Something Silly

I know this sounds stupid, silly or whatever....but I am so tired of chewing food...my jaw actually hurts I chew so much. Does anyone elses jaw hurt them? I think I am going to go back on full liquids for awhile. Mandie

Not silly at all, my problem is...I can only eat things I don't have to chew very much. Anything I have to chew a lot doesn't go down well yet no matter how much I chew.

Hi Mandie! I wouldn't say that I"m tired of chewing- but didja ever notice that food doesn't taste nearly as good after you've chewed it to mush? That's what I have a hard time with! By the time I'm finished chewing, the flavor is gone and I wonder what I used to see in whatever it is I'm eating! I guess that's a good thing!

Michele, I know exactly what you mean there. I think cottage cheese was the first thing I noticed that with back in the beginning, and boy what a sour taste it has after you mu**** to bits and pieces. Mandie

You woman are going to thnk I'm totally nuts but I don't have those problems and to be really honest I wish I did, I don't even have to chew to really little pieces like everyone else and it's ok, no dumping maybe a little bit to much or I eat to fast. I just wish my stomach was my hubbys and he wishes the same :I'm thinking of going back on liquids for 2 weeks again to see if maybe I canget back into things again. I'll take my dummy rules for people who have pouches. Cheri

Yuck! Full liquids are nasty! But I DO know what you mean. My jaw hurts, and it tastes so....TASTELESS, once you chew it up into mush! But hey, I am so happy I have this problem! I haven't lost anything since about a week, and I am wondering if this is gonna be yet, another stall. I did that program that yall were talkin bout the other day, it says at this rate I will lose like 75% of my excess weight! Man, I guess that's ok, but it's not my goal! lol I need to at least keep it going though, don't want it to change to 60%!

I don't usually get tired of chewing, but I sometimes I just plain get tired of eating, drinking, the constant struggle to get all the protein in. Even though I get hungry. Kaitlain Open RNY7/5/2005 247/199/145
