Question about food thickness.....

[outside*looking*in 0]

I am two weeks post op. I am recovering nicely and beggining to want regular food. I tried some hummus for the past two afternoons and here is what I have experienced.

I take about 1/2 tsp of hummus on a wheat pita chip (chip a bit smaller then the size of a dorito) I usually make the chip last for about 3 bites. I chew it really well but it almost feels like the thickness of it is a little hard to swallow. It is not a lot in my mouth. I don't have a problem with it once swallowed. ???

Is this just me or should I not be eating this? Is this normal for food to feel thicker?

Thanks in advance.

I would suggest taking smaller bites. Some docs want us on mushies at this stage of the game and hummus would be a little on the thick side for this. Some docs have us on regular food by then. It all depends on what your post op instructions were. I was on mushies at that point and had nothing thicker than Cream of Wheat. Hope this helps...
