LOL everyone I've talked to who has had it all tell me "follow what Dr says & don't cheat" yesterday while visiting my parents my dad had cut uo some fruit (hicama) I love it! I chewed till there was nothing but.mush and spit it out. I felt guilty but I didn't cheat per say

Same except mine was a French fry, I even rinsed my mouth out so no little pieces would tumble down...lol

Yes! A week out I chewed a bite of pizza and spit it out!

At first I was a champ! I didn't crave anything didn't feel like I was missing out, I ate only what's on my list! But boy oh boy, as days went on I'm going nuts! What I can eat.grosses me out! I crave everything I can't have!

Good luck ladies!

I can smell grease in food now. I am 5 days post op also and have NO urge to chew n' spit. I can understand where that can come from as my surgeon lets us go to pureed food at day 5. I am not hungry, but I know I need to eat. meh. I was visiting my cousin who makes INCREDIABLE food. But when she was making country ham had NO urge to eat it. My brain and my old stomach knew how good it tastes...but I could smell the grease and it turned my pouch. Good luck!

I did that at about week 2 with baby carrots. I was making them for my kids and missed crunchy food. Lol I spit it out and rinsed too! I think it's just a part of coping and adjusting to the new lifestyle. Just be careful that these foods aren't triggers which will lead to cheating!
