flavoring is bad enough (health-wise), but it's just going to cause you to want more of it. Sooner or later you'll just be eating doritos again, which, for most of us, might be one of the things that landed us here in the first place.

The surgery is a chance for you to "reboot" and start over by making healthy food choices. Don't squander that opportunity for a few seconds of manufactured satisfaction.

Best of luck

So idk how bad this is but i have been sucking the salt and flavor off of doritos and throwing the chip away

Ha I've totally fantasized about this. I too am a salt/savory addict. I am not allowed real foods yet and have seriously thought about what will happen when I want that crispy crunch, which led me to research alternative yet more healthy chips like oven roasting all kinds of root vegetables. Idk where you are in your progress but look those recipes up, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if there was a vegan dorito recipe.

Since I've been unable to eat food it didn't mean I didn't want them but I sat back to examine my relationship with food, maybe you've done that too, but if you haven't it wouldn't hurt to think about what emotions or moods you are attaching to this activity and it might help to research recipes for alternative crunch stuff.

Be kind to yourself.

Why go through all this pain and work and then throw it away to lick some chemicals. I agree with others please get some treatment.

oSeems like a bad idea.

Don't torture yourself like this.

I'll throw an alternate idea out there. A salt craving can indicate a potential mineral deficiency or other problem that your body interprets as a need for salt. Since you say the salt cravings seem to be a new thing for you - talk to your primary about this new craving. If it turns out to be more of a "head craving" than an actual physiological one, then seek therapy for ways to deal with/get past the craving rather than giving in to it.

That is the worst part. There is not much left of the Doritos at that point, you might as well eat the rest of it too.

Wouldn't it be if we all lived in a camp where we could smack junk off of each other's hands every time someone gave in to a craving?? "No! You are not doing that to yourself. You just earned yourself three laps, missy"

      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? 🤷‍♀️
