I get it. Today is my one week surgiversary as well. I'll admit I've thought about the chew & spit option. So far I have resisted :-) After the pre-op diet, I've found even cream of wheat tastes fabulous. I'm definitely craving something solid though.
Good for you for admitting it and making the move to get back on track!! I'm only a week out from surgery. I hope I can be as honest with myself when that time comes for me.
