hi peeches, once you get to the soft foods stage you will say hey the liquid phase is not so bad...i am on the soft foods now as i am almost 3 weeks post op and i really cant eat a whole lot....eggs are about the only thing that agrees with me....your belly will hurt so bad that you'd rather eat foods that you know you can tolerate....hang in there...it only gets better...

Dont feel bad I did the same thing when I was on liquids.. however, I survived it.. I am doing mushie and pureed. although my doctor says I can try soft foods... I am a little apprehensive so I am sticking with mushie and pureed.
Just hang in there

Hang in there you can do this. I know how you feel though. I wanted to do that, but I know me, I would have swallowed that chicken and turkey.

That's funny.....that thought crossed my mind yesterday. Almost absentmindedly put something in my mouth, but stopped myself. Then later thought, "Hmmmm, I could put it in my mouth and chew it, then spit it out...." . I haven't done that yet, but I see no harm in it. Please don't accidentally swallow!

The only reason I would discourage this is b/c digestion starts in the mouth, as you are chewing that food enzymes are released and it tells your stomach that food is on the way and it can cause an over production of acid which can mimic hunger and cause heartburn.

I would never have thought about it either, but I wrote a paper about disordered eating as part of my thesis and learned all sorts of fun things like this LOL

I guess this is what I have to look forward to! To chew, or not to chew. That is the question!!!

Im so anxious to be where you are now. Surgery is tomorrow morning so I will soon learn your frustrations. :)

Hang in there! At least there is light at the end of the tunnel! :)

I won't chew and spit out because I know I will mistakenly swallow. Enjoy yourself. I wish I was able to trust myself to do it :)
