@@maxiwood I do that even with foods I'm allowed to eat now. Anything I swallow comes right back up and I'm in horrible pain before I throw up.

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

I can eat sugar free Popsicles but I'm pretty tired of eating them. I can't have soda and anything with Protein makes me sick. Ugh!

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.

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.

Have they figured out why you're having so many complications? This is wild to me.
