Am I a 5-day-post-op failure?

Hi all :). I'm 5 days post-op, and other than being HUNGRY all the time, doing pretty well. I feel like I must have absolutely NO will power though because yesterday I started something that I'm not sure is OK. I just HAD to taste these little spice treats that we got from Germany for Christmas. I mean, c'mon, they were calling my name LOL. Anyways, I chewed part of one up and then spit it out. I even rinsed my mouth totally clean with water before I swallowed. That seemed to satisfy that craving. Today though, I did it again. About three times with three different foods. I did NOT swallow any of it (but I can't help but wonder how much was absorbed through my mouth) and I made sure to totally rinse my mouth out with water before swallowing again, but I feel like I must have NO will power at all to be giving in like this already. Is there anyone else out there who's done this? I would never eat and then throw up --- that's just not my thing, but HOW do you deal with the fact that your family is eating KFC and your tummy is practically crawling out of your abdomen to get some? At least having that taste and being able to chew it seemed to satisfy a large part of the craving. Am I doomed to be known as the woman who chews and spits for the rest of my life? LOL Thanks!!!
