chew and spit?

[Gone23456 0]

I'm required to go to 8 support meetings in the first year after my surgery so I'll be with the "chew crew" for a while. Hopefully, the next meeting will run closer to "normal".

Did they say that they did it on a regular basis or just to have a taste of steak. I can understand wanting to taste the steak without swallowing it since it is such an unfriendly band food. I've done this to get a taste of something that I can't eat with my band. It's an easy way to solve my craving.

But I completely agree, if it's an everyday habit, then they need help figuring out why they aren't willing to eat.

Congratulations to everyone on their weightloss so far!! I am extremly excited to see my transformation everyday..

Thanks goodness for those who are honest and can answer inquiring mind's questions. Guilty. I've done it less than a handful of times but with very minimal food ie...a cube of cheese, or a piece of lettuce. Again, it is just about getting the taste and being able to chew. I can see however how this can become a bad habit and how gross it really is. Before you know it your chewpitting - thats the best i could come up with - a whole McDonald's value meal. ..

So for those that are pre op right now, good luck on your journey. I lost 19 lbs on my clear 5 day preop.
