Chew & Spit
This is soooo funny because the commercial for the crunch wrap supreme is driving me crazy too! (and commercials historically have no effect on me) I have only done one spit and it was soda after I had some mashed potatoes (they seemed to leave me very thirsty even though I was very light on the salt). But I am on a full liquid diet still and am afraid to go too far off from it. I dream of chinese food and doritos though, the only way I have avoided it is because my husband will only eat things I have never liked before (he's living on tomato and onion salad).
My downfall is that I really want to chew (In fact I do chew my water and protein drinks -- it's really wierd). Today I did break down, I wanted something different from CIB, mashed potatoes, cream of wheat and pudding, jello and juice. In my freezer I found a pint of soy ice cream -- raspberry -- low fat, fruit juice sweetened. So I scopped up 1 serving (a half cup) and started eating it, slowly. Letting it melt in my mouth before swallowing. I only ate about 1/4 of that 1/2 cup and although before surgery I didn't really like it, today it was heavenly. I put the rest back in the freezer so I can have more later. The really good news is, nothing bad happened to me, no pain, no sickness, no dumping. Whew.
