Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 I am 8.5 weeks post surgery and i cannot believe how long it takes me to eat anything. I pretty much try anything, but stay away from stuff that just hasn't worked. Let's talk about the stuff that does work: tuna sandwiches, waffles, grilled cheese, baked dinners, fish, etc. French fries are too hard, crust on bread (regular bread, not italian or french) is too hard, deli sandwiches, like turkey or ham are too tough to chew, turkey alone, OK, even Cheerios soaked in milk take so long. i know i went 6 weeks without chewing, but should it be this tough? i am not asking to chew steak right now, but i am simply surprised. I suppose i cannot imagine what life will be like when i can eat normally and wash my face and scratch my chin without being bothered by the sensation. I really am doing GREAT, just checking in on these two issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
