chew & spit out?

Don't feel too bad...I have done this 2x with Stove Top Stuffing! Kristy 248/208/140

Norma, Best spit then Let me tell you, this pouch thing has a mind of its own. Put something in it it does not like and get ready to You have a ton of willpower cause I know I would have swallowed. I am trying to do some more solid/soft foods now, and it is killing me ! I would rather not eat at all You think you want to eat until the power of the pouch takes over. Then you question your sanity for doing the surgery Denise 336/296

I am so glad to see this posting. Just about half an hour ago I was dying for something salty. My husband had some salt and vinegar chips with his sandwich so I licked the salt off of the chips and spit the chips out. I get to start stuff like sugar free pudding and mashed potatoes tomorrow but I just needed something. I feel so much better to have had the salt. But then I felt guilty like I was cheating or something. So I feel better that alot of other people are doing it to. Thanks for posting! I too had an episode with my husband and a piece of steak. I didn't chew and spit at all but man I wanted to lick his fingers. Jonita

HA!!!!!!!!!! I sooooooooo know that feeling... About 3 weeks out we had some friends over who didn't know I had surgery. They all wanted to order some YUMMY pizza for dinner, so we did. As I went to our outter fridge to put the leftovers away, I snagged a piece, shoveled it into my mouth as fast as I could, chewed chewed chewed to savor the awesome flavor, then spit it out!!!!!!!!!! I've done it a lot, actually. Normally just when I feel really guilty but can't stop myself... So if you're bad, I guess I am too! Dawn

hey girl, you're not bad!!! i did that with a hamburger patty. even though ground beef is on my list of foods i can eat right now, i couldn't go through with it. it just seemed to course and i was afraid i would hurt my lil tummy so i just chewed and spit...

Oh, not bad. I did this too, about 2 weeks post-op. A friend told me that Dolly Parton does this, she even has a little song for it! Well, when I wanted a big satisfying mouthful of pizza, it soooo worked. We do the best we can! Nona
