I hear you this is my third surgery and I could have written love

poems to food during my chewing hiatus.

My advice is start slowly you aren't going to be doing steak dinner

once you get the okay to eat, its going to be alot of mushy still..

I started off by putting food into already chewed sizes then slowly

starting to chew again...Mind you I do this while I am on liquids

but smaller sizes sometimes there's just something you got to eat!

Variety is key.

M,

I can safely say that everyone on this support network is ready to talk

to you and lend a listening ear. I'm only 2 days post-op and the liquid

diet is already starting to annoy me. There is only so much sweet stuff

a person can take! When I get frustrated what I try to focus on is the

end result i.e. a healthy and balanced bite. Hold on, you're almost

there! Keep on posting as often as you like. I find just getting things

off my chest helps, especially because we can't exactly talk at the

moment very clearly.
