Go back to clears for a couple of days and then gradually re-introduce mushies, being careful not to eat too fast or too much.

I agree, back off a little on the food making sure you only introduce one new thing at a time so you can identify anything that bothers you.

Except, this isn't just happening now that I'm on mushy/soft food. It's ben happening since I went on full liquids; strained soups, tomato soup, etc. My first soft food was french onion soup, my second was a scrambled egg and I only ate half. The spasms seem to come on strongest in the afternoon.

You are living what I'm going through right now.

Saw my Dr today and he said that it WILL go away. It HAS subsided somewhat (10 days post-op).

They said to take the medicine religiously. No reason for you to suffer.

Just work yourself through it. You can do this.

My nut said lots of people have trouble with scrambled eggs early out. I still think you should try clears, and then reintroduce the next stage--for you fulls, then mushies and see what you can tolerate. Good luck. And definitely if you have meds, take them!
