I haven't had my surgery yet, but a thought would be to go back to where you started... by that I mean - do 3-4 days of just protein drinks.  If your mouth really needs something to chew on, make sure there are not carbs in it.  De-carb your pantry and frig.  Take out and toss any and all - not allowed - foods that might have crept back in.  Make sure your water intake is at 64oz or better.  After the 3-4 days, cut your portion sizes back down to a fresh post op size.  These are just thoughts from what I have read and researched. Feel free to ignore if you want.
