this was my first day back to work after surgery and I didn't plan very well. I upgraded from clear liquids to thin liquids so I was excited to bring a protein shake to mix with water along with a little juice and a bunch of crystal light. this was after having Isopure for breakfast.

notice the problem? all sweet stuff.

right after the juice my boss comes by eating prezels and I wanted the salt so bad. so I had it, and threw the wet preztel away afterwards. I had a couple.

sounds silly, but can anyone see any reason not to do this? my blood pressure is controlled so I don't generally worry about salt.

once upon a time I had a group to talk about Binge Eating Disorder, and later one about Clean Eating.

PM me if you are interested in either of these.

I don't see anything wrong with it. If you've been having any soup or broth, chances are you're having lots of salt. I don't see the difference between salt on a pretzel and salt in other stuff. If it were me, though, I'd choose not to do it because once I start to suck the pretzel, I'd probably convince myself that eating one isn't so bad - so long as I chew it. And then I'd eat more - and so on...

I hope not b/c somewhere between week 2-3, I was sucking and chewing up regular food and spitting it out. I was just tired of the darn soups and wanted to chew something. I had cooked fried chicken for the kids, and I just grabbed and chewed and spit it out, I remember that felt and tasted so gooood!!!!!!!!!!!!! it hit the spot, and I did not feel incline to swallow

 Pretzel Sucker!  I did it too, during that overload of sweet stuff phase.  only it was a couple of chicken in a biscuit crackers.  I also popped a little piece of a hot dog in my mouth one day and rolled it around in my mouth for about a minute and then spit it out.  It didn't seem to hurt me any and it made the day a little more bearable!  Don't worry about it.  I suppose if we did this on a regular basis, it could potentially become an eating disorder but soon enough you'll be able to eat "real" food again.  Hang in there!

LOL!!  I used to suck and spit out Chex Mix!   When we went out for Mexican dinner while I was still on liquids (I ordered soup) I got my own salsa and dipped the chips in salsa trying to get a little puddle of salsa juice, then sucked it off the chip.  By the end I had a nice little stack of sucked on chips sitting in front of me!!  My 12 year old was so embarrased!

Are you suppose to be on clears still? Ithink the only problem is next you might let the pretzelmelt in yor mouth. And that would be really bad. You need to let your tummy heal.  Be careful! I know it is hard but try to stay on the diet.

Since they are from your boss I would definitely put them back in the bag after you've done your business.  Wet pretzels can still pick up loose salt from the bottom of the bag.
