I haven't chewed in 20 days!!
I hear ya Nicki. I am day 13 of my post-op liquid diet and just want to chew on something. I saw a banana in the grocery store and almost cried. :-)
the only thing that has been making me sane is I found a snowcone machine at a yard sale and have been using that with my isopure/zero powerade mix so I get to crunch on the ice.
Your doing GREAT!!

I am on day 14. I cheated and had a mint and a piece of sugar free gum. Both tasted like a t-bone steak about now...

Turning off the TV might help - or watching things without ads, like via Netflix.
I enjoyed eating ever since I finished up with liquid foods. Pureeds were GLORIOUS. I had so much diet fatigue by the end of my 24 days on liquids.

I used the mini processor attachment for my Ninja. But really any blending device would work - food processor, blender, immersion blender, etc. :)

Sugar free popsicles are helpful if you can have them. At least they feel like solid food. The liquid diet really is the worst part of this process. It will get better. Every day is one step closer to putting it behind you.
