Not Using My Brain..

so my almost 3 y.o son was "cooking" for me and gave me a chopped up cucumber. not even using my brain i swallowed it. it was a tiny cube.. but OMG it hurt so bad i cried and wanted to die. i guess it still so fresh that i can't just eat. i swear it must be the tylenol 3 taking over. just thought i would share my first mistake.

aww I'm sorry - old habits die hard huh?!

I hope you feel better soon girl!!

It is hard in the beginning- I remember "dreaming" that I ate real food right after my surgery and I freaked when I remembered I wasn't suppose to- thank goodness it was only a dream.

I also got a bite stuck about 1 month out when I was just starting eating meat- OMG it hurt!!!!  I feel your pain- hope neither of us go there again!

I remember forgetting that you have to eat differently.  I still forget to remember sometimes.  YOu will learn though.  This may be all it takes.  Congrats on it being a cuke!  there are sure a lot worse things it could be.

I have that same problem when the brain stops working and pray that I didn't take to big of a bite. yikes

I understand its normal to have that moment of forgetting.  I had surgery in december and shortly after I volunteer to help my son's class room make gingerbread houses. I remember getting some frosting on my finger and in the past I would always lick it off and move on. Well, I almost licked my finger a 1/2 a dozen times. The same things happened the first time I made mac & cheese for my son. I almost tasted the noodle to ensure they were done. It does take some time to grasp this especially when its things before you never even thought about.

Best wishes.
