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"

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
