You look so amazing! Also... I am in love with that cute little basset hound! They are seriously the best dogs ever! [emoji7] Sent from my XT1254 using BariatricPal mobile app

I did the same thing. I chew it up and give to dog. I know it's a bad habit but once in a while it's ok. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I'm now over a month post-OP and I can safely say that the chewing food and spitting out didn't become a habit. While it may have not been in my best interests at the time; I did solve that craving I had at that time. I can see how it can lead to food eating disorders. So it most definitely can be a slippery slope for some. Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App

Yeah, why not? She liked it. Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App My dog likes to drink out of the toilet and roll in dead stuff, but that doesn't make it a good healthy option for her. Urp. The thought of chewing something and feeding it to another living being just makes me a little ... ew. Yeah, it's a bit on the gross side but I don't think 4 bites will necessarily kill her or anything. She is still breathing and acting like normal since you seem so concerned. ????. She also got part of the fat trim that I won't chew on... because I personally find it gross. To each their own. Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App

I've done it. I'm 13 days out of surgery and back to making food for my family. Sadly, food I cannot eat... (My husband cannot cook and they both have been suffering from eating easy to make meals for a few weeks now.). So I made them some steak the other day and while I have been able to stay away from everything else the smell of that steak was killing me. So I did what I thought would help me. I chewed upon the steak and spit it out and fed it to my dog. The psychologist once said if it is bothering you to the point you are obsessing over it. You can set idealistic goals for yourself on how to address your cravings. Now I'm sure they didn't mean 13 days post-OP but, it worked and after 4 bites and spitting it out I was satisfied.

Hello everyone! So I'm ten days out from my surgery. I was on pain meds, anti nausea pills, and an antacid. I've stopped the pain meds and nausea last Friday. I've been dizzy since the day after my surgery but it's gotten worse since. I just attributed it mainly to the meds I was on... Then started blaming the lack of calorie intake. I am trying to do good with my Water intake but, it's difficult. I usually drink 35+ or more Fluid ounces a day. So I guess what I'm asking is bottom line... So you think I'm dizzy because I should be drinking more or another issue? Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App

You were given an antacid to take every day right? I haven't had any heartburn issues but, my doctor prescribed me an antacid to take once a day. Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App

I'm starting to regret going home a day early and I'm freaking out. I can't drink my premier Protein shakes at ALL. Just one sip of them makes me want to vomit. I liked the taste of them before! What's my problem now? Not only that but, I'm struggling with drinking Water. I was able to eat half of a strawberry Jello cup but that's it's today. I need advice.. ????

Thank you so much for your reply. I'm a worrier by nature and I feel as if I'm already failing at this life change by not consuming the Protein shakes. I'll see about ordering the protein powder. Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App
