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 :)
