Today is either day 3 or day 4 of the clear liquids, depends on if i count surgery date or not, however, my mouth is craving some crackers or something crunchy.  My stomach is not wanting anything but my mouth is.  So I ask, is this normal?  When I go to the frig to get jello or water, I see the left overs hanging there and my mouth wants them!!  Again, is this normal??
Thanks for your insite!!

Debbie,

You do not count the day of surgery, day one is the day after surgery.

Yes, it is normal. The body has been designed to chew to satisfy the need for food and nutrition. Liquids do not quite cut it. Also some of it might be head/eye hunger. Keep up the good work and follow your doc's protocol for liquids/foods. You will get through it. Try reading a book or do a craft instead to occupy yourself.

 Oh yes,  I remember those days.  I still get some of those urges.  Sugar free popcicles are my answer.  I should buy stock in the company!

i figured it had to be normal.  I have the popsicles, and they are such a welcomed treat.  I work up to a growling stomach and went to the full liquids today.  I had some cream soup, strained for lunch and it was so good. 
Thanks for letting me know, all this is normal
Debbie
