My follow-up is your week also I think on the 17th. I have been grinding up ice and leaving it a little chunky to chew with my Water or Protein Shakes. Hope this will help. Hang in there!

Thats how I got through the liquid stage too. Keep a cup of ice next to you and if your teeth can take it, chew away, its what I missed the most.

I feel the same way! If i have to stay on Clear Liquids after my post op tomorrow i might go insane! I am really hoping he will move me to full liquids so that i can at least have something besides tea, pop sickles and decf coffee!!

OK, I'll fess up. I made some kick butt grilled chicken teriyaki with a pineapple glaze for the family this week and I couldn't stand not eating any, so..........I took two pieces and chewed them and spit them out. The chewing and flavor was like heaven and I don't regret it for one second even if I looked ridiculous standing over the garbage can to do it.

I did the same thing w popcorn at the movies w my son. I sucked until it was just kernel then I spit it in a napkin.

Haha! I love the chewing and spitting out thing. I may be tempted before too long, I'm on full liquids then purees for a full 2 months. I am definitely going to try crunching ice tomorrow.
