HAVE I HURT MYSELF???? I swallowed gum this afternoon and I am only 17 days post op.

I was out with my son today and he offered me sugar free gum. I have not chewed ANY since my surgery May 1st and I hesitated taking it. I did and after a while, even though I kept telling myself not to, I swallowed it without thinking. I am on blended foods still and am so scared. I don't know what symptoms to look for, if I have hurt myself, if my opening will get blocked. Please...help me!
